Devland was beginning to discover he was much nosier than he had originally believed. He frequently caught himself listening in on the conversations of others. The boy knew it was a nasty habit - one that would probably land him in a world of trouble one day -, but he didn't stop to correct himself. With his breezy smiles and polite words, he was anything but a threat, and maybe that was why everyone seemed to always speak so freely here. Then again, perhaps it was because the Typhoon acted as one; this was a family unit. He was sure secrets did not lay dormant for long, and it seemed everyone knew everything about one another. Devland didn't like that.
He wasn't fond of eavesdropping on soft moments, but as luck would have it, the feline found himself at one such tender moment. Devland had heard the newcomer (returner) calling out to his mother. From a distance, he just barely heard Roan's words. He strained to listen, but all was forgotten when Goldenluxury arrived. He watched as the Captain enveloped her boy in an embrace. The sight of it caused something to twist in Devland's chest, and he had to look away. The scene was much too intimate.
He could feel the familiar weight of his mother's stolen compass in the tiny bag he toted everywhere. Devland wondered how his mother might behave if he were to return home. He couldn't help but wonder if she had felt his absence in the way he felt hers. He doubted it. He ignored the storm clouds of jealousy that gathered in his mind, and he certainly banished all traces of it on his face as he made his way towards the trio.
"Welcome back." He offered everyone a large smile before dipping his head to the returning member. "Devland Taji. Nice to meet you...?" he trailed off, hoping the other would offer his name.
