Epiphron was always happy to see her children. She wished the few that she hadn't seen in such a long time might someday appear again, but she knew wishing for things that might never come wasn't something worth spending much thought on. Their paths had clearly taken them elsewhere - she was grateful though that some of her children had remained. It meant a lot that Leo had taken to heart what she'd taught him about family. Family was important; at least those that were loyal, and she was grateful her son had not forgotten that. Her smile grew at his words, nodding in agreement. "Nor am I," Epiphron agreed readily. She had never been a huge fan of the cold, and was grateful her children hadn't decided to move north. The warmer lands here agreed with her much better, but fall had always been the most pleasant of all the seasons. This one was proving to be particularly mild, the summer heat seeming to cling on for as long as it possibly could, and for that she was thankful. His apology brought a soft chuckle from her throat. "I'm just glad you're around at all, my son," she dismissed his words with a shake of her muzzle. She didn't expect to see him every day, or even every week if he proved busy. Socializing was only one small aspect of existence. Truthfully she saw so few of her children that she was glad that Leo and Amalia were a constant presence in her life, however scarce they might be. She always knew where to find them. "I've been doing well. What about you, hm?" It'd been awhile now since the loss of his mate, and she hoped he was faring well. Epiphron knew even time couldn't ever fully heal those wounds, even if they did make things easier. |
