What Is An Ocean But A Multitude Of Drops
If she had known that the reason behind Gryffen’s barely concealable disgust was because she reminded him of his mother, Astri would use it against him. She would taunt him mercilessly and then accuse him of being one of those horses who have some unnatural oedipus complex. But, she doesn’t know what goes on in Gryffen’s twisted mind, so she ignores him and only smirks when he joins her pace. “Oh no.” She replies, flicking an ear in his direction passively. “I thought that was your job? Bringing whores to Straia for a pat on the head.” She chuckles for a moment, but she knows it’ll cost her.
Enough of the idle banter. “That’s besides the point.” She comments, letting the smirk slip away. It irked her to even think of asking someone for help, but she thinks that if anyone can point her in the right direction, it would be Gryffen. “I think my son is a shifter. Of what kind, I’m not sure.” She slows to a halt, eyes wandering around the silent forest while she idly contemplates the spirits of Chamber past. “He needs a mentor, someone who can instruct him and help him master his gift. I would ask you to take on that job, but you seem exceptionally busy these days.”
Her head turns, eyes boring into his red ones. “He’s a danger to himself and others until he learns control. Under the right guidance he could be great, but I can only help him so much.” She wonders, suddenly, if Gryffen is even the right one to approach with this information. He, like Astri, will do anything to get a step ahead.
