Merwyn.
That strange little fae man - well, he really wasn't little at all - was nowhere to be seen. It made her worried. He was almost always somewhere nearby, either causing trouble or fawning over her.
He was missing.
Of course, Mia was more than happy about this.
But he'd left a note, and his pet bunny Salty, on her chest when Emily woke up.
She was so confused about it, and it left her feeling alone. Merwyn was always present, and she didn't really know where he was now.
But the message was simple enough. He'd be gone for a bit, and Adrien should prepare for them to leave immediately when he returned.
This was not exactly a reassuring thing to read.
Adrien, however, seemed to understand the meaning of it much better than her. When he saw the note, he frowned and went quiet for a while, then nodded and reached out to pat Salty on the head. He gave Emily a reassuring smile and said he'd take care of everything.
And then he had nothing else to say about it.
