If your character has been in Dusk Oasis since before the BWP ending they should know Sparrow! At least in passing but feel free to use discord to hash out bts stuff lol

It was kind of funny really.

The Goldencourte women had been so smitten by Persimmon, that when his wounds healed and it was time for him to come home they just...didn't want to let him go.

Really, Sparrow should have returned to the Oasis sooner to let Apple know they were alive, but then Fiadh had shown up with a missing eye and with her mate and most of her kids missing...well. Shit happened. Sparrow's spent the last week looking for signs of Dimitri and Darragh, she had found Ksyusha and sent her home to see her mom though gods know the girl would just go off exploring again after.

The others were in the care of their grandmothers, though who knew if they were alright after the whole end of the world situation.

But she left Persi in their care, and began her trek back to the falls.

It looked so different without all the snow, in the sunlight, a good different.

Fuck, she could get used to this, actually.

The coywolf howled out for Apple once she reached the borders, before heading towards the woman's den, very obviously not having the pastel boy with her but...his scent was still stuck to her fur at least.....

Thank fuck y'all are too Sparrow responded, though she hadn't really thought about the Dusks not being fine, they hadn't been through the third door with her and the pup after all...how bad would the other doors be?

The queen started to cry though, before Sparrow could reassure her that Persi was in fact fine, immediately putting the coywolf on comfort duty. Girly he's alive! He's fine, hey she closed the gap, giving her a friendly bump with her head. Persi's in Avon getting doted on by the matriarch and her mother, he's having the time of his life. And he gets to play with a yearling with his condition

Was it a good thing? Putting two people together that don't understand limits?

Proooobably not.

He got a bite and sprained his wrist when we went through the door, but he's healing up nicely. Woulda come tell ya sooner but every time I tried to pack him up to come home Fable looked like she was gonna bite me that last part was said with a bit of a laugh in her tone, as if it would lighten the mood. Her own girls are missing, like we were, I think she's coddling the boy to cope
