The scent of The Typhoon on the air brought with it both joy, and pain. Joy, because Lovekit had begun to miss his old home, as well as the family that he had left behind. Pain, because Sam's death was still fresh on his mind, and he had started to make connections within Palmclan to fill the void. He almost didn't want to leave, even if he knew that he had to. As soon as he noticed the smell of his home coming from the border, the boy knew that his little "vacation" away from all of his worries was over. Palmclan had treated him well, and he was grateful to them, but everyone had to face the music sometime. He could only hope that Foamkit would show up to see him off, considering he didn't want to just leave one of the best friends he had made behind. Foam had already been distressed enough when Rhine was gone only temporarily, so how would he feel when Lovekit left to return back to The Typhoon? The thought made the hybrid shiver and frown, hastily pushing himself up to his paws and heading out of camp, towards the border.

It wasn't long until he spotted Rhine and Vaas, both of them engaged in discussion with his mother. The boy hesitated for a moment, steeling himself, before he came rushing up past Rhinestonestar. Lo practically threw himself into his mother's chest, a soft grunt leaving him as he sunk into the soft fluff of her neck. He muttered, leaning into his mother's comforting weight as he spoke, "Hey Mom... sorry I've been gone so long." He knew the length of time could've been much worse, but he could easily judge from the exhaustion on his mother's face that she had been worried sick. Swallowing thickly, Lovekit leaned back on his flank, gesturing a paw behind him, towards the rest of Palmclan's territory, "I... I found a new place. I'm sure Rhinestonestar already told you, but this is Palmclan. I thought if I made a big discovery like this... I thought that I could make you smile again." He neglected to mention his own need to run away, at least for the moment. He was pretty sure it was obvious how emotional he had been after Sam's funeral.
