Always there when you call

Tamsyn was anxious as she waited for Artorias' reaction and answer. She knew he had every right to deny her request for one reason or another and a small part of her expected him to, especially when he began by saying how he wasn't happy about her leaving home. When he sighed and started to talk about what would make her happy she realized that he was going to let her go and it was both such a relief and heart breaking at the same time. Seeing how it deflated him hurt and her ears flicked back when she saw her sweet boy going against everything that he instinctually wanted to do just so she could live this dream of seeing the world and raising the children that she would have with Kane. She knew how important it was to him to keep them all together, to hold them close, and it was one of the things she loved about her protective son. The fact that he was going to let her do this was no small thing and she could probably never thank him enough.

It was her turn to get up and go to where he was sitting, reaching up to wrap her forelegs around his neck and press a kiss to his cheek before she embraced him tightly. "I will always be here when you need me," she vowed, her voice breaking a little when tears started to sting at her eyes while her head leaned into his neck. "I don't care where I am in the world... if you send Corbin after me I will be here. If it would make you feel better you can consider me a member of The Hallows even if I'm not here all the time." She leaned back a little bit so she could give him a smile, sniffling a little as she blinked the tears from her eyes. Her paw rested on his cheek as she added, "I love you so much, my blueberry boy, and I always will. New adventures and new love will never change that." She hugged him tight again, their breakfast at least momentarily forgotten. She had lived so many lives in her life time... a young wolf trapped and beaten, a broken woman that struggled to find her way, a wife and mother, a widow, and now she'd be a mother again and she'd be the adventurer she'd always dreamed of being alongside the man that had made it all possible. She could never leave her other lives behind, but she couldn't stop growing and changing into new and different opportunities.
