tell me that your hopes and dreams don't end in the heart
Noah smiled. “Kid’s sharp—mouth on her, snark for days. She's smart, and fun. Like her dad, her real one." Which was an entire story unto itself, but Noah would be forthcoming with the details it Alys pressed. "Always wants to be in the middle of things, stirring it up, seeing how far she can go.” At least, that's how she was in the Olson home. He knew she had been battered by her small world, and that scar tissue was heavy and she used it as a shield against the world every time she stepped through the threshold. Yes, his tone carried that quiet pride he couldn’t hide. “Talks way older than she is, half the time."
As he talked about her, he couldn't help but unravel on his other children. Margot first, then Marcus. “Margot’s quieter—kind, thoughtful. She notices things most people don’t, and she’s got this way of making you feel seen without saying much. She cares, real deep. Marcus is different, not unkind just Halovian through and through." He knew she'd understand that statement, that he didn't have to elaborate. "But gods, he lights up when he’s learning something new. Doesn’t matter if it’s hunting or some little trick with magic. You’d get them both right away.” He grinned.
"For anything else its useful for, teleportation gifted by the gods should bring you back to the people you love."
