Fate wouldn't answer her immediately and whilst he hadn't really given her any reason to be concerned, a part of Novella was still on edge, worried about her son. Had it really come down to this emotion constantly driving her every thought? Why couldn't her children visit her simply because they wished to spend time with her? He seemed very cheerful and his words too certainly backed that up as well. Those worries would slide away, though not without her feeling a little bad about having prepared for the worst. Where had her optimism gone?
She would look down at the fish that Fate and brought her. Certainly feeling impressed as he announced that he had been the one to catch it and even a small smile would grace her lips as his excited chatter continued, explaining his difficulties until his big brother came to the rescue. This was what she had wanted, craved all along for them to be one big happy family. So why did she keep ruining that?
"That's wonderful." She praised glancing down at the fish once more before looking to him again. She should say more, something to keep his happy little conversation going. She clung to this moment of happiness with a fierce desire, such times seemed so rare lately. "Did you catch one for yourself?" She enquired, was he joining her in celebration of the first bit of food he had caught?
