Maybe all you need is someone to trust
Where, exactly, was Paige going? He'd been lounging outside of the Halenani like any good father when he noticed the little girl slipping away. She was notorious for causing trouble and the urge to protect was strong with him lately. Maeve was with Edmund and Locke was trying not to be too overbearing, so following a little lost weasel shouldn't be too bad. And at first he didn't think much of it, expecting the little girl to get into general chaos.
And then she went through a portal.
It was, at least, to somewhere snowy. So he can't really fault her for. He actually pauses as the cold touches his paws. His eyes go wide but he doesn't say anything, not yet. He's never really been in snow. Sure, some Newleaf slush back in Stormbreak but nothing proper like this. Maybe, just maybe, Paige will want to play in the snow with him.
"Little ways from home, aren't you? I won't tell your Ma if you don't tell Maeve."
