all things are possible
even the worst of things
even the worst of things
He can feel his hope begin to shrivel with every second she stares at him with that cold, distant gaze. He had come here confident in his ability to charm his mother from her anger, but at her continued reticence, he becomes less and less sure. So when her expression finally slips, to be replaced by the affection he had become familiar with as a boy, his relief is nearly palpable. As she bumps his jaw, he lets out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding. It is then that he realizes how much he has missed her: the fierce but loving mother who had given him life. Stepping into her, he presses his check against her neck, giving her a very equine hug.
With a hint of the happy smile still teasing the corners of his lips, he steps back. He contemplates her question for a long moment, wondering how best to tell her who, and where, he had been visiting. In the end, he decides it is simply best to have it all out in the open.
I’ve been to the Meadow. And the Valley. Made a few new friends. One of them is Librette. She said you’ve met.
He watches her closely, unsure of what her reaction might be. He had deliberately left his words to hang, wishing to see what she would make of them. He has been a wanderer for some time now, but he is ready to settle down. He knows of Librette’s desire is to have him join the Valley, but he cannot give her an answer until he has settled a few matters first. At one point in time, he had been fully committed to serving the Amazons in whatever way he could, but he has learned much about himself while he has been away. He is no longer certain he could be completely happy in eternal servitude. But still, he needs to know what, and how much, he will be giving up if he were to join the Valley’s ranks.
As he studies her, he suddenly notes her swollen sides. A grin splits his features as he shifts forward and nudges her expanding sides. It seems everyone lately is having babies and forgetting to tell him. He knows of Ea, of course, and hopes he has the opportunity to meet her very soon. As well as the new brother or sister he is about to get.
Ma! You didn’t tell me you were pregnant! By the way, how’s my little sister doing?
