Cargan watched the exchange between mother and daughter. It could have gone better, he decided. But it wasn't his business to intervene. He added the crushed battleheart scale to the concoction Rose was making.
Ruby smiled at her daughter. It was so nice to see here again. "She's upstairs honey," she said warmly. "I'll show you to the room." She left the kitchen, expecting the others to follow.
Cargan glanced at Rose before he followed Ruby up the creaky, old steps. Before they even reached the room a tired, but happy, Ceana came rushing out to greet them. "I thought I heard someone," she said. She rushed to her brother and enveloped him in a hug. Cargan hugged her back. "It's good to see you too," he said with a chuckle. He released his sister and looked to see if Rose was following before he followed Ruby into the room Orpheus was it.
