It felt so good having physical contact with his mom. A soothing balm against the poison rotting away his insides. Rudy had to hope it helped mom feel better as it did him. It still hurt so bad inside but he could find more of his inner strength with talking and listening. Talking, sharing his mindset was one of his best talents after all. Rudy thought he’d have to remind mom that he wasn’t little anymore and he could protect her just fine but after her initial comment, she acknowledged his ability, and his siblings. The boy’s tail gave a weak wag at her pressing his leg. Even found it in him to offer a weak little smirk at the later comment, “Oh, I still have plenty of energy, and if you like it a lot I can go find more trouble I bet.” Light jokes. His heart might not fully be in it but he knew it didn’t matter the words too much right now. This was about trying to help his mom feel better. Gwyn would help mom with the physical pain, Rudy was no good with that but he would try to help the pain inside. “Mom,” a moment's pause, “It hurts,” he had wanted to remain strong but the words came out in a moment of honesty. At this point, he caved in to change from sitting to just laying down next to her, careful as he lay his body up against hers. Even as he was about to ask her what he should do next a few things came to his mind. The first was to go see Art. Rudy needed to make sure Art didn’t hate him before he could move ahead further. It was impossible to handle the pain of letting Resin go but if he had to add in losing his strong bond with Art, well, it would just be too much. "Rudyard"
