To be honest Emer simply couldn't imagine Valerius seeming so lost and confused, nor had she any idea that he needed her to feel safe and grounded. The chocolate male seemed like he had things under control whereas clearly her own life was quick to spiral into chaos without him and her children, their children she still hoped. He had aided her almost every step of the way though she still felt he'd never had a need or reason to commit to the little family. Whilst he had left them he had returned once more and the memory of how he'd helped and her need for him, especially now, overpowered any anger of the fact he had left. She'd felt nothing bad sadness and fear to be honest, there was little room for anger in the woman's heart.
Emer would press herself closer to him as he lowered his own head to wrap around her, his warm voice softly whispering her name. This certainly was the safest she had felt in a long time and right now she longed to savour that feeling as his touch and scent engulfed her, the world around them fading away, her worries and fears lessening slightly. Losing her family had been crippling, now he was back, Emer wasn't certain she could bear to lose Valerius again. "Please don't leave again." She would plead quietly.
So caught up in Valerius she wouldn't instantly notice Taddeo's arrival at the scene. Her son had been a star throughout everything, no child should have to see or care for their parents the way that he had. To make matters worse, Emer had always longed to keep her fears to herself, to never have her children suffer. Though he still knew nothing of the dark male that was haunting her again, the effects were obvious and he was no fool, could surely tell that something was wrong with her. Now though upon the mention of Taddeo's name she would lift her own head and turn slightly to search for the boy. He should certainly be part of this, what would hopefully be the start of the family reuniting. Valerius would surely know what to do to find Cecily and Signy, this was the start she prayed, perhaps they would all be together again in time.
