into the light

"Speech!"
When Triss responded she was grateful. She worried that she was off with Crux and that she would need to wait to talk to her, though it wasn't like she minded. Her daughter had found someone she loved and for that she was so happy, but she had important things to discuss now that she was old enough. Widow expected things of her children, and who better to serve as a good example than her eldest? If she would ever get to welcome more children into this world, potential heirs, then they would need a strong sibling to look up to and Widow hoped that would be Cryptis. Even if her health wasn't perfect, she was, and she wanted her to be a good role model for them.

"How are you doing?" she asked as she entered once invited. There were many things to talk about, especially a topic that seemed far more important than the one she had come for, but that... that was something she needed to talk to her about with Stolas... though she wasn't sure how the news would go. Certainly they had picked up on a few similarities? It wasn't like she looked much like him, though... but regardless, that wasn't the reason she was here. She wanted Cryptis to focus on other things for now, and now that she was a grown adult, certainly she had ideas on what she wanted to do with the rest of her life.
