Heartha suppressed a chuckle at the response she got. Dawn sure was rather energetic, even with her speaking. "Sylvas" she said in response to the young one. She lived to seeing young ones, and helping care for them. Just seeing this one playing kept her happy. She kept moving when Dawn popped a question. 

She thought of Kieran's parents. Sylvas still lived. But Eden, she was gone. "I...no, I'm not his mother. His mother is...she's in a better place." What Dawn said of her mother made her pause. Is that why Day had reacted the way he did when she had asked? She wanted to ask about every detail, why she was mean, why she wasn't around. She held herself back.
