[There isn't even a second of hesitation before Rue answers,]
I will always save you. I am no feral owlbear mother. No matter what, no matter where you go, I will track you down and bring you home. Always.
[A clumsy hug is still strong, feathery arms wrapped around Rue, the strange familiarity tugging at their heart in a way they aren't at all prepared to process.
They take just a moment to press against Casey and breathe, before finally huffing out a mirthless laugh.]
Forgive me, little cub. I did not meant to take this down such a dark path. It just struck me, both the memory and the realization, but I am quite well, especially right here with you, in my beautiful shop, getting to spend this lovely afternoon learning to owlbear. I am alright. I did not scare you, did I?
