Catori stood gently, handing little Kida to his wife carefully. I dunno... I'm going to go check real quick... He padded up the wallsteps silently and peeked over, stiffening with shock as he saw a small otterbabe, no older than ten years, clothed in a long white tunic that was now torn and dirtied. He hurried down the steps to open the gate.
Ronan smiled fondly and hugged her closer gently, kissing her cheek softly. I know just how you feel, Love.

Laney rearranged Kida in her arms and smiled at the babe. "I do love your daddy, you know. He's the best daddy in the whole world and you are very lucky to have him. And so am I." She kissed Kida's forehead and then looked in the direction Catori had gone. By the way he was hurrying she knew something must be going on. "Tori, who is it?" she called.
"But we did agree to wait," Elthia replied almost disappointedly as if she were rethinking this decision.

Catori hefted the large bar beam out of the gate and tugged one of the doors open as the little otter stumbled in weakly. Catori caught him just before he fell to the ground and picked him up gently. Closing and barring the gate again, he turned to his wife with a smile. My baby brother's finally home, Laney...
Ronan chuckled and kissed her softly. I think we can manage, Love. It's only a couple more weeks.

"Your brother?!" Laney got up quickly but carefully since she held the baby in her arms and then rushed over to her husband. "Oh, Tori, he looks half dead. We've got to get him up to Elthia right away."
"I suppose you're right." Elthia sighed and rolled her eyes pushing away from Ronan reluctantly but playfully. Part of her was thinking how silly it was to wait for a ceremony when in their hearts they knew they were already bonded for life but then she forced herself to think how much better it would be that first night and every night after knowing that they had saved themselves for eachother.

Catori nodded, cradling his brother in his arms gently as he headed for the Infirmary. I hope she can help him...
Ronan chuckled fondly and watched her fondly.

"You go and find Elthia," Laney followed a step behind him carrying Kida. "I'll get your parents and meet you in the infirmary. They'll want to know he's here." Laney had met Tori after his brother had been kitnapped but she had heard all about the son they had lost from her in-laws. They would be over the moon to know he was here and alive.
Elthia grinned then and unable to resist she dove forward into Ronan's arms once again. She kissed him excitedly and then practically squeaked, "Just two more weeks."

Catori nodded and kissed her cheek before running up to the Infirmary, making sure not to jostle the otterbabe iin his arms in case he had any severe injuries.
Ronan chuckled fondly and caught her gently, kissing her softly in return. Yep. Only two weeks, Love. Then we'll be married.

Laney made her way to the dormitories at a slightly slower pace. She was trying to think of a way to explain to her in-laws that their son had returned. "They're going to be so thrilled to see him," the ottermum explained in a whisper to her wide-eyed infant. "But they'll be worried that he's not well."
"I don't know how I'm going to get anything done the next couple of days," Elthia sighed.

Catori bit his lip as he opened the Infirmary door slowly and stepped in. Ronan kissed Elthia's cheek fondly and smiled before looking over toward the doors and staring curiously as he saw the other otter walking toward them with a small bundle in his arms.

Elthia took a step away from Ronan as soon as she heard the door. Then she looked and saw that it was Catori and breathed a little sigh of relief that it hadn't been anybeast else who had caught the healer and the skipper like this. She saw the worried look on his face before anything else and her first thought went to Laney and the baby and then she saw the little kit in his arms and rushed over in full healer mode. "Well who is this little one and what has happened to him?"

Catori laid him on an empty bed gently. He's my little brother Kodi. He was captured by vermin several years ago and I just found him outside the gate. I heard him knocking and went to look and there he was. He must've been hurt trying to escape. He also looks a bit malnourished to me...

"Well we know how to take care of that don't we," She smiled reassuringly at Catori and then knowing that he wouldn't want to leave his brother so soon after having been reunited she turned to Ronan. "Could you bring us up a tray love?"
Laney knocked quietly on the door to the room occupied by Catori's parents and when they answered she slipped inside. "There's something I need to tell you both."
"You're pregnant again," Mum instantly guessed.
Laney was slight taken aback, especially since she still held her very small infant in her arms. "Um no, It's about your son, Kodi. Catori has found him!"

Catori sat on the edge of the bed and smiled weakly at the Healer while Ronan nodded with a smile and went to get the tray that was requested.
Catori's father blinked confusedly. Him? Him who? You don't mean, Kodi... Do you?

Elthia went right to work cleaning wounds and applying poultices staying positive about the outlook as she did.
"Yes, well. . ." Laney tried to explain. "Catori certainly thought it was him. You know I never met him but he did look a lot like Tori and his scent was similar also."

Catori held and stroked his brother's paw gently, also stroking his headfur gently as he watched and listened to the Healer.
Catori's father perked. Where is he? Can we go see him?
