Ocean's Breath Plateau auntspeak

An invitation... to join his family?

The subject of his parents thankfully shelved for now, Matteo felt his cheeks flush as he processed the news. Chakliux's excitement was not hard to miss, reminiscent of Raiyuk's infectious happiness, although the boy found it hard to reciprocate at that moment in time.

He knew he could not live the rest of his life relying on Iseul and already he had seen her less and less, spending more time with Raiyuk. It was not fair to cling to her should she want to spread her wings in Moontide as he had begun to do. 

And he could not deny the pure joy of being wanted as part of a family. "I think I'd really like that," a small smile finally wormed its way onto his face. Chakliux's generosity was welcomed. "And I'd be happy to help with any work that needs to be done."
