Time's Forever Frozen Still

Summer. Summer meant heat, not just for the weather, but for her as well. She felt a bit awkward around her boys now, not that they would understand the scent just yet. But just in case, she had rolled herself in some crushed lavender to try and hide the scent of it, little purple flowers still clinging to the fur along her back. She seemed cautious in her steps around the mangrove, not afraid but just more... careful. She had never erm, attracted any men before, nor did she want to. But there was a bit of fear in that, hence the lavender. But what would her boys think of her changed scent? Did that mean that -- oh goodness no she didn't want to give them the talk yet. They weren't even a year old! She shuttered at the thought, her mind jumping everywhere. She felt scatter brained, and like the world was too hot around her. Jumping over some of the mangrove roots, she settled herself on the damp sand, her back pressed against the short stump behind her. The weather really was getting warmer, and she hoped that her sons weren't melting into piles of fluff and sweat just yet. She knew that they weren't used to it, it didn't get as warm up in the North as it did here. But they have plenty of places to go swimming, so that helped, right? Amalia sighed, her russet face dropping towards the earth. She felt bad about moving them all here, and while she knew that the young were quite flexible, she knew that the first Summer was going to be hard on them. Perhaps they should make a little trip up North once the heat really gripped the lands... They would probably like that, although the thought of running into Vereux made her stick her tongue out. Her mind went back to the conversation that she had with her wife, and she knew that it was wrong to keep them away from him. She just couldn't stand it, not one bit. Part of her knew that it wasn't his fault, but most of her just wanted to keep her family safe. They were here now, with her mother and some of her siblings, and she didn't want to leave. Maybe she should call that meeting with Leo, to let them meet more of her side of the family. That would cheer them up, right? |
