He'd thought about it - thought about her, more than once in the time spent collecting his thoughts. He'd been concerned for her safety, and he'd had so many uncertainties, and many times he'd nearly gone out in search of her. But maybe it was for the best: finding himself before he looked for her.
Still, there's a hopefulness in her tone that makes him feel guilty he didn't do it sooner. "I thought I might, too." He's still learning the newness of these woods, can feel the power she's put into them. They're still woods: he can trace them by sun and the tilt of plants, the side of tree moss grows on, the trails of animals. But there's something effervescent about them, and unknowable.
"The way it all ended, the dragon," he admits, "I wasn't ready for it." It's an apology, as much as she's likely to get for him not coming after her sooner. "I don't know what decisions were right."
He shakes it off and holds out a hand to her, palm open. "I don't live far from here. It's no castle, but -- you could come and get a drink?"
