Dragoncrest Cliffs This ship was built to last

Mind if I fade here? :)

Reyes didn't know what to expect; he hadn't when he'd arrived, and he certainly didn't presume anything alongside his request. Rosalyn's initial reservation upon seeing him hadn't entirely faded, but she sounded glad with the invitation to meet her grandchildren. Erzulie too, of course.

This brought a smile to his face. He couldn't help it; thinking of his trio of crazies encountering both of his mothers, and them meeting Towhee, sounded idyllic. He didn't think long about the chaos that would ensue with Caracal's entertaining, but crude, antics; or the bickering-play of the twins.

I'd like to hear about them, prompted Rosalyn.

Come now, invited Erzulie.

Whatever misgivings Reyes had felt, whatever tension held between the three of them, at least they could bond over the children. Reyes is soon ushered across the borderline by both women, and while he is careful of how he carries himself he finds it easier to be among them again as the minutes pass.

It isn't quite home, but home wasn't here with them anymore — Towhee and the kids were his home now.
