Neverwinter Forest young

Mal didn't notice Caerus. And Mal's perspective was entirely different. There had been so much negativity, so much worry, lately that here the distraction of his younger children was a very, very welcome distraction. A wandering sibling was a much less weighty thing than having to worry about looming possible death. He needed the break or he'd go mad, and he'd tried to help Caerus too, but it was a far steeper hill to climb for his son than it was for Mal -- Cupid had never let him close. Mal had tried.

But Liliana had found her brother, and Mal would enjoy this little reunion, Okay you two, you can't go wandering off without your mom, alright? Come on, let's get back before she's worried! A sort of conspiratorial way of saying it. It would probably make things easier to get them home -- besides, he liked being the good guy, the fun guy, he had no idea how Miriam specifically wanted to discipline her children. But either way, Mal would corral them both and shepherd them back to the den where they'd started. Maybe Liliana could keep Asmoses out of trouble in the future -- though really it would be needed the other way around.
