Léan tapped Lleu on the shoulder. "I'm sure you knew we were coming. Do you have any idea where my parents are?" he asked, not wanting to beat around the bush.

Lleu was, of course, not startled by their appearance. "I believe the two of them are lingering somewhere around Utzi."

"Can you give us anything more specific than that?" Glory asked. "Or should we go and start looking?"

"They are by a rock that sculptors in the city have used as their own personal canvas...it is the shape of the crescent moon," Lleu hummed, as he plucked some more coral up.

Léan nodded, suddenly seeming nervous.

"Alright," Glory said. "Thanks." She took Léan's hand gently. "Come on," she said softly to him.

Léan shifted slightly, glancing up at her fretfully. "Will you help me talk to them?" he asked, sheepishly. "I would feel awkward talking to them on my own..."

"Of course," Glory replied. "I won't make you do it alone." Leaning over, she gave him a kiss.

Léan smiled, still looking terribly nervous, and began to slowly circle the outside of Utzi. He wasn't sure where this moon-shaped rock would be.

Glory stayed close, still holding his hand. She had no idea where to find it, either, but she kept watch for it.

Léan stopped in his tracks after a few minutes, squinting into the distance. "...Is that it?" he asked. There was a rock in the distance that looked like it fit the description.

Glory followed his gaze and saw it.

"It might be," she said, squinting a little. "We can go look."

Léan squinted a bit, as well. "...All right, then...let's go and check." He headed in the direction of the rock. It did not take him long to recognize the scent of his father. He wasn't familiar with his mother's scent, but Betelgeuse's scent was something that struck fear in him. He stopped where he was. "...He is there. I can't tell if she's there..." he murmured, fearfully. If Honeydew wasn't there, he knew he wanted to leave.

"Come on," Glory said softly. She squeezed his hand gently. "It'll be alright." She would be right next to him the whole time.

Léan sighed and moved forward again. He peered around the rock.

Both Betelgeuse and Honeydew were there. Betelgeuse was asleep, thankfully...Honeydew was finishing up a fish she had just caught for herself. She was an intimidating mermaid to look at, with strong eyes and wild black hair.

Glory nudged Léan forward a little.

"Go on," she murmured to him.

Léan responded by hiding more behind the rock, having taken more notice of the sleeping Betelgeuse than of Honeydew. His nerve was lost and was probably going to stay lost...unless they could perhaps lure Honeydew away from Betelgeuse for a bit.

"Come on, you can talk to her," Glory wheedled. "I'll be right here with you." She sighed. "Unless you want me to go and talk to her first."

Léan scowled. "...Perhaps if we can get her away from him?" he suggested, nodding towards Betelgeuse. "He won't care about the news...she will...plus, Arcturus knows she's here but hasn't seen her yet..."

Glory thought for a moment.

"I'm going to talk to her," she said. "I'll see what I can do." She gave him a kiss, and then went closer to Honeydew.

"You're looking much better than the last time I saw you," she said.

Honeydew jumped, surprised. She seemed to have gained a lot of her lost weight back and was now at a healthy body weight. She also seemed stronger. Betelgeuse stirred from where he was tightly curled up but did not wake.

"Hello, there...what brings you here?"

"Well..." Glory started. She thought about how to phrase it for a moment. "We thought you would want to hear the good news."

Honeydew nibbled on the last piece of her fish and then slid off of the rock she was resting on. "If it's going to make me excited, perhaps we should go somewhere else. I don't want to wake him up--he hasn't slept in days, and he just fell asleep..."

"That sounds like a good idea," Glory agreed. "I'm fairly sure you'll like the news."

Honeydew swam out behind the rock and was surprised to nearly bump into Léan there. She paused and then wrapped her arms around him in a hug.

Léan's arms shook a bit, but he leaned on her, looking like he felt awkward.

Glory backed off respectfully, letting the two have space. She wouldn't get in the way.

The two of them remained this way for a few minutes before Honeydew kindly broke the hug, seeing that Léan was still not used to her. "All right...you said you had news?" she seemed suspicious.
