Don't Fade Away

Though he had not found his mother Alfred was glad for one thing; being home. The boy’s blue eyes were thoughtful as he rested among the hot springs, getting warm from the steam they gave off. A boon in winter, so long as you didn’t accidentally fall in!  Not that it was too cold yet; the season started off quite mildly; thank goodness! Alfred glanced towards the steamy water, wondering if his mother and Korrin had once liked this place. What they would think of it...

But while it might be expected for Alfred to be sad he wasn’t as sad as he was when he first started to look for Svetlana a while back. He had come to accept his mother, for whatever reason, wasn’t coming home. So instead of whining and begging for her return he’d made the decision to bond further with the family he still had; his brother, sisters, and father.

Slowly the boy set his head upon his paws, deep in thought as he thought of the other members of their family. Perhaps he could give them a visit too?
