Swiftcurrent Creek Who do I smell?

Skipping myself haha

Arlette was so happy to see the young man. It was good to see him full grown. She liked to see him with a little more flesh on his bones but since he seemed to be traveling it was expected that he was on the leaner side. He seemed to be doing well. She noticed that Akavir gave them some space which was appreciated though if he would have stayed along to listen that was also fine with her. She didn't have anything to hide. She had a life before Swiftcurrent, it seemed so long ago. It was long ago because her baby was an adult. She told him about her life here and that she had a good life. That she was mated again to Arric. She spoke of his sister and the reason she joined but that she left with her daughter. That his brother also had children and was close by. Lots had happened. Thyme did not seem to have settled yet, and that was okay. It was just good to have a conversation with him. She got the feeling that he wasn't interested in joining but she made sure to tell him that he was always welcome here. She would let @Arric know as well if Thyme ever came to the border. Arlette made sure to send him off with a small meal. Hopefully he would visit them again some day. But she also knew that one day children went off on their own to live their own lives. She was glad to finally know that all her three children made it to adulthood.
