we all float on

She didn't want to say that it was comforting to hear that this disappearing act was something that Elias and his brother had done, but it was. It reinforced her idea that they had simply gone on some kind of adventure rather than something more sinister happening to them. She breathed a soft, relieved sigh at the idea even though she knew the possibilities were still wide open. Zuriel knew what he meant when he mentioned hoping that their sons hadn't inherited anything else from him, or at least she thought she did, and she wanted to tell him that they hadn't shown any of that instability. But the boys had been gone for a while now and they were still young so she didn't want to have false information or hopes. The good thing was that as long as they came home she could keep an eye out for it and help them sooner rather than later.

A surprising amount of disappointment tugged at her when Elias denied her offer of meeting the kids. She tried to avoid thinking about the fact that her children really hadn't had a father figure of any kind and it was possible at this point that they never would. She had loved her father dearly despite the fact that his blindness had kept him from participating in large chunks of their lives. She had actually grown closer to him after his maiming when he had decided to peruse healing for a time. Zuriel liked to think that she was doing well enough as a parent on her own, but she was nervous for the day that one of them might ask who their dad was. She would paint Elias in the best light for them if the day ever came, but she was sure it would be hard on them all the same.

Zuriel was greatful for the change of topic when Elias requested some information on an herb that might calm his mind. Her mind was like an encyclopedia as she ran through various herbs and plants she had run across in her life time. Her eyes drifted for a moment and her brows pulled together with thought. "Lavender could probably work... it is very calming. I just don't usually recommend taking it over long periods of time. I've heard it could be toxic if you do that." Her expression grew more thoughtful as she reached back in her memories. "Lady's Slipper can be used as a sedative in small doses, but I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for either. There was one herb... I can't remember the name of it... I've only seen it once when I was very young, but I seem to remember that it could help with anxiety and stress so that could be a possibility if I can ever find it again. I'd really like to learn more about it before I gave it to you though." She looked back up to his face while she wished to herself that she knew exactly what she could prescribe him. "There are so many herbs in the world with so many different uses that there has to be something that can help."

She nodded and smiled softly in agreement to his offer or perhaps request to help her track their sons down. She was moderately good at best when it came to tracking and hunting so she approciated the idea of having help. Maybe they could find him something to help with his instability in the mean time. She was surprised by the fact that she was happy to have a reason to spend more time with him. It was a tug of war between her common sense and her emotions when she looked at him, but it was a tug of war she was willing to fight.
