Soleil's body had become more barrel shaped. No longer did she have a perfectly trim waist line like the child before her did. She had a mother's body and while she wasn't fat she was filled out. This didn't bother Soleil in the least. To begin with, she had always been modest and didn't see herself as really pretty. Honestly, Soleil didn't think of herself in regards to looks anyway. She had a brain and four functioning legs and that was good enough. Who had time for pretty?

?I'm alright, ma.? Solaine's smile lit up the world and Soleil had to step back for a moment to take in, and not for the first time, how similar they appeared. It was like gazing at her reflection only a younger version. The green eye was not her doing, though.

?How are you?? Soleil smiled lightly even if that light didn't reach her eyes. "Well enough." She said. It wasn't a lie but at the same time it was easier than letting the young gal know that was about stressed to capacity. ?What's going on with everyone?? The petite female sighed, looked down as she shook her head. When she lifted her head she gave her daughter a solid look, serious. "There is going to be a fight... a big one. Your father, brother, and sister will all be getting ready to fight. I will be helping the wounded. You and your sister are both too younger to be involved in this, you may be going to Seracia to stay with your aunt." There was no reason to hide it from her. Solaine would have to find out eventually and why not from her?
