He blinked at the unexpected compliment that was tossed his way, and honestly he was touched. He had no idea that Qualm had felt that way, and it warmed his old bones. The smile on his lips was true and genuine, and he leaned to touch his nose to the boy's cheek, pausing there for a moment. "That means the world to me, Qualm. From what Karabela told me, she will be settling nearby. I will be sure to come and check in on you. And Qualm," he said, pulling back and meeting his eyes. "I'm proud of you, for coming to me and for finding your own way. A life is not a life if it's not lived, and it takes a lot of courage to leave your comfort zone. I wish you nothing but luck in your future endeavors," he said softly, nodding a bit in encouragement. But then the conversation took an unexpected turn, the slate man apologizing for his parents. Bass' lips turned down in a frown as he rocked back down on his haunches. His golden eyes glinted with a bit of hardness, a small growl bubbling up in his throat. "Don't you ever try to take blame for what your parents have done. It was not your fault, nor your place to apologize for. Their actions are just that, their own. You have nothing to be sorry for, while it was crappy while it happened, it's the past now. Go on and make your own future, kid." "SPEAK ITALIAN" |
