Hey.. mom i'm home yeah? You still in bed? Look... *as he's setting a bowl down in the common room* I brought ya breakfast. *places his hand on her door* Mom? Come on... please come out...
*Slowly she opens the door and looks at him. Her face worn and tired. She's getting better. it's just taking longer than they had anticipated. And seemed confused at first* Araavos?.
Oh... Oh Nio.. My Son.. I... It happened again.. Didn't it... I'm sorry.. *Looking at the bowl. and hesitantly taking it. She'skept herself locked away from him in fear of passing the sickness onto him. as they aren't entirely sure just how contagious it is but. know it typically passes within a few weeks and is best the effected keep Quarantined until then*
*Watches him go. a ache and longing in her heart to Hold her son. But knows for now. it's safer not to. and disappears slowly back into her room. the door shutting behind her*
sorta? I dunno. I'm pretty popular. But I know I'm different. I just don know why. Or... how if I'm being honest. I mean besides looks of course. But hey, the looks ain't so bad if I be getting all the attention eh?
Okay.... follow up question.... ever had strange things happen?.... like magic related?.... or chaotic occurances whenever you were....upset?....angry, even?
hey what I do to you eh? We welcome you and you pretend to know my father? This a prank. Did Uri do this? Hey tell him I'm sorry his tummy hurts but this is not cool mon.
Please understand, there is no motive for deception. You and Twyla reached out because you needed my assistance... that fact alone should speak to my commitment... What reason would I have to lie right now?.... If getting answers is what you want, I can arrange for him to come here quick fast and in a hurry... Please....
his voice was stern, firm even. A drastic change from the easy going carefree spirit the night before. A nerve was just stuck. She could feel it. And his mother. She could hear it.
*Uses wifelink: "Araavos... I need you.... fast..."* I told you I am a traveler.... I told you I know those outsiders.... I told you you looked familiar.... What more proof do you need that I'm telling the truth?.... You want me to summon him? I will. Can't garrauntee he'll be upset with me, but It's possible!
That's absurd. Nobody knows your father. nobody could possibly. Especially not a Fairy. For he was not their people. he didn't seem to be entirely ours either... What is the meaning of this? *Starting to step out of the room. but rethinking it and only keeping her head out*(edited)
*flies in front of her and shows her collar* Look. His symbol. If you were with him you would have seen it it's on his tattoos, please, you have to remember.....
*Backs away immediately. her feathers ruffling* Get away from me! I could get you sick. And how dare you invade our space and start making such claims. and not leaving when asked? Get out now while i have patience or i will have to call the rest of the tribe....
19:51
You will not speak to me or my son of this again. That name is to never cross your tongue near us.
.....*deep sigh*....Okay, I understand. I'm sorry.... I got a bit carried away...But I am telling the truth.... Also, remember, I'm here because you asked for my help, Nio. When you feel ready for the full truth, my door is open for you.....(edited)
Hey well I didn't ask for your help okay. That was Twyla's idea, I just went along with it. I didn't know you would use it like that against me yeah? Go on, get outta here... You've done enough.
That's Ridiculous... I'm glad she is gone.... She is no longer allowed in here and she is never to bring up your father again. even if she does know him... even if she has found him somewhere.. seen him... I do not want him here. I could not bear to see him again. I see him in you enough.. and i remember the things i once felt for him. and thought he felt for me. But he gave me you and that to me is a blessing. I loved you just the same, Despite bringing you up alone.... *Coughs. her voice becoming raspy the more she talks* You grew up... Without him... I raised you without him... We're... Better off that way.(edited)
Hey hey hey... *kneeling down, helping her sit on the bed* you did an amazing job mom. I know it wasn't easy, I know I be a pain in da tailfeather sometimes. And I know we don be needing him, but there's something different about me, I don't mean da looks mom. I just need to know why i'm different...
Even i don't know my son.. And please be careful touching me. i don want to get ya sick too.. It's my fault i had to raise you alone. I realized too late that what i thought i wanted wasn't what i needed. I ended up... wanting more.. but he was gone before i could tell him... Yet part of me had secretly hoped he'd stay. that i could tell him. But i know he only did what i asked of him before... Maybe i've no right to hate him. But i do.. just not as much as i hate myself for falling in love with him that night.
20:19
*Wipes the tears that began to fill her eyes* Enough about that... Have you eaten yet yourself?... That food could not have just been made for me surely.
No. You've not been sick. But that does not surprise me. i already knew.. your father was special. and you having so many of his attributes i just assumed you also had his heightened immune system..(edited)
20:23
I remember when ya first tried to fly and ended up breaking your leg trying to land.. You healed up much quicker than any other nestling i've seen.
Alright son.. just... please don't let it eat at ya.. I wanted you to live at least a somewhat normal, peaceful life.. I had hoped to avoid this... and please do get yourself some tea also. I can see your feathers be just as ruffled from your tense muscles.
Yeah, okay.... *goes to start boiling some water, out of her eyesight when he gets an idea... he plucks a couple of his feathers, ones she wouldn't notice and puts them in the pot*
*She smiled at him* Thank you.. you've become such a fine man.. I'm very proud to be your mother.. *She said before taking a sip. And sighing softly as she feels it's warmth slip down her throat*
Not really, why? You be wanting a grandkid now? Am I still not enough chaos for you mother? Heh, but no, not really..
20:55
They do keep trying though... But hey, you know there's only one girl in my life eh? *he says nudging her with his elbow as he collects their cups to go rinse them off*
You know it's always been a hope and dream of mine to see you happy with a lovely lady an family of your own.. for you to not Be alone the rest of your life. And like you've just said. Plenty of the dames here are all over ya. You're one of them as far as they're all concerned and I couldn't have hoped for anything better.
20:57
Though I will admit yes I've been happy as the only woman in your life. But that's just me wanting ya safe and cared for. But I may not always be around for that son. And I Don't want to leave this world knowing you've got nobody.
Yeah, well life just gon have to wait it's turn then.... I'm not done with you yet. I still need ya. You're me mom. I don be caring bout no life be wanting ya just yet.(edited)
Thank you. Stay as long as ya would like *She said before shutting the door behind her. And promptly going to collapse onto her bed. Exhausted from all of that*
