Change in plans?

Ruby looked up at her son. My how he’d grown, the only one to actually call her mother and stay by her side. Ruby didn’t really care if that was fair or not. He was hers and she’d damn fight for it if she had to. Yet she let out a breath. "I may have gotten into a tiny bit of trouble." she ventured then relaxed and stood up. Sitting next to him she leaned into the albino’s frame. "I thought a child needed to be taught a lesson. Sure enough the father showed up so I left." she shrugged. "I’m tired of running Req, maybe it’s time I settle down?" it was okay if he didn’t answer this time.

"I scouted a few lands, but wanted to know if you found anything worth while." maybe he’d also been fruitful. Maybe he wanted to leave and she could have the thrill of manipulating him to stay. Yet he owed her a great deal. Saving him from a neglectful birth mother as it was. Though they’d never really spoken much about it.
