Mateo

Shuddering as another biting wind tears at them across the mountaintop, Mateo's arm moves around Flora given that she's only in a sweater and without a coat, and he hugs her close as they march in Spice's wake. Hopefully they've landed a very lucky distance from this shrine, and it won't take too long before the little dragon finds it. "Mm?" He has to turn his head towards Flora as she speaks in order to properly hear her against the bluster, though as he realises the nature of her question, his smile turns a bit guilty.

"I have been waiting to see how Stormbreak's leadership shakes out," he says. "But providing all goes to plan and the region is not left without anyone in charge... yes, I have been missing home," he admits. "I hope that does not upset you too much. You have made me feel more welcome over the past few seasons than anyone else, and I will be visiting you all the time. But I miss my flower shop and Molly's and all the good cocktail places and boutiques I know in the Silk Houses."
