Falls of the Hinterlands Mama, we're meant for the flies

His heart hammered within his chest, eyes searching her face for some kind of confirmation that she would go on. It was true that he was her son but Valour hated the fact that she showed up out of the blue and suddenly he felt like he'd go nuts with the idea of her wandering around aimless and unprotected when he had other things to do and worry about. Standing as if startled when he'd moved Valour froze and held her gaze expression tight and closed off until she dropped her gaze no longer looking at him though she whispered a confirmation. "You will because you can. You're one of those nice types. The good hearted ones...you can get anywhere if you work hard enough" she didn't bear the title of "Monster" and "Savage" with her wherever she walked nor did he think that anyone from Shadewood truly lingered around. "I'd like to see you again. Being your son and all. We have time to make up for" it was just a pleasant thought to tide her over but one pleasant enough that the smile he threw in lit his eyes just a little as he slowly inched closer his tail giving a sad sway "I'm okay, promise. I got through everything. I'm probably not someone you'd be proud of but i've done good things too" his words came from the heart, once more sharing a rare glimpse into his mind...if he could give Vanity that then by nature's right he'd afford some to his mother who looked ready to throw herself off the nearest mountain.
