Don't Cry For Me

The woman took a breath in the silence that followed. She had let herself get a little too upset over the matter. After all, she didn't know Erani personally. She had never even been to Valhalla, she had only heard about it from her own mother. She had thought about it when choosing a pack to join. That was all. Surely she wasn't this upset over the change in power. Perhaps Adelaide was angry about her miscarriage, and ranting over an entirely different topic was her way to let it all out. She wanted to scream to the heavens. She just wanted her children back. And Newol just wanted his family near him again. Both creatures were mourning their old lives in one way or another.

As his soothing voice made an attempt to calm her, Adelaide looked up with a smile. "I know. I should calm down, shouldn't I?" she laughed bleakly, deciding to be honest with the kind brute. "I do believe that what happened to Valhalla is unfair and wrong. I sympathize with you and your family. But maybe that isn't the source of my anger. I'm probably just upset about... something else." In the end, she decided against it. Maybe this brute didn't want to hear about her problems. Twin blue eyes blinked at him for a moment before darting away, heat flooding her cheeks. She didn't need to share her life story with everyone. She didn't want any words of condolence. She just wanted people to understand.

She just wanted her children back.
