Taki explained more and more on why she wanted to carry the news herself, and he nodded slowly, frowning and walking along with her. He hadn't forgotten the pain she'd described when Simmik had run away. Plus, Ursus was nearby. He knew that as a parent, he would have been terrified if he had a child go missing.
