In the ring, Willow had watched the entire exchange in a separate space of the ring created by Little Eggie.
"Is anything the matter, Willow?" Vita looked at her in curiosity when she noticed the strange look on her face.
Hesitating, Willow shook her head slowly, "Nothing... I'm going to head outside... Once we return home in Anhui, I can let you out for a bit indoors."
"Okay!"
Willow spent the next few days studying medicine, alchemy, and embroidery. Very often, Vita would pull her out to make her play with the cub, and for a cub, she was growing very big to the point she was reaching Willow's waist, but still retained her dark brown streaks on her head and down her back. It wasn't long before Little Eggie came to find her and told her that Windy made it back home.
Willow left the ring and found herself in her room with Windy sighing a long breath of relief, "Man! That was terrifying!"
