One foot on the narrow way , and one foot on the ledge

He hadn't wanted to open wounds, he hadn't wanted to remind Voltage of his daughter, for Glacier's own children to stand as a reminder. Perhaps that was why he had told his brother in this way, walking them down memorylane and letting out everything that had worried him, not just the arrival of his children but also his concerns and love for Voltage, and everything he felt about the strong, independent woman Illume had been becoming. How could he have worried? Voltage, who felt everything, had room for joy in this moment as well as everything else. There was no regret, or envy, in his eyes when he raised them again to Glacier's, there was nothing but joy and love. “Come here, you” Glacier said, chuckling softly as he batted Voltage's shoulder with his paw, his voice a little gruff, emotional, for the old giant.

He paused a moment before he answered, smiling at Voltage's observation. “A few days, I needed to process it first” he admitted, he needed to wrap his head around the changed future, the joy and love and commitment, and how to tell Voltage without bringing down the last of his brothers world. Of course, silly Glacier, he hadn't needed to fear for his brothers reaction – Voltage loved him every bit as ferioucly as Glacier loved him. “We have been through so much, have so much history and experience, but even all that dosen't really prepare you” he said softly, his smile a whisper of remembreance, love for Voltage, and Anais, and little lives he was yet to meet. “Will you accept being their god father? Teach them what it means to be a part of this family?” he asked softly, he did not want to ask too much of Voltage, yet, he felt perhaps they both needed this.
