Had Lykos heard his mother's thoughts, he'd most certainly agree that she was overthinking it. After all, how could she have been a better mother? He couldn't think of anything, and he actually did pause to think of something... but nothing really stood out to him. Sure, she made small mistakes but nothing really that big? Nothing he could think of, anyways. He let her be affectionate towards him, leaning into her motherly touch, and he laid his head gently on the back of her neck. She was one of the few he'd be affectionate with, really; he just wasn't a fan of it. But, she was his mother and was an exception. "Well, don't worry about it," he said firmly, leaving no room for questions. "The family wouldn't split apart, even if some of us choose separate paths." Like he himself was considering.
Oh, well, shit. As she stepped back and spoke once more, his ears flicked back slightly. Well, seems like she did have things she had to talk about - not just spending time without serious things together. Well, then. It was too late to backpedal, so he had to continue. He sighed, super quietly. "Vereux." His voice was flat, a lot more so than he anticipated. "I learned much about him from a very respectable woman named Katja. What I was told is very concerning." His blue eyes were piercing as he stared at his mother, leaving it open for her to decline the knowledge he sought to give. He wasn't certain what he'd do if he did, but he left it open.
