Lost Creek Hollow If you've changed your mind

Again she nodded.  Hopefully there wouldn't be any trouble.  Probably would be, but at least if Ibis totally hated the idea she could have just turned around and left before committing to staying.  Whatever.  They'd find out.

Her distrust and low expectations from Seabreeze carried over to her children.  Were they a lot like their mother since they'd spent most of their time with her?  Treason expected so, but maybe Ibis had left because she realized the err of her ways or something.  There was a lot of speculation, and Treason wasn't one to think the best of people.

So what will this mean?  It was open ended.  What did it mean about them, her, whoever.  Everything.  In all honesty it kind of was a lot to try to figure out, and she didn't know where to start, so she kind of did have to look to Terance for some direction.  Treason hadn't expected them to be more than brief visitors.  She didn't want to act as a mother to Ibis or -- what was the boy's name again?  Whatever.  They probably wouldn't really like her anyway -- she didn't subscribe to the Elysium brand of woo (or any brand, for that matter), and was probably so different from Seabreeze that they'd get whiplash.  How then would Ibis fit in to the family they were making here at the Creek?  Maybe it would have been better if she hadn't let herself get overly involved...
