after getting permission to stay, okeanos had gone off in search of a quiet place to rest, and had rested, and now, recovered from the journey to elysium, turned his thoughts to his dad and his new family. he searches himself for any bitterness surrounding the news and is satisfied to find none: he wants his dad to be happy. his moms do too, he knows, and is pleased he can bring them this information -- or, well, he can eventually. that dampens his spirits a little.

he'd made the choice to go willingly, and he knew that mean he'd be away from home for some time. he knows he doesn't want to return to elysium for a little while, at least, but the reality of that desire -- of being separated from his family -- hadn't really sunk in, so overjoyed was it with the prospect of adventure and reuniting with his ibis. think how much had happened in the short time ibis was gone!

but, okeanos reminds himself, he should be grateful. to have the chance to travel with his sister, to have the chance to visit his father and to even potentially meet his new siblings -- he's fortunate. swallowing the lump that's formed in his throat, the yearling rises, focusing on this feeling. they won't stay long. with that in mind, he sets out in search of his father, to maybe even meet his new stepmother, if she's willing, if he's around.
