Equius, alas, still felt as pale towards her as he had the day they had parted. He'd had nobody to take her place, and the need for a moirail was, in any event, far greater in his case. Nepeta could get along fine with no partner, but him...well, for the past half-sweep he'd had to make do with maiming dinosaurs to work off his fits of rage. There had been a lot of dead dinosaurs.

He, of course, came to meet her as soon as she called for him. To be honest, it was with no small amount of trepidation that he came; Nepeta hadn't been quite the same since their reunion. He couldn't even define quite what it was, but it was undeniable. And whatever had changed, he feared it.

So of course, when he arrived at the training centre's entrance, he was already sweating royal blue buckets. He nodded to her as he approached.
