Lepis is quiet for a long moment, taking in the still familiar lines of her mother's face. Heda has not aged a day, the dun mare sees, her immortality a perpetual defense against age. It does not occur to her that Heda might worry what Lepis thinks of her. Heda will forever be the best mother that Lepis has ever known, even if she was the only one. Her memories of her own childhood are bright ones.
The misfortunes in Lepis' life of entirely her own making, after all. They aren't Heda's responsibility.
"I missed you too," Lepis says, and takes a step forward to press her cheek briefly against Heda's. The full answer to how she has been would take hours, and Lepis is not eager to do so here in a land so infested by the Plague.
"What if I tell you on the way back to the Brilliant Pampas?" She asks. "The place is free of plague and we have a healer there if you are sick." The buckskin pegasus does not look ill, but the symptoms can be tricky, Lepis knows.
"This will be your second grandchild," Lepis adds with a soft smile. "My oldest, Pteron, is with my husband Wolfbane, back home."
