Later that night, Sylwen knocked on her nephew's door to check up on him. She opened it when she heard his voice and saw him looking out the window, dazed.
They were set to leave the next day. She had no attachment to this place, but the little elf had been here for nearly a year. Moreover, this was a place that literally saved his life.
Even if he had a neutral expression on his face and even if he wanted to go home, his heart must still be a little sad to say goodbye.
Syl sighed, walking past the threshold and sitting next to him. "Are you reluctant to go?
"We can ask your father if you want to visit," she said. "I'm sure you'd be allowed once a year or so."
