followed. a soft sigh slipping through her lips.

“ if he does not return soon ... you and i will seek him out ”

[ᅠᛚᚨᚢᚠᛖᛁᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @DlS0WNED]

“ then it falls upon us to accompany him. to grant him the freedom to choose his own path, yet remain at his side when the consequences come. to make sure he knows how to rise again ” a pause ⇲

[* ‍ 𝗸𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝘀 ‍𓈒 ‍ @pantheonskiller]

“ no . he is too reckless . he does not understand that he is as well , until there are consequences . ”

[ᅠᛚᚨᚢᚠᛖᛁᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @DlS0WNED]

“ do you believe he is ready .ᐣ ”

[* ‍ 𝗸𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝘀 ‍𓈒 ‍ @pantheonskiller]

“ . . i do not know . he wanted to do this on his own , and i let him . ”

[ᅠᛚᚨᚢᚠᛖᛁᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @DlS0WNED]

she remained silent as she watched him, then slowly reached out, resting a hand on his shoulder before pulling him into her arms.

“ my sweet child, tell me what’s wrong ”

[‍ᅟ゛𝑨treus ‍ ‍. ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ @spadomr]

For a moment, he didn't answer. He only leaned into her shoulder a little, as if the simple closeness made the weight in his chest easier to carry.

[ᅠᛚᚨᚢᚠᛖᛁᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @DlS0WNED]

“ copper for your thoughts ”

she sat beside him, leaning close enough to give him a gentle nudge with her shoulder.

[‍ᅟ゛𝑨treus ‍ ‍. ‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ @spadomr]

He sits in silence, his gaze fixed somewhere far beyond the firelight.

fine lines creased her brow. the fragile smile that had lingered on her lips vanishing.

“ and why did you choose not to accompany him .ᐣ ... do you even know where he is now .ᐣ ”

[* ‍ 𝗸𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝘀 ‍𓈒 ‍ @pantheonskiller]

kratos falls silent for a moment at the mention of atreus . . . but then comes to answer .

“ i have told him to not come back until he has successfully hunted to eat tonight . ”

[ᅠᛚᚨᚢᚠᛖᛁᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @DlS0WNED]

a small nod. head tilting ever so slightly.

“ a feeling we both share, 𝑘𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘴. but you have not been alone. how is atreus .ᐣ ”

[* ‍ 𝗸𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝘀 ‍𓈒 ‍ @pantheonskiller]

“ you have a habit of remaining in my thoughts . your absence as of late has been . . . noticeable . i am glad you are here . ”

[ᅠᛚᚨᚢᚠᛖᛁᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @DlS0WNED]

a pause followed, lasting only a moment, yet carrying a subtle hint of uncertainty before a faint smile found its way upon her lips.

“ be careful not to sound too disappointed ”

[ᚨᛏᚱᛖᚢᛋ (ᛚᛟᚴᛁ) @SonofFaye]

Okay, he's definitely surprised now. "Mother? How are you here"?

[ᅠᛚᚨᚢᚠᛖᛁᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @DlS0WNED]

one hand came to rest upon her son’s shoulder.

“ you seem troubled ”

[ᚨᛏᚱᛖᚢᛋ (ᛚᛟᚴᛁ) @SonofFaye]

Where is his father, mother, or even Freya? He just wants someone to talk to.

[ᅠᛚᚨᚢᚠᛖᛁᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @DlS0WNED]

“ is that so .ᐣ then tell me ... what thoughts of me were keeping you occupied .ᐣ ”

[* ‍ 𝗸𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝘀 ‍𓈒 ‍ @pantheonskiller]

“ i —- hm . i was only thinking of you . ”

[ᅠᛚᚨᚢᚠᛖᛁᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @DlS0WNED]

“ i prefer it when you use your words to tell me your thoughts ”

[* ‍ 𝗸𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝘀 ‍𓈒 ‍ @pantheonskiller]

“ i believed you did not like when i did . . ”

[ᅠᛚᚨᚢᚠᛖᛁᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @DlS0WNED]

“ hmm ... ”

[ᅠᛚᚨᚢᚠᛖᛁᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @DlS0WNED]

a faint smile touched her lips. she tilted her head ever so slightly, allowing a few strands of hair to glide across her cheek.

“ how perceptive ... or perhaps i’m simply becoming far too easy to read ”

[𝙵𝚛𝚎𝚢𝚊 @VANlRGODDESS]

Sitting down nearby after handing Faye the tea, Freya took a careful, slow sip of her own before responding. Smile still present.

"Nothing at all, you looked like you could use some tea.

And a distraction from your thoughts."

[ᅠᛚᚨᚢᚠᛖᛁᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @DlS0WNED]

“ so ... not even a grunt .ᐣ ”
