a place to call my own

I am glad to hear that your mother is doing well. Natalya would smile, thinking of the woman she considered friend. Selene was their matriarch before her illness took hold of her, and was also the oracle of the Olympus family. Her inability to perform her duties had hit everyone hard. Nat both enjoyed her company and admired her strength, and she looked forward to Selene's recovery more than she would likely admit. Of course, her niece, Virgil, was a perfectly capable matriarch, but she still had a lot of training and life left to experience.
She nodded as Eros gave her permission to eat and tore a piece of meat from the rabbit as she listened to the next question directed toward her. If her eyes could show emotion, they would have showed sadness within them. When I left they were quite well, but I don't think that they have made it here yet. I have not seen them in quite some time. She had not spoken to anyone about her husband or sons since she had begun her time in Alacritis and it was a bit strange to speak of them now, but she needed to. She would only withhold emotion, as she couldn't be caught crying by anyone. I miss them terribly.
