Feeling a lil nostalgic

Hanako glanced over at him, brows furrowing slightly at the mention of her sweet boy. She struggled to imagine her son with a temper, he'd always been a gentle giant in her eyes, treated her as though she was made of porcelain. That she might shatter into pieces if he held her too tightly, or spoke too harshly. But looking at the damage he'd inflicted on Azure she had no choice but to believe it. In hindsight, it seemed inevitable really, little wonder he hadn't already lashed out in others way.

"He's a good boy, you better not have hurt him." Or else she'd what?

Watching him settle, Azure kept his distance. Perhaps wisely, though at the same time it almost felt like a rejection of sorts. If he knew what was good for him, he would have moved closer, lathered her with praise and affection and apologies. It was what she'd been expecting, in all honesty and she found the sting of offence prickling beneath her skin. Naturally, she was expecting far too much too soon, or at all when it came to Azure. Time had the potential to change some things, but a koi could never swap its spots.

At the mention of the flood, she exhaled, ears flicking again. "I never liked the Col. We should have stayed in the Plains." That was her take on the situation, not that it was terribly sad people had died. If anything, the fact that a lot of her own personal effects had either been ruined or outright lost bothered her too. All those little things Azure had gotten her, gone like she'd never had them to begin with."I'm a decent swimmer, but I think if I'd been in the Col I would have drowned too." A thought she hadn't lingered on much at all, and the way her expression creased said as much.

"Everything got worse after the move." Was her conclusion, her pretty rose-tinted glasses made life seem that way to her.
