Ankyra Sound Home is only a stones throw

Etienne had always wanted to take up as little space as possible, to be able to bear the burdens of those he loved most. It had been something he had struggled with for a year now. And yet he also knew he wouldn't change it. No he wouldn't. He would do what he needed to do to make sure those that he loved would get better quicker whether it was emotional or physical.

Etienne was surprised and then he smiled. And offered his sister a soft nod. I will take care of me for you and myself. Though a bit of a cold shock went through him as he realized @Anselm, had pretty much said the same thing. That he wouldn't be helping anyone if he didn't help himself. One of the few good things the mountain beast had told him.

Eti chuckled. I will visit more Suzu and I will always visit you. I am your only Etienne! Or I better be.

There was laughter there, happiness. How he had missed her.
