What a Day!

She was a bit shy, a trait he quite admired after living for so long with two very head strong women in his life. But whatever pleasure he got from seeing the reaction his words got was quickly squashed as he heard the disheartened tone in her voice as she spoke about his childhood. Did she not have parents who were around much? She seemed to answer the question in his mind and he felt his heart breaking. "My father wasn't part of my life either, but I'm sure your parents care deeply for you. Sometimes grown up things just get in the way..." He wanted so badly for her to understand that in the same way he wanted Liberty to understand his absences... "Even if you can't remember it all you can always find me for help." He wanted to be there for this girl, to help her if he could. Maybe he could show her Valhalla and where his den was she could find him whenever. Maybe even introduce her to Erani... He didn't know how long he would be around after all. Maybe he could introduce her to the rest of his family? He had met Vi briefly, a sister he had never known about and according to her he had quite a bit of family around. Even Zara, whom would take good care of Odette in his absence. His invitation for her to help him hunt for herbs left her in better spirits and he chuckled. "Jus these are fine, I'll leave them in piles here and as you find them bring them back and see if they're the same then out them in the pile. Yarrow and Valerian are the two easiest to find here, but we might be lucky like I did with the peppers! Sound good?" He asked, tail waving behind him as he looked down at her as a proud father might look down at his daughter. They could spread out but stay close enough to chat at least. |
