Whitefish River but then the fish gets caught

In the seconds between the fish falling out of her mouth and the fish slipping back into the river, Muirrin tried to sort out how she felt about this reunion—she hadn't exactly left her family with the most soaring thoughts of them. In fact, she had barely given a word or hint of her departure. Perhaps it was something all Blackthorns went through... after all, Turq had always been kind of rebellious. Was it really so bad that Muirrin had left to find her own way?

But as the sisters reconnected—and as Turq replaced the lost fish—Muirrin realized just how much she missed her kin. Granted, the majority were strangers, but in the forest she had never really wanted for anything except for maybe privacy once in a while.

At one point, before the two went their separate ways again, Muirrin said fondly, "You know, Turq... I've really missed you." It was a step in the right direction, at least.
