The Tangle Meet me out by the fire escape

Ashlar had finally come to a decision. It helped him to come to a sort of ease with the way that things would be, and he intended to tell her it and when she called for him. Perhaps she had changed her mind and would not - it would have been her right and he would not have been angry.

He would occasionally walk the Tangle and think of them, though, wishing them well. He wasn't sure if her presence there was an explicit invitation, but he approached her anyway, cautious despite the forward set of his ears and pleasant set of his tail. He wasn't unhappy to see her.

He did not know if the answer he had come to would be one she would like, but he did believe it to be the best for them all. He hoped that Chacal agreed.
