If My Soul Could Sing

His good mood certainly hadn't lasted long. As soon as the words were out of her mouth she regretted them instantly as she watched his face fall. He looked so forlorn and sad and her sad frown deepened at it. "Bu' why can't you does it? My Ma lweft an' she might not evwen comes home! It's all my fwault, I not good enough to keep her heres. I no good, I gotta be better," Oh. It felt like her heart was breaking in two as she heard those words. He didn't feel good enough for his own mother. She knew they'd all miss her, but this was something else entirely. She let him snuggle into her fur and bury himself underneath him and she nuzzled him softly before trying to drape herself over him in a tight hug. She let him cry into her fur as she hugged him and she felt at a loss for words. She couldn't have kept Kavdaya going, she could have tried, but now she felt selfish for letting her go. She had kids to take care of and yet she was off with her own parents trying to track down the nomads. Would Regulus have been able to find them on their own? She knew Kavdaya needed to go, but it didn't stop her hurting for him any less. How could she explain this to him? She certainly didn't want to hurt his feelings anymore - not when he desperately needed someone to be there for him. So she pulled her head away from him and looked down. She wasn't their mother, she never would be, but she didn't like seeing him cry. She nuzzled her nose against his head once again before she went to work to lap at his tear streaked face. "Shhh." She murmured softly, trying her best to be soothing. "I'll tell you what. I'll be your mom just until your own gets back. She will be back though, I'm sure of it." She made sure not to promise it to him though. How could she promise him the safe return of Kavdaya? She wasn't master of the universe or else she would have, and yet she didn't want his disappointment to be worse if something really had happened to Regulus and Kavdaya along the way. No, this was the best she could do for Fable right now. Walk, "Talk" Think |
