Duskfire Glacier to heal our souls

Calida vaguely recalled her brief scouting mission with Veteran - she'd scouted only partway to their new home, having only wanted to plan out her own route, as well as see what the rest of the Teekons had to offer her; she'd not yet had any adventures, and she knew the upcoming move was her first chance. Either way, they were reintroduced, and Calida gave him a soft smile and nod of her head; he had been... better to travel with than expected. In all honesty, she had expected a child, but he seemed mature enough. The other boy with Veteran, however, was younger; Calida peered at him, curious, as he told Veteran why he'd been gone.

It was quite a tale - Calida's lips pursed, her brow furrowing slightly. Rye hadn't mentioned that, but she supposed it really wasn't her business. She'd definitely not share what she'd heard. Gently, she told Sikuliak, "It's very good to have you back. Your father told me how overjoyed he was for you and your mother."
