CONFETTI & CONFESSIONS
[align=center]
The candy sucker fell from Frightfur’s mouth and dashed itself into the earth as the calico Advisor appeared from the foliage. The little serval’s pupils shrunk to pin pricks and back again. His mouth suddenly felt dry.
”Mo—m?” he coughed the word and his mind went reeling.
He had so much to tell her. He’d found out too much about himself since they’d last looked at each other. He really didn’t think he’d ever be back here again. How could he explain he had memories from lives he felt were his at some earlier time? How he was a soul recycled from the past to be born again…in present time to her, to be her child.
He winced (this time not from the angry injury to his chest) when Jiyu stepped back. Was she afraid? Did she not wish to see him again? What was wrong? ”Mom, I’m sorry I’ve been gone so long… I meant to visit but I got caught up. But look! I’m in trouble right now and—“
The drawl was cut short as another figure startled him. Fright’s titanium teeth clenched as he readied himself, nervous momentarily at the sight of creature so much bigger and more mystical than even himself. Yet, this lion held no ignorance or anger but intelligence.
The Seraphim’s nuclear waste eyes darted once over Jiyu and then back to Sephiroth. At least, he had their attention. He shifted his weight from one mechanical forepaw to the other. ”I was attacked two nights ago by a stranger who’d come into the town I used to call home. I had tried to make a life for myself there, but I believe I was targeted. I’ve run away now and this is the only place I know. I don’t mean to drag trouble with me, but y’all wouldn’t mind if I stayed awhile and kept quiet?”
It was worth a shot. His mother was here and just maybe he’d be safe in the place the Rosebloods called home. The pain in his chest reminded him of something else and he added quickly,”And don’t worry about me! I can take care of myself...I know how to heal good enough to know I’m in fine hands.” He didn’t want Jiyu to worry and he didn’t want them calling some healer of theirs to come prod and poke him about his ugly chest wound. He just really, really didn’t need that right now.
