Ocean's Breath Plateau The son returns

It wasn't long before a familiar voice reached his ears and Rolayne craned his neck around to see him. Hey, Dad, he said simply, a thump of his tail telling his father he was happy to see him. 

After a few moments, he stretched out one last time before righting himself and coming to stand. He shook the dirt off his pelt and then walked over to Rodyn, his intent to nudge his head into his shoulder softly, affectionately. It had been some time since he had shown that type of affection to his father, but after having it in Moonspear, he found he quite liked it. He needed the touch, the physical affirmation that he was not, in fact, alone in this world.
