Reyes lingered on the outskirts of Sapphique for a few days, unsure if he should breach the borders to visit with his parents or not. He hadn't felt too well received; plus, according to his plans, he should have headed home after a day or two, not four or five.
When he did finally depart he did it without warning to either of his parents — unaware that @Rosalyn had gone off to join @Erzulie in support of her newborns, which would have arrived after a day of his own travel.
As he followed the coast he came to the bluffs due west of the cliffs, and the announcement of the newborns came to him on the wind. Reyes felt a brief sense of pride to know his family had grown, a nagging bit of jealousy too, and then a deep, profound ache.
He missed his three crazies back home. The young man thought of making a return call to praise his mothers, but decided not to. They were moving on with their lives and really, he should too.
