Wish It Were a Dream

Zuriel blinked with genuine surprise at the fact that Ignis didn't seem to know about Casso's fate. Casso of course wouldn't know what happened after his passing so she supposed it made sense that Ignis had never actually found Casso's body—as heart wrenching as that was for her to think. She was quiet while Ignis spoke, a concerned frown pulling at her lips as he spoke of his failures, of how he had made Acere suffer. Her ears flicked with worry and sympathy. There was so much of his father that she saw in him—the moments of clarity that she had seen in Elias that had ultimately won her heart over to loving him deeply and truly. It had not been a healthy relationship by any stretch of the imagination, but it had been a relationship none of the less and she still harbored a guilt over the fact that she hadn't been strong enough to stick it out for her children that had remained with him when things reached their worst.

"My darling..." she said softly, reaching one of her paws up to his cheek, the faint hint of her touch lingering over the scars that ran across his face. "No one can be perfect. Everyone has failures and regrets. If you live long enough you will have many of both. I know I certainly do." Letting her paw drop back down to hold his again she tried to give him an encouraging smile. "It's never too late to make things right if you really want to. But if you hold on to your hurt and your regrets it'll be impossible to do. Look at what you've done and experienced and learn from it." She sighed softly and gave his larger paw a gentle squeeze. "Promise me? Just do what you can, darling. You'll always have me behind you."
