family picnic

Eris turned and offered her band mate a warm smile. It didn't quite reach her eyes. Kindle had missed plenty - including the death of her other son. The Ademre woman fidgeted nervously. It wouldn't be appropriate to share the news outright, but she had taken a personal vow of silence since his death anyway... it wasn't like she could communicate with words even if she'd felt the need to. Eris simply tapped agreement, love on Kindle's paw and hoped that response would satisfy her. With Casper's tiny stature and the way he kept glancing at his mother for approval, it was impossible to mistake him for anyone else's child. He belonged to her. They were kin.

She peered up at Kindle with a question in her eyes. Where had she been these past few lonely months? There wasn't quite Ademic for the specific questions that Eris wanted to ask and so they lapsed into a comfortable silence. Eris had always been bubbly and talkative before her son's passing. While this behavior might be typical for some Ademre, it was obviously off key for the petite female.
