Redtail Rise you need someone to take your pain for you?

I gotta get back to it.

It wasn't the reunion she had hoped for. She had stupidly believed that her son would be happy to see her. But she had been gone for most of his life. she was stupid to think he would welcome her back with love. 

She nodded at his words. Bye, Ancelin, she murmured. She could feel tears sting the backs of her eyes but she didn't want him to see her cry—she didn't want him to feel sorry for her. She didn't deserve it.

Even after his form disappeared on the horizon, she stayed where she was, miserable and unsure what to do now.

She would earn his love and loyalty back; she had to.
