If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck… but she sounds weird, doesn’t quack like the same duck. It is her voice, he is certain, just as he knows her scent. How could one forget their mother’s scent? But she… she doesn’t know his. How does one forget her son’s scent?
He shrinks before her eyes; literally. She is so cold, so distant, and she doesn’t recognize him, that it almost affects him instantly. Both subconsciously and consciously, his shape is altered to what it once was. Younger, smaller, his voice pitched a bit higher - a 6 month old colt, staring at his mother-with-a-different-name with uncertain, hurtful, wide eyes: trying to appeal to her still, trying to understand what happened, and why she doesn’t want to be his mother any more. ”You left us with dad when I was this small. He said you needed space and I believed it. Maybe he did too? Where you Roz back then too? Have you seen Oisín and Eurwen? Or Ilan?”
But his questions are hopeless attempts; if she can’t remember him, nor his siblings or his dad, then all of this is futile and he will not get any answers. The spotted knabstrup hybrid bites his lower lip, seeing that his questions are not helping him in the slightest; stepping back a little to stay out of her reach as if she’s not the one he knows, as if she is indeed a stranger who is about to attack him (at this point nothing is certain) he tries something else. ”Where’d you get Breckins shells and feathers… Roz, you said? Did you… did you kill my mother?” As if he now believes she got possessed, or maybe this is an evil twin of his mothers’, who’d taken her trinkets from her. It’s not right, but maybe, just maybe, if she is the same person as she was before, then deep down she will feel guilty for leaving? Mother always was so kind and caring, maybe some of it is left? Could she not feel guilty or sorry for lying to his face about not being his mother? For being this… Roz person in her stead?
And what if she is an evil twin? What can he do then?
from the ashes a fire shall be woken

Such confuse. Big sad. Much worried.
