Children! There was no way Epiphron would miss the birth of Erani and Nova's children; they would be her siblings, in a strange way. Not by blood, but instead linked by something nearly as strong... by love. But despite her eagerness to meet the newborns, her mind had been otherwise occupied. Her last meeting with Maverick weighed all too heavily on her mind, his presence haunting her. Struggle she did to get the boy out of her thoughts, her sister's future husband seemed unwilling to leave her mind. While she was distracted, she wouldn't dream of missing this day. Though she arrived slightly later than the others, she was sure Erani would not be disappointed. Already a stranger had arrived -- a small girl with bright blue eyes. Epiphron gave her a simple smile, creeping in alongside her sister. Her eyes drifted to Nova, noting that he was familiar, though she had never spoken to him directly. That would need to change soon. Though she had missed the actual birth, she was filled with joy and thrill at the sight of the five children clinging to Erani's belly. The girl would keep her distance as well; Erani seemed ecstatic, as did Nova, but she was unwilling to encroach on a new mother, even if the woman as as good as a parent to her. Preston had arrived as well, and she leaned over to nudge him lightly in greeting. "They're beautiful," she said, slightly breathless as she examined the newborns. Perhaps there was still some hope left -- if there was, it was embodied in these five children and their two loving parents. Perhaps not everything was so bad, she realized, as a wide grin spread over her features. |
