A family breaking

Hanako was smushed into a hug, felt so tiny against her son's chest, an almost comedic parallel of how things used to be. How tiny he'd once been, all black and blue, squealing against her stomach. Their Father had expected so much from Bas and his siblings and she barely saw them. Did they blame her, that she hadn't protected them better? Deep down she knew she wasn't a good person, but to dwell on the fact she'd been a bad mother too, well some things were better left unthought. It was easier that way, to deflect blame and be angry at the world at large, wish it had treated her better.

"I'm a good swimmer Bas," She spoke gently, nuzzling against his chest a little before pulling away so she could look at him better. "But I know...it wasn't entirely fair of me to stay away and let you think something had happened to me." How could she put this, was she really going to bare her heart to the only child of hers who made an effort to speak with her, spend time with her? Because Levi was-well, he was Levi and too alike his sire in many ways. "It's not your fault- I just think of the Armada and it-" She hadn't always made the right choices, or any choices at all really, only to find herself mad at the destination her inaction led her too. A fickle woman she was.
