[Fawn]

Fawnsqueak raised his head as movement flashed in the corner of his vision, instantly met with a rush of relief to have Lionstar in view. He wasn't some enigmatic presence anymore, leaving Fawnsqueak to wonder if he was going crazy in his grief--he was here, somehow managing to find him.

"Hey, whoa," he greeted and attempted to counter the flinch-worthy volume, frozen as Lionstar advanced toward him to collect him in an embrace. After what happened, he shouldn't be indulging this. He knew he shouldn't, and yet here he was, failing to back away because he selfishly longed for the comfort.

Smiling lopsidedly, he mumbled, "I missed you more when you weren't deafening me. I'm right here, you don't have to..." He trailed off when he decided it didn't matter, he was simply grateful to have a companion in this lonely cave. It revived the curiosity that led him to ask, "...What are you doing here?"
