Neverwinter Forest And it feels like yesterday was a year ago

Okay, he hadn't expected that. He'd expected this to be very quick -- an abrupt, yeah she can stay or no, get rid of her. Why was it something that needed discussion? Well, look, Mal didn't exactly have that kind of experience. It either was or wasn't. End of story.

But whatever. He sort of shrugged a shoulder, Okay. Well, let me know what you decide. I won't be too far. That was the main part of it, wasn't it? Kratos definitely seemed to be lingering around, but Mal thought that would be too awkward for him to do the same. He headed the opposite direction as Zephyr and Rosalie, going a handfull of yards away to investigate some of the burrows littered around the forest. His dappled pelt could still be seen between the trees, well within earshot if they gave a shout, but at least he wasn't like.. creeping on them. He did look back over occasionally just to make sure nothing seemed amiss. 

Turned out in the end that Rosalie wasn't going to get chased off -- but Mal did have to wonder just what might have been discussed, what Zephyr might have thought of it. Mal likely wouldn't ever be told.
