Swiftcurrent Creek Now you know I'm paper-thin

Arric had never had children. He was certain he had some out there, at least from the sea queen herself, but other than that. He didn't know if he had any others and he wasn't that concerned. If he had  relationship with any of the mother's maybe he'd worry about it, but he had known what they wanted, and he was not part of the deal. No matter how often that smarted a little. He was never part of the deal, but that was okay.


He saw the movement, so he only moved close enough to lay the food and then he backed up as far as he could go while still able to speak with her and see her and he sat kind of stiffly honestly.  Reverie had betrayed his trust in a way, by leaving. By not speaking to Lestan as she had promised and it smarted. Now Lestan was gone, Reverie had left and now what? She was back with a new mouth to food and she was super protective anyway of it. It was clear she didn't trust him as he had thought she did.

He shifted and studied her with assessing blue eyes. Are you recovering well? The baby's cute from what I can see.
