The Mother's Pain.

Fire colored hues watched her. She seemed off today. Something agitated her as well. The last time he'd seen her she'd seemed a bit more... loose than this. Right now she seemed rather stoic. Her composure was well held, but it didn't seem natural. No. Something bothered her on this day, but how could this pertain to him? Did it even pertain to him at all? ?A moment past, I called for the male I viewed and loved as a son. Neo. He came. And my heart aches at the change I see in him. I am no stranger to loss. But this loss is new.? ... ?I have lost my son.? Her voice cracked as she spoke and she seemed to stare right through him rather than straight at him. It was oddly disturbing and for a moment he was at a loss for words. She was upset because Neo revoked her? The child had grown quite cold and hate filled his veins. He was too far gone for any of the Valhallan's to save him, that much was obvious. She should have expected such a reaction from him, but he could not tell her that. Instead he spoke a different tune. "I've noticed he's been the cause of a lot of ruckus since he's come to my home. I fail to see why you called me here for. I do not see any way that I can help you. I cannot return the boy. Valhalla wonders why I will not fight for my members, it's because it's their own choice on whether they wish to stay. If Neo was honest, then I do not think he's willing to go anywhere, and he'll fight for his own right to stay in his new home." There was no remorse for Erani's pain, but he wasn't completely heartless. He could understand it in a way. His mother had abandoned him and his father had nothing to do with him. He'd been lucky with Sikyrah had dropped him off at Tortuga's borders and Nnoitra had taken him in. It was a whole other matter to completely revoke your family, blood or not. So which pain was worse? Either way, Neo had made his choice. Kaien wasn't about to kick the kid out and start more problems for his pack. It certainly wasn't worth the trouble. "Tell me Erani. What did you want me to do about it?" It couldn't hurt asking her what she expected of him. Of course she should realize that there wasn't much he could do, or would be willing to do, but words never hurt. Not that much at least. He doubted she had a solution to her pain, but it would be interesting to see what she had to say. Speech, |
