You're The Only Light

A small frown pulled at her lips at Balthier's less than confident reply about the possibility of their mother actually coming to join them. She couldn't blame him though. She didn't really quite believe it would be true either. In all the time since her mother left and her pack moved further away she had never come to see them. Or at the very least she hadn't seen her. She didn't really know what happened outside of this den, but surely if she had come to visit they would have at least told her, right? She hadn't just been avoiding her specifically had she? As much as Azzurra wanted to believe that their mother would come back to them it was getting harder and harder to have faith.
Her ears flicked uncertainly when Balthier mentioned how it had been a while since she had seen their mother, nodded quietly in agreement. More than a while. She sighed and tucked her head into her brother's chest, enjoying the warmth of him and letting it chase away her doubts and hurt. They still had each other and their dad so it couldn't be all bad. Plus she felt like she was starting to get a little better so that had to be worth something. She didn't want to feel so put out over a woman that she hardly knew, but somehow it didn't matter how much she tried to ignore it. She just couldn't. She let her eyes close as sleepiness started to creep up on her. Between being wrapped up in Balthier's embrace and her own lack of any kind of stamina sleep was hard to fight off.
"You're not gonna leave, right, Balthier?" she asked softly, hovering somewhere between being awake and sleep. "When we're adults, you don't leave, right? If you do will you take me with you?"
