She never thought much of her other mother any more, the one that really birthed her and had abandoned her. No, Eira was her mom and Weir her papa. They had been since that very first day and instead of a lonely life, she was living a life of her dreams (well living one that she didn't even know she wanted). Lots of siblings, a mom and dad that loved one another and if there were odd things that happened...oh well. That was her life and she loved every minute of it.
Papa always brought a smile to her face. But it was these moments when they all managed to gather that really brought comfort to her. Her heart fell so full when she sees tiny little Lumi and when even her big sister Neva appears. This was her family, even if they would not always be together or would grow out and wander....this was hers. This would always be here.
"Hi Lumi." She says, stretching her lips out to touch the little fuzzy head of her sister. Another girl. Mom and Papa sure had a lot of girls. Rowling was the only boy so far. But she smiles anyways, because she is happy and then she goes to Neva and touches her lips to her sister's cheek. "Neva." She says on a breath and doesn't quite miss the look that she gives to their parents. A sigh escapes her mouth as she quiets, allowing Papa and the twins to get a good look at Lumi. Neva would be wandering and gone soon. Graeme remembered that look, the look of being time to go and only lingering to just make sure....
Yes, Graeme knew that look.
But she waits, putting a smile on her face as she goes to twins and tugs their manes. "Hide and seek, brats?" She says with a smile. "Lumi you can hide with me if you want to." She attempts to maneuver the younger kids away from Neva and their parents so that they can have a moment alone if they need it. She catches Neva's gaze and smiles sadly for a moment. Only a moment before she brightens back up for the younger ones. "I'll count first with Lumi if she wants and you two can hide. That okay?"
