Swiftcurrent Creek i'm not half the man i used to be

The absence of her lover and two children has not gone unnoticed, though Alessia is not truly concerned. She assumes Rosalie has taken their daughters to explore, so her own pace is leisurely as she trails behind them — until she hears shouting. Her heart jumps, pace picking up until she arrives on the scene at a run.
Rosalie, She calls first, gaze sweeping over Aditya. Kavik had mentioned the possibly-expecting couple entering their ranks; she'd meant to seek him out, clear the air, but something had held her back. It seems it matters little now anyway. He's — a friend. She hesitates only a moment on the word, glancing briefly between her lover and her subordinate before her attention turns to her hyperventilating child. Zephyr — She murmurs, but the silver girl turns away as if to hide her tears. Slightly exasperated, she glances up toward Aditya again. I... apologize for the strange welcoming party.
