Get Her Off His Mind

The young boy turned into her, putting his head on her chest, or as much as would fit these days, and loosely wrapped his paws around her pitifully. She knew he was hurting, having to watch his own mother die in front of him… Siren tried not to pity him, it wouldn’t help or change anything. The Queen did not rush the prince, even as he softly sighed and paused before he answered her. She knew too well the turmoil beneath. Her own parents leaving her so early in their lives… Siren banished the thoughts and just held tightly to Cerberus.

He did speak eventually, a soft sound of sorrow and confession to his yearning for Viper. Siren wrapped her delicate paws around his neck and held tightly to his shoulders as she comforted him quietly. There would never be relief for his pain, only time could lessen the ache.

Before she had an answer or word of encouragement he looked up at her with big baleful eyes. He looked so much like his father, and as much as she ever was, Siren felt overwhelming love for the young boy. As he asked if he could call her mother, her heart filled with love for him like her own son did. "Of course Cerberus.” She returned softly, dual toned gaze meeting his. "But I have a secret… I’ve thought of you as my son for a long time.” Siren admitted to him as she aimed to hug him tightly to her chest again.
