Pointing Blame

*Aranea* · 03-02-2021, 11:45 AM

Surely Ulric had more bad days than good, but while caught in the moment he seemed to try and flip a coin on his outward emotion, at least at first. Aranea wouldn't call him out on the behavior, everyone coped in different ways.

Aranea would just remain behind him as he took a moment to gather his thoughts. And she would listen to the detail he gave her. "I wish I had good advice to give you, but I'm sad to say I can't entirely relate." It was true, while Ulric had numerous children to look after, Aranea was left with one when Tyranis abandoned her and she was emotionally absent to know or see how the loss of her father affected Nuada. "If it were me though, it seems he may need to sort some things out on his own. As hard as that would be while you are his father." It was the truth that being a parent and watching your child suffer through even the same situation with you, but with a different meaning. A mate to a mate and a son to a mother. And all a parent could ask for and strive to do was make their children happy. "Maybe getting some of Tamsyn's children to help him train may help him better? I feel like having a friend his age at least couldn't hurt, even if he wouldn't like the idea at first."

Aside from the thoughts of Ulric's son, he seemed to speak of something that troubled Aranea. "But Ulric, I hope you do not believe him. I hope you do not think that it is your fault Azariah has left." Though Aranea still couldn't know the logistics of their relationship, Ulric seemed far from an abusive man or someone to push his mate away. Whatever had been going on, it seemed that he wasn't a villain to the story. "As much as it may hurt to feel, Azariah didn't only leave you, she left behind her other three children. And to me that makes it seem like she had other things on her mind and not leaving because you were an awful man to her. I would have a hard time believing her if she came back bellowing you as a villain." Perhaps a genuine compliment, but if anything Aranea was just trying to get Ulric to feel better closer to his heart. But she still knew that the treachery of losing his mate would be harder to surpass than being told he was better than that.
