Redhawk Caldera the memories come and come

i love your daughter very much, kivaluk admits then, speaking the words aloud for the first time; hoping that he may put to rest any further worries that maia might've held. he would speak them to chickadee herself (soon!); but at the moment it felt prudent to tell his truth to her mother.

there was more, he wanted to say. how she was his sun and his moon and his stars, his heart ( all true! ) but he bites his tongue, wanting to save those truths for chickadee and her alone.

of course! kivaluk is quick to agree. you will always be welcomed in moonglow. it was not his place, perhaps, to offer such things but she would be his family soon and so he does offer it, without shame or hesitation.

i am not a wanderer, kivaluk admits; an outlier in his family, it seemed to him. our children will only give me further excuse to stay home. he admits with a sheepish chuckle.
