Wheeling Gull Isle oh no.

She tells him no, says that she is going back inside the opening of the rocky rise. He nods, though she does not dismiss him fully by telling him to return in a weeks time. It would be soon, very soon. 

He would not stray. 

Of the island, to the river and across the beaches to the plateau and back again. To the forest of allies. All here which he searched for Ying but he could not any longer. He had to stay. Had to be here for Ruo, for their pups... 

He breaths deep and hops atop the rock, ascending towards Ruo just as she would make her way down. Fiery eyes brush of her and his head turns away. Eyes to the heavens now, a smile on his face.
