[Quiet Man Cometh]

Mirri padded her way through the forest, feet following the trail of the little kitten. Having spent the last few years in a human home it took a minute or two to adjust to the outdoors again but sit came back easily enough as though she has just wandered into town in hopes of an easy meal.

She could smell the remnants of the strange cat's passage, and that of Ciaran overtop but didn't pay mich attention to them. Ciaran could look after himself well enough and if he came back bumped up he hardly needed any coddling even if she were so inclined. Her own sons had scattered years aso, a few for the better and a few for the worse she expected. She certainly hadn't been entertaining thoughts of more.

When she caught up with Rin she found the kitten fiddling with something shiny and silver. Occupied for the present time, Mirri simply let Rin go about her business and settled herself into a less bushy place on the ground to wait out the sirens that still sounded in the distance.
