Regner's room was oddly quiet without Adelle around. With the introduction of a mentor into Adelle's life Regner had been seeing less of his granddaughter. Not to say that he didn’t see her, he still spent time with the pup and played with her but she also spent a fair amount of time with her new mentor, leaving the elderly male with periods when he was by himself.

After a while he would grow to appreciate these periods as a time to relax but for now they were rather disconcerting. Not wanting to spend his day cooped up in his room Regner was wandering through the courthouse, giving the large building a thorough look over, poking his nose into all the little nooks and crannies that he hadn’t seen yet.

He had chosen his Secui form for this task not because he felt like it, but because his leg forced him to it. As enjoyable as it had been his sparring session with Wayne the other day had taxed his abused leg muscles, leaving them stiff and sore. Walking in Optime would have been impossible but Secui allowed him some mobility. Albeit the three-legged shuffle he was currently using now was far from graceful and fairly painful but it got him about and Regner was more than used to pain and could certainly ignore such a small amount in the pursuit of not going crazy sat in a small room.

It was midday and as such the courthouse was rather quiet, most of its occupants out and about with their various duties. Without anybody injured for him to heal and no specific talents of his own that he was still fit enough to do despite said healing Regner was mostly left with little to do besides sleep and wander around. He couldn’t even hunt anymore with his rapidly worsening leg and lack of skill with a bow, a fact that was a rather large sore point for the elderly hybrid.

Still there was little that he could do. Despite the trouble they now caused him Regenr didn’t regreat any of his wounds for a moment. To the warrior they were marks of honour, gained defending and forwarding his pack and his family. If the consequences of his younger life was a forcibly quiet elderly life then that was a price that he paid willingly.

Cadmeia couldn’t stop thinking - Adelle’s mentor ceremony had made quite an impression on her. It wasn’t that surprising, being as impressionable as she was, but at the same time she hadn’t thought the impact would be quite as much. It felt as though her heart might explode out of her chest. Every waking second felt like an eternity. Time had never really meant anything to Cadmeia - not until now. When she was alone, she really had no concept of time. There were never any commitments that needed to be met, no responsibilities to be had - none except for finding a warm place to rest before the sun went down. Everything was different now, now that she had found a life, a place that she could call home.

It was now near impossible for Cadmeia to be comfortable unless she was in the company of another. How had things changed so quickly? Every moment she was alone she longed for someone, anyone, to walk into her presence. It’s not like they even needed to be talking to her. She just needed to know that she wasn’t alone in this world. Seeing Adelle and Wayne together at the ceremony really touched her, and she knew that she wanted what they had and would soon have.

It was strange to Cadmeia how she could so desperately want something that she had never had before. She wanted to FEEL...someone to be there for her, to fill her heart with love. Who would be there for her when she needed it most - was there someone she could run to when she was scared? The only one Cadmeia felt comfortable with right now was Hadley, but even he couldn’t always be there - and she didn’t expect him, or anyone else to be.

Cadmeia was so lost in thought, hanging her head down low as she walked about, that she didn’t even notice the elderly leg she was about to collide with.
