"What?! You never told me you had a daughter!" Bella exclaimed. "Then again, I guess you didn't tell me a lot of things. Ah well."

"Yeah, I have a daughter. Her name's Traci. One of the nicest people I've ever known." He smiled at the thought, though it was quickly replaced by a small frown.
-
"Great! Then...oh." Bella stopped herself. "I...I guess that means you have to go back to the dojo then...right?" She asked Cannon. She looked glumly up at him as she did.
-
"It does." He sighed. "I'll be sure to visit, though. Maybe I'll be able to bring Traci along, bet you two would be great friends."
-
"You mean it, Can?" Bella asked the mando. "You wouldn't be the first person who said they'd be coming back to me Canny..."
-
"Hey..." Cannon crouched down so they were eye to eye and put his hand on her shoulder. "I promise you I'll come back to visit, and I allways keep my promises." He smiled at her.
-
Bella frowned for a moment, before her big smile crossed her face. "Hey, that's true!" She said happily. Then, a familiar voice spoke out. "Can! You're awake!" Said Ulfric as Can turned to see the purple cloaked Tokage leader.
-
He stood and smiled. "That I am. Glad to see the world didn't end while I was out." He joked.
-
"Ya, something weirder happened." Ulfric said as he nodded his head at the grenwalds around the town.
-
"Heh, yeah. I'm guessing you never expected this, did you?" He laughed.
-
"No! Not at all, actually!" Ulfric exclaimed as he looked around. He turned to Can, a grin on us face. "It's surprising what an outsiders perspective can do for everyone."
-
"I try my best to help where I can." Cannon shrugged, grinning. "How is everyone?"
-
"Settling in, mostly. There is some bad blood still but both Halt and I have decided that having our clans in the others camp could lead to improvements." Ulfric explained. "It'll take time...but things should improve. Likely."
-
"Glad to hear that. Youbdid the right thing, Ulfric."
-
"Yes...well, as of now that is." He said. "Now...I have to ask, how long are you saying Cannon? You are welcome to stay as long as you like."
-
"As much as I'd love to stay for a while, I have my own clan to get back to. My daughter hasn't heard from me since I arrived here, and probably misses me." He replied, smiling at the thought.
-
"Ah, yes. Then with that, I will have Yuri get you your supplies for your venture out of the forest." Ulfric said as he looked around. He spotted a cloaked figure who seemed to be sitting by a bush. "Hey! Yuri!" Ulfric called out. "Get Cannon's things then meet us at the entrance!" Yuri immediately took off from where he stood, and entered one of the nearby buildings. Ulfric chuckled as he looked at the sight.
-
"I think I may come back here some time, maybe bring my daughter. It's a beautiful forest and would make for one heck of a vaccation." Cannon commented.
-
"Yes! Absolutely! We would love to have you back Cannon!" "YA!" Bella said. Ulfric chuckled as he lead the mando and Bella towards the front gate, where Yuri swiftly ran out to meet them. He had a black bag with two string straps that attached to it, as well as a small package under his arm. "Heading out then, Can?" Yuri asked Cannon.
-
"Yeah. But I'll be back." He replied, grinning widely now.
-
"Oh! That's good to hear! Hopefully we'll be here at the same time then." Yuri told Can. "What do you mean, Yuri?" Ulfric asked. "Going somewhere?" "Well uh...ya. Actually. Was gunna talk to you about that. Since the war is over and all, I was hoping that I could leave the forest for a bit. See the world past the woods, that sort of thing. Is...that alright?" "Yuri, of course it's alright." Ulfric told Yuri. "In fact, that's a pretty good idea..."
-
"If you end up anywhere near the desert, try stopping by my clan village. It's in the south end of the canyon, I'd be happy to host you."
-
"What in the world is a desert?" Yuri asked Can with genuine curiosity. "You'll find out soon enough, Yuri!" Ulfric told him. "But, with that, its about time we said our farewells."
-
Cannon smiled, glancing at his friends as he took his bag from Yuri. He hadn't been able to call someone a friend in a while. "It's been nice getting to know all of you." He told them.
-
"And it has been my pleasure to host you, Cannon." Ulfric said as he offered his hand to Cannon. "You are a true friend, without you...I'm not sure what would have happened to us."
-
Cannon shook his hand firmly. "It was my pleasure, Ulfric. I'm glad I could help."
