Desponia turned her gaze away from her niece, feeling the fight slowly bleeding from her body. She didn't like it. The younger woman's question stuck like a thorn in her skin, and she knew she'd have to rip it out. But not yet. Let her stew for a moment longer. "They weren't planned if that's what you're getting at. I had a lapse in judgment. I've never had any intention of having kids." She wasn't going soft, wasn't feeling particularly maternal. But now that she'd decided she wanted to keep them she was going to dig in. It was her choice and she'd fight to keep it. Desponia sighed, sliding her gaze upwards, watching the sky as if she could find anything there. She sat with the question a little longer. Finally she shrugged, trying to give off more nonchalance than she actually felt. "I got tired of running. Spent long enough stuck here that when I had my freedom given back I finally knew what I had been missing: A place to come back to." Desponia smirked, a single sardonic chuckle escaping her. "I'm not convinced your mom didn't know exactly what she'd done." Desponia fell silent again, she wasn't happy with the feelings rushing through her. She didn't like that it felt like everything she'd always repressed was suddenly fighting to come rushing out of her. Emotions she wasn't even ready to deal with, if ever. "Speech" |
