Her ears perked when he spoke and her expression changed from friendly curiosity to confusion and considering when he called out to her with her mother's name. It made her look at him more closely and she was more and more certain that she had indeed met him at some point. It was driving her crazy that she couldn't place where she knew him from, even as he apologized for calling her by the wrong name and stating that she looked like someone he used to know. It made her heart ache to think of her mother even now after quite a bit of time had gone by since her passing and she wondered if that was a pain she'd ever actually get over. "No no, it's okay," she insisted as she made her way around the edge of the pool to approach him. As she got closer she was able to notice that their scents were similar - at least similar enough for her to connect the dots that they were related. "You weren't that far off," she explained as she settled onto her haunches near him. "Zuriel was my mother. I'm Daelos. I'm sorry, I just... I could swear that we've met before, but I just can't place your name. My younger years were a lifetime ago." She smiled as she tried to bring a bit of lightness and humor to her tone as she prepared herself to hear that they hadn't actually met and it had all just been a figment of her imagination. Even though it was a bit of an exaggeration to say that those days were an entirely different life from the one she was living now, it did feel that way sometimes. Leaving Boreas had completely changed her, but she was at least confident it had been for the better. |
