Emer hadn't dared to think about the possibility of losing her daughter. Whilst she hadn't previously thought about children nor had she gotten her family in a way she had ever wished for she certainly didn't alter the amount of love she held for her children. To lose them now would be devastating and it wasn't something that she dared to think about, the thought alone was far too painful.
Valerius would begin to speak once more, the words suggesting a subject change though not one she would immediately guess until he continued. They were onto that topic that Emer had herself once found herself having to discuss with her daughter. It'd been an awkward matter then talking about it with Cecily and she had hoped it was something that would have simply been forgotten about. Of course it was a silly hope to have had really, clearly Cecily had remembered and spoken to Valerius and now apparently it was to be her own turn.
"Oh" She began simply, no surprise in her voice as Valerius perhaps may have expected. If she thought that the conversation with Cecily had been awkward she had a feeling that this one now was about to be even more so. A part of her longed for some sort of escape route right now, a way to avoid the matter though she knew there was no chance of that now, they'd need to talk at some point even if some emergency came along to distract them from it now.
She would pause before speaking again, unsure on how to continue. "She had spoken about that with me." She stated, voice a little hesitant, still feeling rather uncertain on what to actually say. "She actually thought you were her already dad." And the young girl had made a very strong argument on the matter.
