Darker in the light of day

She could see Pegasus deflate a bit at her firm words and in a way she felt bad for crushing his enthusiasm, but she knew it was better than letting them run off to their deaths. She had spent the time since Ganta's murder and her reunion with her children hiding them away from the world and hoping that the shadows she kept them in would prevent any more harm from finding them. That was unrealistic. She knew that. Something about her family attracted bad luck and there was little she could do about that besides making sure they were ready for whatever came their way. She was confident that Ulric and Philomena both could handle themselves now, but it still scared her to think about them going into any kind of danger.

She nodded to confirm Ulric's instruction about where they would be staying even though her eyes never left Pegasus. She sighed softly and pulled a small smile onto her lips. "Thank you." She paused for a moment and smiled a little more. "You really remind me of Yale. I'll never forget how he darted off in search of Philomena the moment he heard that she was missing. I always admired his determination. Just keep yourself out of trouble so I can see you grow up to be just like him." She took a step toward him to gently nudge his chin up with her nose, adding, "And keep your head up. A battle well planned is a battle won. When you rush blindly into something is when tragedy happens... That's how I lost my Ganta." She gave him one last smile before she turned around and walked off toward the mangroves. Her smile faded as she walked into the trees, but she made sure Pegasus didn't see the weight settle onto her shoulders.
