Hoshor Plains junebug, what have you done? [m]

Mal wasn't familiar with Easthollow -- Atausiq hadn't mentioned it, pretty sure -- and Simmik hadn't known exactly where Saints were staying -- since Riley hadn't mentioned it, well, Mal couldn't make a snarky comment. Oh well. Maybe he'd find out later. Can't say I've met anyone named Esme, he said. That was all he could offer on that, unfortunately. He wasn't really in the frame of mind to help out searching for another stranger right now, either, for obvious reasons. When I find the guy, who do I call for? AKA gimme yo' name.

But that was when his daughter piped up, Yes, we will, to Liliana, a broad nod. Then to Miriam, You can start off if you want -- I can catch up in a few minutes. I need to know that scent. So I'll be right behind you. Mal leaned over again to give both Miriam and Liliana another comforting lick. He probably had to backtrack a little bit from here to find it for sure, but it wouldn't be long. If Liliana didn't want to linger, he didn't want to force her to.
