I'm Sorry She Looks Like Me

When the door finally opened, Tamsyn had the reaction that Eska had anticipated. She could hear the woman's breath catch. The minty eyes in her scarred face widened for a moment and her jaw dropped. Eska's dark ears tucked back against her crown for a moment and she lowered her gaze, letting the obsidian woman work through whatever she needed to get through. In time, she had regained control, questioning Eska though her speech halted a few times.

"My name is Eska Datura Timber." She couldn't quite meet the fae's minted eyes knowing the pain that she was bringing to her. "I'm Resin's daughter." How uncomfortable. She continued after a moment. "I came looking for her, but I wasn't fast enough." That was a light way of putting it.

"Ulric has invited me to stay in The Hallows but it doesn't feel right accepting his offer without speaking to you first." In case you can't stand the sight of me, was what she left unsaid. Eska cleared her throat. She wasn't usually so awkward and at a loss for words, but this was a delicate situation. "I've met two of your sons. Good boys. I can see my mother in them. The stories that I've heard of her, anyway." Still just stringing out her words, Eska finally cut to the chase. "Tamsyn, I would very much like to stay and hopefully grow strong bonds with my mother's family, but I would like your blessing. If I'm too much of a reminder, too painful to look at..." She let her words trail off, giving her brindled skull a slight shake. Only then did she raise her mother's eyes to meet Tamsyn's mint colored gaze.
