The Sentinels house of the rising sun

In all the abilities that she possessed Rowan did not see it coming, her strengths given more to the children and to Lasher than anything else. She drew in a breath, stepping back the moment that the woman rose up with her hackles lifted in preparation to defend herself and her children if need be. What Aria admitted made her heart falter, she could understand those emotions, she could understand that pain. "I...am sorry." She said gently. "Especially given the circumstances, not about the children; but for your lost chance with him." Because she had not known anything, and their connection was not planned in the slightest. 

She could not be sorry for her children though. She would never be sorry for that. A small part of Lasher would live on, directly because of her, in the children of his that she would bring to life. "I will understand if you want us removed." She said quietly. She would find a home for them if need be, although she wanted his children to grow among his forest, in his lands, with his family.
