Ouroboros Spine wolf-mother, where you been?

Her uncertainty pierced through the darkness in him, he felt it as if it might shatter. So much he did not know, if she would stay, where she had been, what had stolen her away or whys he had gone, what had happened to her. But he could not address any of that. "All you need to do is be here." And he said it with a conviction he may not have felt, smooth solid words.

She wanted to be home, there would be time for questions for worries for promises later but all that he wanted to tell her now was the truth. "We missed you. Arrluk and I and everyone...we searched for you." You were not forgotten. He tenatively shuffled forward, leaning back on his two back legs to open his front two open for a hug, almost as if he were afraid she would flee or disappear into mist if he reached for her. But his eyes were bright, taking in how she too had grown into a new frame. A tremulous breath.
