Relieved to know that her mother hadn't died while she was gone but pained to hear the obvious shake in his voice, she was more gentle in her answer than was usual. "I'm glad to know the Clan is doing fine. Luckily, I am doing fine as well, now that I've properly taken care of my... business." She eyed him, wishing that he would ask her what that business was. She would tell him in a heartbeat, of course, but wasn't sure how to volunteer the information. Still, he had been curious when he was young, so perhaps that hadn't entirely left him.

Frowning, she added, "And I am sorry about my disappearance, but I fear it was unavoidable. I would have told you at least, but I was afraid that if I told anyone why I had to go, I would be stopped, or worse - accompanied."

More to herself than to him, she mused, "I suppose if Stormstar doesn't allow me to stay, I could always return to Cloud and Sorrow."
