you're not listening, you don't understand

What the future had in store for her, she had no idea; but she no longer wanted to let life simply pass her by. If she wanted something, she would have to take it by force -- if she wanted to see her children, she would have to find them herself, and this is what she planned to do. "Arian," she said her name again, wishing badly she could nuzzle into her daughter's neck and lay with her for all eternity. Unlike her other children, she had not raised this girl from birth. She'd come into her life when she had already lived and seen despair; she'd never even had the opportunity to shield her from it.

"We tried to like Ebony," she explained carefully, unsure how to verbalize something that even she did not fully understand. "We were missing something there. You kids, a purpose..." she shrugged, not wanting to make things so dramatic. It had been a decent enough pack, and she had been sad to leave, but it hadn't really had any real importance to her. Life seemed more meaningful now, since she had begun to reunite with her children. She'd been afraid that she had lost herself -- and now she needed to find it.

Epiphron's attention shifted to the top of Arian's head, as she began absently lapping at the fur there, straightening it delicately. "Father and I are okay. We are taking some time apart." She was okay, but the situation was certainly not. He found himself wondering if he had returned to the woman he had slept with, but it only made her more eager to find the meaning that her life had lost. "You'll find, as you get older, you'll make decisions that are good for you, but bad for your family... your father is taking some time to learn from his mistakes, and remember what's really important." She smiled through the pain, which she couldn't fully hide, not wanting Arian to worry for her.
