It was Spring Break and Quentin thought a good way to spend it would be in Fillory so he'd booked himself a trip through the transportation service and packed the few things he would need, including his crown. This time he decided to bring Nimue to show her where her daddy spent some of the best years of his life. Or should he call it his best life? Some days he thought one way some days he thought the other. No matter what, he had been his happiest there.

Having a crown still meant something, so he and Nimue were able to stay at Castle Whitespire, but he wanted to show her the cottage at the mosaic."I wonder if the cottage is even still there. The last thing I remember about that time was one of my grandkids had moved in with me. Teddy said it was so I could teach him magic, but I know he was there to keep an eye on me." He created a portal in his bedroom and walked through it, expecting to find the place he'd raised his little family. He stepped through it with the cat on her leash and looked around at the space.

"This is...not where I meant to be." Quentin was caught so off-guard by the unexpected landscape that he loosened his grip on Nimue's leash just enough for her to get away in her panic. He ran off after her, calling out her name. "Nimue! C'mon...I don't wanna get more lost than we already are!"

That damned cat! Not that he could really blame her. She was just a cat and she was in a completely foreign place that didn't even smell a little bit like home. In fact it smelled like...he couldn't place it but it was not entirely pleasant. Thankfully for the cat he had made sure to get her the kind of harnes that would snap off of her if she got caught somewhere. Which is how he knew she'd gone this way, but there was no telling where she was now. He stooped to pick it up and sighed. "Well, shit."
