[ Hootle observes the hand offered, before he churrrrrs softly and springs up off the table, slowly hovering his way towards Dohalim. It's been a long time since a certain someone requested his downy baby feathers for pillow purposes, but evidently Hootle doesn't hold grudges unless your name is Law. Beak parts, and there's a very gentle nibbling of Dohalim's finger tips in greeting, before he turns his face and lets them run against his facial feathers. ]

As long as he's not at the library. [there's a huff in spite of herself, before Rinwell looks sheepish] You're right, though, I don't think he's ever bored of training.

[ It isn't the longest hug, but it is fiercely tight and sincere, and accompanied by a widening smile on Rinwell's face when she releases him.]

I've missed traveling with everyone too. I know it couldn't last forever, but.. [a part of her can't help but wish it had. But the world turns, and Dahna-Rena-WholeNewWorld couldn't fix itself without them] But! That's why this time, I get to bring you something from the recent excavations we've been doing!

[ We, being the small team of Dahnans and Renans interested in finding their mutual history. It's a small project, one helpfully backed by Dohalim and Elde Menancia, and Rinwell rushes back to pick up the heavy box. Why save the best until last anyway? ]

You won't believe what we've found.
