Hushed Willows I'm ready to leave it, I'll go when I feel it

Ah — Mae had forgotten that Akavir might not be as comfortable as she was in this place. She hesitated a few steps into the den, but her gaze remained on the pups for several long moments. They were so small. It was easy to forget why she'd come here in the first place.

Reverie's invitation was an abrupt reminder. Mae sucked in a breath, pausing only a few seconds to see if her father would come in before she spoke again. I'm going back to Swiftcurrent Creek, It sounded more certain than she felt. To stay. But I want to help here too - I could visit. It's not far. She wouldn't be quite as useful from afar, but it was something, right? Mae watched Reverie closely for her reaction.
