oh i got troubles that won't let me be, but i won't get tired, set the world on fire
He sets the table, placing plates and utensils down and plopping a seat as soon as his work is done, smiling after his mother as she makes her way to the oven. The smile fades slightly when he realizes his slip, when he remembers that he hadn’t told his mother what happened to him more than a season ago because of the illness that rampaged and the worries she’d had trying to deal with all of that. He hadn’t wanted to add in more.
So he rubs his hand along the side of his cheek, through the fuzz that’s starting to grow there, until his hand rests at the back of his neck and he flashes a small half smile of awkwardness. “I had… An issue at the end of Flowerbirth in the oceans so I’ve just been avoiding it.” He offers, to not leave her hanging but knowing his mother well enough to know she’ll dig and find out anyway.
As for her happiness, he nods, a half smile forming on his face again as the food and wine are dished out, settling in again and nodding to her. “I’m good. I’m happy.” A mimic of what she had said but knowing it wouldn’t last with the comments of the issue he’d come across. “Other than that one time, Torchline has been good.” He avoids her gaze as he goes to reach for some food, to pile it up onto his plate.
