@BigBadHuntress “Yeah I guess so..” He swished his drink before taking a sip. “It’s just a lot sometimes...”

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

@BigBadHuntress - not being there, it wasn’t her fault. But it doesn’t change that she didn’t raise me..” He felt ashamed of how he felt, he loved his mother.. after all he did search for her. He just didn’t have that attachment.

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

@BigBadHuntress He frowned “She used to call me Ronan sometimes... I think he was her real son, she used to tell me about him a lot . She just took me so she could still have a son... at least that’s what I think. Still she taught me everything I know, she raised me. I’m not mad at mom for-

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

@BigBadHuntress He sighed, slumping forward. “I spent most of my life knowing Mallow as my mom, she kinda still is to a degree.. I know mom is trying but it’s not the same..”

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

@BigBadHuntress -magically normal now that she’s in my life. We just don’t.... we don’t have that relationship. I love her, she’s still my mom but sometimes I feel like she wants to much.”

His ears flattened, he hated admitting this, especially around his other mom.

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

@BigBadHuntress He frowned, unsure of how to put his thoughts to words. He and Lilac had been fighting, the two had a complicated relationship to say the least.. but that’s what happens when she wasn’t there for most of his life.

“I know she’s trying, I just.. I can’t act like things are just-

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

“I heard her yell and she didn’t sound ok... is there something I can do?”

He was like his mom in a lot of ways, especially his quiet demeanour. He was her son alright... and now that he finally had her in his life he didn’t want to let go.

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

@BigBadHuntress

“Is mom alright..?”

Soot asked quietly as Kam stepped out of her and Lilacs room after finally calming Lilac down enough for her to sleep.

Soot didn’t understand his mother’s issues, but how could he? He’d only been living with her for the past few months.-

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

@BigBadHuntress “I don’t know if I’d consider myself either of those things..” His ears flickered, sure he was an assassins son but he inherited none of his mothers more... dangerous aspects.

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

@MarrowLovesYou

He stares at Marrow, according to what information he could find, this man was with his mother. Maybe this man was his father. Both of his parents being canine faunus did make sense in his mind.

“Excuse me?” He approached Marrow. “You’re Marrow, yes?”

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

@BladesofAzura “Fine enough, I cant complain.” He shrugs while bandit continues to rest across his shoulders.

“You don’t seem fantastic, is there anything I can do for you?” He was always happy to help, it was just how he was. Sure he was his fathers son, but was different in many ways.

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

-Getting Soot wouldn’t be easy, she understood his dilemma in a way. She’d long since abandoned the hopes of reuniting with her birth parents, opting to remain by her adoptive fathers side until he passed.

She knew it was different, but still the comparison was an easy one.

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

“Right... I’ll try to get him home for the night.”

She leaned in to kiss her lover.

“I’ll come by in the morning, call me if you need anything. I love you... so much..”-

[ᴋᴀᴍɪʟᴀ ᴀᴢᴜʀᴀ @BigBadHuntress]

Kam gave a sigh and gently released her arm to tiredly shut her eyes.

"Go talk to him... I'm.. getting a bit tired..."

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

“I wasn’t ready for him then, the only reason I didn’t abort was because it would’ve killed me. You didn’t know me then Kammie.. I appreciate it I do.. but I couldn’t have taken care of him.”

[ᴋᴀᴍɪʟᴀ ᴀᴢᴜʀᴀ @BigBadHuntress]

"She had no right to steal him away from you, Lilac."

Kam murmurs firmly before reaching out and weakling grabbing her arm.

"You got BETTER... You were ready... And she ROBBED that from you."

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

“And he’s there waiting for her to wake up.. I love him, but I don’t know him.”

Her tail hung low, she had a great deal to think about.

“I can hardly take care of myself... look how well he turned out without me.”

[ᴋᴀᴍɪʟᴀ ᴀᴢᴜʀᴀ @BigBadHuntress]

"What?"

Kam sat up.. or tried to before wincing and lying back down.

"...Hell no. That woman KIDNAPPED him. Hurt him, Lilac. Maybe you weren't in the best shape before but you're here now and he came to YOU. Not her."

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

She was quiet as she thought to herself.

“...Do you think he was better off with her?”

[ᴋᴀᴍɪʟᴀ ᴀᴢᴜʀᴀ @BigBadHuntress]

"Gods she lived..."

Kam groaned... Before wincing.

"Wait- that sounds awful..."

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

“He’s with her...”

She frowned.

“After the doctor finished with him he came to see you and then went to find wherever they have Mallow.”

The two had been distant since arriving at the hospital, each with a different priority.

[ᴋᴀᴍɪʟᴀ ᴀᴢᴜʀᴀ @BigBadHuntress]

"...Cmon... You know me... I'm far too stubborn to die..."

She quietly took comfort in the other... Before pausing.

"Soot... Where is he?"

[Soot Willows @SonOfWillows]

She placed a gentle hand on the side of Kams face.

“You’re ok...”

Tears welled in her eyes as she cupped her lovers cheek. Soot on the other hand was nowhere in sight, nor was Bandit.

[ᴋᴀᴍɪʟᴀ ᴀᴢᴜʀᴀ @BigBadHuntress]

Her eyes found focus on her lover's face and she smirks slightly... As much as she can with the split lip.

"....Hey...you..."

Her voice was rough from sleep and lack of water... And she winces at the sound of if.
