"That's one way to think of it..." Janius mumbled, not entirely convinced by Lorag's sentiments.

As for everyone else, at least the chance that they would return eventually lifted their spirits somewhat. But, with the comfort came an equal amount of uncertainty.

Fendros ran his fingers through his hair with a bit of stress. "I suppose I had better make preparations today. I know a few people that can pick up my duties."

"Is there anything in particular we should do to prepare, Meesei?" Janius piped up, "Apart from packing up, of course."

"Dada, are we going to visit Bruma?" Rhazii chimed in.

Fendros managed a smile and ruffled the top of Rhazii's head, "We don't know yet, little one. Meesei is going to find out soon. Actually, that is a good point..." Fendros turned to Meesei again, "Will all of us be coming, Meesei?" Fendros was of course referring to the children. Though they weren't as helpless as before, they were still just toddlers.
