He had thought long and hard before sending his letters. But in the end he had sent them to each of his friends who called Stormbreak home. LongNight had brought with it many losses throughout the Caido, and if he needed reassurance that his friends in the heart of the storm were safe with his own eyes, so be it.
He had steered his course clear of the floating city for too long. And if he was keeping his eyes open for blond heads and bright blue eyes? Well. There were plenty of those in Stormbreak, as luck would have it.
Even if those he had seen on his way from the skyport did not belong to the one he sought.
So now he sat in the White Hart, sipping a glass of light beer that was mostly untouched as he awaited Noe 's arrival. He had asked her to meet him here, in the famous tavern - a landmark he had felt confident of being able to find - to begin their tour of her hometown. A chance to see Stormbreak as only a local could.
A chance to see what had changed in the last year and a half, since he had last walked its streets beneath the full moon.
