Otatso Wetlands Below my feet

When you lose someone you love? 

Stark for a moment didn't even know how to address that. Could you truly love someone that you clearly didn't know? Or was he losing the part of Octavia that he had come to care so much about? Which was it - and how did he get back to where he had been and figure things out? Stark only gave a brief nod because he couldn't even articulate a proper response. "I've been there since he was just days old. Even if it takes her awhile to come home I'm still going to take care of Tam." Stark said gently. There was no way that he wouldn't continue to care for Tambourine just as he had been. He'd continue to feed him, keep him safe, give him as much love and affection as he could. Just day by day the line became more muddled and he wasn't sure when it was acceptable or not. The longer it took, the less he cared about those limitations. 

"If you see her, let her know he's safe. My sister and I have been taking care of him, my friend Rhodes keeps our borders safe." All his basic needs were met and then some. All he needed was for his Mum to come home and let their little family be complete. They could work on fixing things together if Octavia just came home.
