oh baby, I have not been kind

Dad! he called to him, his voice tight with stress. He couldn't bear where Dad's thoughts had gone, the way he'd watched Woolf's fire with too much interest before it was snuffed out. Dad, please.. Just come with me. He threw a worried glance at Mom too. They both seemed to wilt together and it made his heart ache.

Mom was always miserable, but he'd never had to worry about Dad like this.

He tugged on his hand more, more insistent, needing him away from here. His wings flexed anxiously, fluttering with dismay. Was Dad only just now realizing why Mom acted the way she did? He hadn't known? Dad nodded at him, followed him away without a backwards glance at Mom and her friend. Good. That was good. Walking was good.

Come on, Dad. Let's get you a drink. Let's go somewhere to talk. Talk it out to me. Please.

He wanted to understand better, to be welcomed deeper into Dad's thoughts and feelings. He wanted to help, if he could. Mom was loud with her thoughts, not boxed up and buried deep like Dad no matter how she tried to. She just didn't have the power to, her thoughts broadcasted to anyone with abilities like his.

I love you. Let me help.

I wish I could scrape away the dirt that's on my mind
