Sleepy Fox Hollow but a part of me knows I'm growing too old

For @Sialuk to post first and then looking for @Mahler.. though AW!

A myriad of emotions played within the man’s mind over the course of their travels. Fear, that he would not find Mahler of this earth still… Relief, when he had caught the faintest scent of the man… and now apprehension, as he considered how this might look to the man, as he stood upon Paleo’s borders, bringing home a girl who was not really his girl… In the throes of the type of relationship he had been warned against, given the fatigue and deterioration of his father and his own multiple lovers and responsibilities.

Still, none of this played upon his stony features—spare, perhaps, the coiled tension within his muscles, should the little paramour at his side be privy to such things. “He’s here,” he offered, his tone quieter than normal as his icy eyes assessed the borders of a home Mahler had built. Tipping his muzzle back, he called for the man—a twist in his chest from the fear of the unknown, and that he did not know what to expect of this reunion.
