All things are possible, even the worst of things.
He didn’t even have to ask to know that the loss of her tattoos had affected her. He knows her far better than most (being her son and all), and far better than she would likely prefer. And though she would be loath to admit it (would probably die first, actually), he suspects that she had often viewed those tattoos as a shield as much as they were a statement, just as she had her once predatory teeth and hooves. He doesn’t doubt that the fiery woman feels somewhat bereft without those iconic pieces of herself. But none of this would ever pass his lips. He isn’t stupid, after all.
She is as matter of fact and reticent as ever, greeting him with a restraint he had long since come to expect. She had never been overly affectionate with any of her children, though he had never once doubted her love for him. After all, she had always had a terrible time holding any sort of grudge against him. He liked to think it was his charming personality.
She is clearly happy to see him, though she is not overt in her reaction. He responds immediately, a wide, infectious grin stretching his lips as he presses his dark muzzle briefly against her shoulder in an affectionate gesture. He laughs in response to her quip, dark eyes twinkling merrily as they find hers once again.
I’ll have to remember that. For future reference and all. And can’t a guy just want to say hi to his mother?
He pauses then, his bright smile fading slightly as he considers her. It’s true he had sought her out primarily to see how she had been faring. Granted, he does have secondary reasons for being here. But he would get there soon enough.
So how’ve you been? Anymore siblings I should know about?
His lips quirk then as the grin returns, a hint of teasing in his tone.
