Broken Antler Fen Let your arms be a place she feels safe in

Eljay listened quietly as Maia told him about her parents. A storyteller mother, and a father who was more serious, but knew a few stories too. Eljay wondered idly if his children would remember him as the serious father. He hoped not. He wasn't too sure what he preferred to be remembered as, though. What would he hope that one day his children would tell others about him..?

They sound wonderful, he said softly when Maia finished. It was a shame that he never got to meet them.

Maia mentioned they died around the time that Wildfire died, which, despite the pause in her words, did cause Eljay to look a little distraught for a moment. It was a long time ago now, but he would never stop missing her, even if he was also very happy and grateful to have Maia in his life now.

Yeah... Time does seem to go faster and faster the older you get, huh? Eljay said in the end, contemplatively.
