we all float on

A heavy guilt settled down on her the moment that Elias stopped in his tracks and she saw the stone cold expression on his face. Her ears flicked back as she turned to face him, her mouth opening to speak, but nothing came out. What could she say? She wanted to insist that she knew he wouldn't hurt them, that she trusted him, but did she really? She couldn't say those things when she had wondered if he had done something to them and when she had considered turning around and leaving this island when she saw him. "I didn't think you would have gone looking for them," she replied once she figured out a truthful way to put what she wanted to say. "I just... I'm sorry. I don't know what I thought." She sighed and glanced away from him, her ears flattened back against her head. "Miach and Kane are missing and I guess my imagination just got away from me. I'm sure they're just being adventurous boys and they're fine, I'm just... I'm really worried about them." As Zuriel was speaking she realized all the sudden that she hadn't seen Elias since before she gave birth to them so he wouldn't know what she had named them or even how many children they had. Her eyes flew back up to his own with an indescribable feeling. It was some strange, unexpected mix of guilt and joy. Guilty for not finding him to share that information before now and joy because she finally could. "There's three of them," she said with a soft smile, her expression growing wistful and loving as she described them. "Two boys and a girl. Daelos is the girl and already loves herbs maybe even more than I do. Miach and Kane are the boys. Both of them got your height and your eyes." Her focus returned to Elias' face, pausing before she added. "I want you to meet them... if you want to. They'll be a year old this spring." |
