Star Light, Star Bright
Riv had to think it through, a moment of silence before he fitted pieces of this puzzle together. "I guess the question would be what do you want to do?" he started. "If sonticus is your family, then stay here." He knew that wasn't much to go off of at first but the boy would sigh, his head hanging low for a moment before he raised it back up. "It would hurt me to see this man break your heart, but pain is a part of our lives. I'm young but I've seen it over and over again with my mom. It's almost like the gods yelling in our faces that we're alive. I haven't met anyone whose changed my life, I haven't been at a lowest point. But he way I see it, you like it here. Newol made a fatal mistake by taking you for granted. He's been away for so long that maybe he's forgotten about your feelings. You may care for him deeply Avalon, I know you do, but you also need to think about your feelings as well." his eyes strained. "Surreal also has a husband so I don't know what Newol's trying to pull." Riv would press his nose into Avalon's chest, the lower portion that he could reach. "You're going to cry, and you're going to cry a lot. Be brave enough to ask him, expect the worst but hope for the best. In the end we can't control each other, just our own thoughts. But if anything. Sonticus IS your family. I wouldn't trade the world for you. If I could I'd take all of your pain away and only time can do that." Riv smiled. "If you want to stay here, then I want you here." his tail wagged back and forth. "Excuse my language but Newol can suck a stick if he's gonna hinder your happiness."
