[SEASONAL EVENT] belladonna

ASHE some people survive chaos, and that is how they grow,    Ashe scoffed in return. Just like her? She couldn't speak to that, but she knew Theea was full of fire and light, and she was damned brilliant. Stunning resilient, considering what she endured in her short years just to survive. Her speech was finally beginning to catch up too - Ashe and Kalt both had been working hard with her on it.    She smiled again at the mention of bringing the two of them by. Her mother was putting an effort forward, a real one, despite the first impressions made between them. A rocky start to be sure, but she loved them both, and she would never sacrifice one for the other. She had been so afraid before, that it would be asked of her: to choose between Kalt and her other life. It seemed so obvious now that there was no choosing. Kalt and Theea were as much her life as the others were.    Ashe nodded, but she didn't part from her mother's embrace. "I'll bring them both soon, Theea would love it," she said. "I would love it."    Silence fell, and Ashe found herself... content. She was content to stay there and listen to the birds singing and the trees swaying and Vervain's breathing for a while. The smells of churned soil and flowerbirth air and Vai's hair were a comfort she couldn't describe. The assassin remained in the arms of her mother for as long as she was willing to hold her.
