The albino lass lay in the nest of trees, looking around for her son. She didn't want to call out-she was exhausted even after her nap. But Boiko was missing. Not him too! Nadia snuck off enough. She couldn't have Boiko doing it too.

Once Nadia and Boiko returned, Larentia was having a very long talk with Nadia about being a proper influence.

Yes, she and heard Beartooth's call. Yes, she knew this made him a king. And was Skadi by his side? Who knew how the girl would turn out under Beartooth's counsel. She was startled by a voice. Mother? It was Boiko. Nadia spoke before Larentia could even go off on them. Beartooth-erm, Father-and Skadi request your presence. Father wants to get you healed. Mother, we can go home.
