Nova Peak Long way home

Whatever uncertainties had plagued him over the course of their conversation fell away when Bazi reported that there was most certainly a creek here. It was even named after their old home. Relonikiv smiled his characteristic smile, his fawn tail waving in the air as he made to follow his aunt/foster mother back into the treeline.

"Can we go thwimming?!" he asked politely but excitedly. He hadn't gotten the chance to do much of it at their old home but it just sounded like so much fun. "Can we get Juliuth?" he added, not wanting to leave his brother out of it. He thought of his sister too, though after everything that had happened, Relonikiv and Julius were (to use a tired old cliché) two peas in a pod.
