He probably should have gone back to Legion, back to Arbiter. But until he was certain Raleska was going to be okay, he had hung about close by, hunting for her on occasion, making sure things were alright. When she was able to stand, although certainly not ready to travel, Kaertok knew that his time here was coming to an end. The decision was a hard one, but he knew it was the right one. Arbiter carried his children, and he owed them his presence and guidance.

The Tartok returned with a fat rabbit he had caught earlier that morning, only to find the striped wolf not far from the grotto's opening. Sugar Glider wasn't a threat, but Kaertok was still wary of her. He cast her a glance and a curt nod before delivering the rabbit to Raleska. He hadn't heard the question the striped wolf had asked, but that wasn't why he was here.

I am returning to Legion, he said, leaving no room for argument (not that he thought Raleska was the type to beg him to stay, although that would have been flattering). She knew where he was, and even though he now knew where she was (and were Rusalka was), he doubted he would follow her there. He paused for a moment, awaiting any final words from her. If there were none, he would depart and be on his way. Back to Arbiter, back to Jomyo, back to Legion.
