Dragoncrest Cliffs if the feeling don’t fit, you’ll just have to stick with it

Rosalyn was interrupted in her response to Meerkat by Aminthe's arrival. She turned her attention to her daughter and returned her kisses with a playful nuzzle and a few of her own back. Her daughter was growing and showed an exuberance for exploring the world that was equal parts exhausting and endearing. She leaned harder into the latter, though, casting one more loving glance before answering.

That's good to hear. I wanted to ask if there was anything you needed, and thank you for everything you've done for Erzulie. That wasn't all, but with Aminthe here, she needed to be careful. Even at her age, she'd learned to repeat things. I also wanted to ask how you've settled, since the wedding. It was tactful, but there was an open-ended feeling in the way she left it to hang. Meerkat might not feel comfortable discussing the shortcomings of her children, and normally Rosalyn would have opened outright to dismiss the notion of personal feelings around it. But she couldn't in front of her daughter.

She left Aminthe's comment for Meerkat to respond to, though it did make her smile. Hopefully the young woman was ready for all that motherhood entailed.
