Firefly Glen [PHE] you don't know me liked you used to

ezra is wrapped in a hug that steals his breath away. he trembles with the miasma of emotions he is wrapped up into; swept away from shore by relief and joy. and though he doesn't mean for etienne to become one with the background, in the wake of being reunited with his father, ezra barely registers his presence.

it compounds and builds until it is released into a quiet sob into his father's neck before he is set back down. gideon is with him! gideon is safe! while ezra had always held onto the hope, he'd also been terribly afraid that they'd find one but not the other.

it takes him a moment to collect himself, to swallow down the crack of emotion in his throat.

mom is unvell from travel. tired. veak, ezra admits, left ear twitching as he considers things. in his mind, they would go with anselm back to where he was staying with gideon. to ezra, it is a no brainer. i do not know if she vill vant to go vith us or go back to rivenvood ... but i am going vith you.

he had already told his mother that he would not go back to rivenwood. not even if amadeo was gone from the woods. it held too many bad memories, and ezra looked now to the future ... whatever it may hold.
