As Dhaos is getting used to being sent back and forth between home and mysterious villages/castles/what have you, so Grune is getting used to only seeing her boyfriend every so often.

What she isn't getting used to, though, and never will, is the joy that springs up in her every time she finds him.

"Dhaos! Over here!" she calls as she hurries right toward him, ready to give him a big hug.
