Do The Tables Turn?

That moment of peace always seemed to end prematurely. Akemi would lift her head, and there he was. The black beast of darkness, the one whom she loved and cared for. Yet, after their last meeting, she had also become quite sore and agitated with him. His actions. Hati was a demon, yes, but he was also her brother. He was her older brother whom she had always looked up to for his strength and will. But now? Her feelings were mixed as she looked at him. She would open her jaws, about to respond, when her single eye would catch sight of the young pup with him. Who the young man was she didn't know but judging by the coat coloration... could this young man be her brother's son?

Gaze would shift fully back to him, her tone soft. "Hati... long time no see." The female would fight with her emotions, giving a heavy sigh. "I want to be mad with you, you know that. That... accusation Thor threw at me... it stung a lot. Then you went and broke Freyr's jaw... Hati... that wasn't necessary. Not in front of my children." Honestly she didn't care if he wasn't ready to talk this out. It was going to happen, here and now.

"I know that their real father was a scumbag, a man who got what he deserved. But Hati... I just wanted to give them the childhood we didn't have. Even if that meant believing that Freyr was their father while they were young... that was all I wanted. I didn't want them to get hurt the same way we did." She would gently motion to the boy. "You care about him in the same way, don't you?" She would ask. Not once had her voice been raised, though it was clear enough. She was hurting.

"Hati I..." Tears would start to sting her remaining eye. "I... I miss you... how we used to be."
