The Sunspire You have to every now and then

to explain why it took her a while to get back, I have made it so that she had a brief run-in with my doggie behind the scenes. Just for clarification :)

Despite the feeling of guilt at the thought of having made everyone worry, she couldn't help but laugh at Jace's words, though she bit it back rather quickly. He would be her next stop of course, but the idea of him holed up and anxious was a little ridiculous. It wasn't an image she could imagine easily and therefore was a little amusing.

"Maybe I will, but I know how much you'd miss him." Her reply was just as cheeky, and poked a little bit of fun, which she hoped wouldn't be taken the wrong way. Another affectionate nudge was given, just to make sure he knew she was joking and meant absolutely nothing by it. "I'll go find him soon. Summer's back though? That's great! When did he return?" She was happy to hear her friend was fine and that there was a positive explanation to her not having been able to find a trace of him around.

She was sorry to hear her absence had upset him, though it was as she expected. "Now you can be not miserable. It was a good trip, though... There was something strange that happened." She trailed off, trying to think of how to describe her encounter.
