Tarvelie has taken an absence from her home. Her life had led in a series of turns, and the beachside cliffs had been too much for her to wake up to every day. Though after a year (possibly more) the woman returns, and she is not alone.
She has another boy, a grullo child whom she has loved just as much as her other son. The winged mare has called him vineyard, and the boy is beautiful like his brother. The thought of the pale child (now grown and gone) makes her heartache. She had not been there enough. The duo had good times back in the day, he had pulled her into a happiness she hadn't felt in a while.
She strolls along the beach with the stone colored child, his bodice tucked neatly beneath her wing, hidden from the world around them. Nerine had changed since the arrival of Hestia, and while Tarvelie felt safer she still feared for her child. Her heart quickens when she sees him, however. At first, she does not recognize the scar mapped stag. He is turned from her and when she comes closer she smiles widely.
"@[Ardashir], my sweet child."
She calls to him, and she knows she won't have to call very loudly. He had always been such a good listener. It is at his mother's voice that spurs Vineyard to choose this time to peak his head out from beneath the creamy expanse of her wings, his doe eyes peering at his sibling.
