Gwen is glad to be back.

She smiles as the country side becomes the area she calls home

It was quiet on their return. A pair of tired looking thanes greet them, along with Marigold looking fresh as ever, and with treats ready. As they settle in, though, the Baron exits his office, a set of keys in his hand that are attached to a rather flashy keychain. A self-defense object dangles from it, black metal but with glittery accents, the type with a pointed end and spots to slide your fingers through, adding a spike to your knuckles verse a possible assailant. This one is shaped like a bird's beak, the finger slots it's eyes.

Rochallor ggoes up to the Baron, and holds up the Stuffed Silver Wolf offering it up as Tribute

which he might walk by if he's distracted

The Baron actually stops, and looks at the wolf in surprise. "What's this?" He lowers down onto one knee, and reaches out to pat the wolf on the head.

"Uhm... well, Joe was saying that I was lucky to have someone take Blossom and me in, so I should either bake a cake or get you and the hold something, and you know Marigold is afraid I'll set fire to the house soooo... I won this.. with Joe's help"

And he offers it

He accepts the plush wolf soberly, and nods, looking it over. "Young Rochallor, you have seen that many of our people have a stalwart fae beast companion by their side. Until such time as you have found your own, I would have this wolf keep you company. He is mighty, I can tell from his size. Would you care for him on my behalf? I fear that the kennels would dirty his fur, and our nearest wolf neighbors may be a touch TOO wild for him. Can I rely on you?" Offering the toy back with grave certainty.

Rocholor'ss eyes widen with the great honor this is, and he clicks his hooves together and puts his hand over.. oh wrong hand, swap that.. hand over his heart! "I'll treat him like my second cousin twice removed- the one i LIKE" and.. he takes the wolf back and hugs it

He reaches out and gives the lad a pat on the head, and adds, "I see that you look out for Blossom as well. That is very noble of you, as we don't have a Troll to spare her. Keep up the good work." He rises.

The boy nods

and gets out of the baron's way

He heads out, and after a few false starts - the engine revs, then quiets, then revs again - Calanthe's designer sports car pulls out down the drive, and slowly rolls off with cautious speed.
