Rue would be touched to hear the full depth of their relationship, for the love and compassion and teachings of a mother to her son, but Sett should bear no shame in keeping such precious memories to himself. Sometimes those memories need to be kept guarded and safe from the rest of the world, a quiet haven where no one else can touch or taint them.
"I have no doubt that she is very proud of you, whether you were a handful or otherwise. It warms my heart to hear you speak so kindly of her. I hope that whatever force has brought all of us to this place reunites the both of you soon."
So much of this land remained a mystery to Rue, but they have full faith in love always pulling through in the end. No force on this plane could keep Sett and his mother apart for very long. They know this to be true.
"Ah, both you and Hob are of the same mind, I see. He has already asked for my consent to being taught how to defend myself. We shall see how that goes."
With the flowers perfectly arranged and Sett now digging into his breakfast, Rue swept gracefully from the kitchen to find a suitable place to sit out in the living area, smoothing out their skirt delicately around their legs once settled. Without missing a beat, their attention jumped immediately back to the young man at his casual, but so very generous suggestion, a soft trilling sound falling from Rue's beak at the surprise.
"Truly? You would offer your time to teach me?"Β Favors shared in the fey world are not given so freely. Rue was used to every offer coming with a price. "I admit, I'd very much like to learn a skill like that for Hob, to create something with my own claws that would provide a little more benefit to him than simply being pretty.Β Being able to make him a meal all of my own, why - I would appreciate that very much, my dear. And I could pay you for your time, of course."
A beat, just a moment, before they add, "Or perhaps return the favor? My skill set may not suit your tastes, but if you needed an event thrown together or a room redecorated or even a different set of clothes to the ones found in the local shops, I'd be more than happy to return your generosity."
