Northstar Vale there could be no regrowth

She had brought in a few branches from the cherry blossom tree just a day before so that her little boy would have color in his life, a lovely look to brighten up the gloom that fell over the new mother. She was haunted by the ghosts of her no longer living children, only eating enough to provide her singleton with the nutrient he could need. She could not handle any more but she found she was growing hungrier so maybe that was a good sign. 

When the gentle nudging came from her little boy, that was when she noticed the voice. Oh, they had a visitor. She wished it was her beloved friend but by the sound of it she knew it wasn't. Instead she rose slowly to find it was her little boy trying to greet their new visitor, well, until the bright light of outside seemed to have stunned him. She gave a soft chuckle as she came behind the child before nudging him a little toward, his first steps outside. Ah, it was the other healer. 

"Awenfen? Oh, thank you for being so considerate." She gave a tired smile before looking at the little white boy between her legs, [b]"This is Kazuhiko." She spoke before giving him a soft lick on the back of his ears.
