Wheeling Gull Isle backwards with purpose

It hadn't been really all that long. Just shy of two moons in fact, though it didnt change the fact that Aiolos had missed both Ruo and Huojin something fierce. He had kept himself busy, as often he did. Instead of his attention split between those two and his duties, he instead had placed all his attention to his duties. Simple, really. It was not to say that he missed his time at Ruo's rock with the pair, a rock which he still visited from time to time but had not stayed since they had been gone. It wasnt the same without them. 

Another call sounded. They had quite a few visitors as of late, loners and allies alike and though this call rang for Hua (as often it did) the guardian would still make way towards the border to stand guard should, given the chance, anyone meant ill toward his Empress. 

Original intention to stay back and wait, this all changed at the very sight of his son...and not Ruo with him. Worry plagued him, of course, but for the moment he let questioning sit to the side as he came quick to his son. Huojin! A laughter takes him, one he had not had in some time. Tail waving all the while, he lifts a foreleg to throw it over his son's back and try to pull him in close for a hug. I've sure missed you son.
