Kankri and his wriggler, Tadashi, sat on the couch. The Vantas seemed lost in thought. along with Tikore who walked in the room slowly.
Nyixan, who is fully grown now, was in the music room staring at one of the guitars there. He too seemed to be in thought.
Everyone was really except for Tadashi, Menvra, and Hikaru.
[Kankri:] What if he goes back? I mean, it would be expected. I was merely a replacement...How would I feel about that though? And what would I tell our son?...
[Tikore:] Does Kota not love me anymore to visit..? What about Nyi, his own son? ...I miss him so much...
[Nyixan:] A father who doesn't visit, no matesprit as far as I can see... just a moirail. Cod fucking dammit. How pathetic am I for a Makara? Tch.
[Marshall Lee:] Grey...Please don't tell me this is like Fiona all over again...Dammit...Why do I let people get so close only if it'll hurt later?...
The four stayed as they were, silent and distant from everything.
Soon enough, however, Tadashi pulled on his mother's sleeve, Menvra shook Nyixan so he'd focus, and Hikaru poked at his brother's cheek. Whereas Marshall Lee just came to on his own.
They all had snapped out of the trace.
Well, sort of at least.
