Stone Circle Awoken from a fog

The reason behind his conception mattered little to him. He was here now and was well aware that he was loved by his mother so truly, anything that came before his first breath wasn’t important to him. He stepped forward to attempt a gentle head butt in a display of affection, trying to show her that he understood and was grateful for the love she gave them. He waited for a moment before pulling away, tail brushing against his hocks while he listened to the reasoning behind her decision of wanting a mate. 

“I will always be here for you” he announced, wanting her to hear it aloud that he’d be there for her whenever she needed him. She had raised him, the least he could do was return the affection. Even if Stark should abandon her or Steph and Clary decided to continue their life elsewhere, Ezra believed he’d be here to support her. As for the mention of a father figure...”I can’t miss something I never had” he answered with shrug. Any hole that might usually display itself in one missing a father wasn’t present in the greyscale youth. He had never held a desire for a father, never believed he needed one either. “You and aunt Nook were the best parents I could have asked for. I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
