Nayru let her pace fall as Saluce set off after her, and as he posed the question they were side by side and she glanced as him sidelong, knowing that Saul's absence probably hung heavy on the man's heart. Unhappy? No. Saul was never unhappy. It had not been that. Of all those who resided in Cerne Rise, Saul had kept his spirits up the longest. Gideon had been the dark cloud looming over them all, and Siku's reappearance had upset the house. Then one by one they had snuck off. Gideon first and Eclipse, then Shiloh and Siku and finally Saul too. Only the "children" had remained, but Wretch, Melee and Range had all been grown, and it was no big surprise they too left Cerne Rise behind.
Saul I think lives for others, when Cerne Rise was empty so was he. He might have gone off to look for the others. To bring them back. Saul knows where he, and they, belong. Whether the explanation was true Nayru was uncertain, but it was the closest to the truth as Nayru could formulate knowing Saul and the circumstances surrounding his departure. The lady could have gone to find any of them, but having let Gideon and Eclipse go their own way, she had to allow the other to as well. If it were meant to, they would find their way back, and Nayru would not be surprised to see their faces once again.
