  Briefly the man saw a hint of something on his daughters face, but it passed before he could decipher it. His chin rose slightly in question, but he didn't voice it. He did let out a half-hearted chuckle when the Italian threw her off, had it been that long since she had used it? He waited patiently as she plucked apart his words, seemingly trying to find her own voice. The first sentence was jarring and rough, but soon she fell into the language with practiced ease. He relaxed slightly at that, but it didn't last long. The more she spoke, the more concerned his features became. Brows pulled together as he leaned down to lap at the top of her head as she nipped him, glad she was still affectionate towards him. He was his only child that seemed to resent Abaven in some way or form. He just wished that he could tell her once again how this was for them, but she just didn't understand. That was okay, he couldn't force her to see the world through his eyes. But being lost inside yourself... well that was a feeling that Bass knew well. He had been like that since Wren had started to leave them, feeling like she had taken a part of him with her. Bass knew that it affected the children as well, how could it not? Sighing softly, he leaned into the brown and white girl as he let the silence spread between them for a few moments. It wasn't something that was easy to explain, it was more something that she had to figure out by herself. He could go on for hours about how he had 'fixed' himself, but the truth was that he didn't. He had ignored it until it all came bursting out of him, and now it just made him feel older than he was. "Non è proprio una cosa che posso aiutare con, Sparrow. Mi auguro che ho potuto dare tutte le risposte, ma ..." he paused, turning his golden eyes down towards her. "E 'davvero qualcosa che si deve fare da soli. Devi trovare la definizione di te stesso e non lasciare che gli altri cercano di farlo per voi. So che può sembrare facile ma non è davvero chi sei. Questo è qualcosa che solo si può scoprire." The older man shrugged his shoulders with a soft, breathy laugh. He wished that he held all the answers, that he could just say one word and magically fix anything that his kids were going through. But he couldn't, he couldn't hold their paws through their whole lives. "SPEAK" -- "SPEAK ITALIAN" |
