*** Aether has joined 018.07.154.55 <Aether> Hello. You have reached Lusamine Mendel. <Aether> Please leave a message, and I will get back to you shortly.
The soft touch to his cheek makes tears well up in his eyes unbidden. He always was a bit of an easy crier, sure, but this was different. The touch and the words. Acceptance.
He leans into her hand, a dog putting the full weight of his love into the lean.]
I missed you too, yo. I know it's gonna take some time, but I wanna be yer son again. I love you.
[He's never been one to shy away from telling those around him how much they mean to him, and Lusamine will be no exception.]
[When he leans into her touch, she takes the opportunity to brush his hair away from his eyes and smooth it back between his ears, just like she used to. She's about to say that she loves him, too, before a thought catches in her throat.]
"Take some time"...? [A trace of fear flickers across her eyes.] Whatever do you mean? You've come back, and now... Now everything can go back to the way it was.
[The way it was—when he was still her son and this world had yet to unveil any of its ugliness to her.]
[Oh. She's okay with just picking right back up. Beat's tail begins to wag, soft and steadily. Junior, tired of being ignored, butts her head up against Lusamine's shoulder, pet her too!]
I di'nt know if you wanted to jus' go right back, yo. I wasn't sure if you'd be aight wid it. But ye... yea if you aight wid it, then we can go right back to how it was. 'Fore I upset you. I promise I ain't gonna again, I ain't goin' no where.
