Aidon huffs out a breath, smoke curling from his nostrils as he meets Amun’s eyes, trotting forward to finally greet the Ascended. A trill sounds from his throat, head cocking to the side, sending a flash of intrigue towards Maeve. A picture of Adam accompanying it. She shakes her head, [say]”No, love, it isn’t him.”[/say] She whispers, voice threatening to break all over again.

The Nightshade met his eyes, jade eyes still rimmed with tears, [say]”You didn’t happen to know Adam, did you? He- he recently passed and-“[/say] She cut herself off again, swallowing thickly as she tried to push down the grief and guilt. [say]”And I’ve just been alone. Trying to raise my son and take care of Torchline and everything. It’s been a lot.”[/say]
