Listening to Kaizer talk about her life before she came to Boreas and how her family had lived together there was wonderful. She loved how they had viewed birth as so incredibly special because she had always felt that way as well. They may be far more common around here than they had been in this desert landscape that Kaizer described, but that didn't mean they weren't any less precious in her mind. She was happy that Heather had gotten the chance to live in a place where she had been welcomed and loved and had gotten the chance to be a mother. Having children had always felt like one of Roza's biggest joys and she always wished that anyone else that wanted that to be a part of their life was able to experience it. She smiled and gave small nods occasionally while her niece spoke, focused completely on Kaizer and the stories she was telling. Even though she would never get the chance to see Heather again, it warmed her heart so much just to have these little pieces of information about her life and be able to get to know her children. "That's wonderful," she replied with a wistful smile as Kaizer's story came to an end. Her mentioning Fiori and Leo made a small pang of longing settle in her chest and her gaze drifted with a soft sigh. "I do miss those days. My father led Fiori for a very long time and I always looked up to him. I miss him a lot... But, if I'm being honest, I miss a lot of things and a lot of wolves. There's been a lot of loss in my life... a lot of things I wish I could get back. But... I'm glad to have my children, my grandchildren, and now you and your siblings... Things could be better, but they could also certainly be a lot worse." Roza smiled a little more genuinely as she refocused her gaze on Kaizer once again, her tail wagging gently behind her. "I guess when you get to be my age you start to savor the current moment a bit more and try to stop dwelling on the past so much. There are some things I love to think about and remember, but I want to make the most of what time is left too." |
