Perhaps it was a good thing that her children weren't around, given the fact that Aphra hadn't been a very good mother to them. She wasn't abusive - or at least, doesn't remember being abusive - but she certainly neglected them. Which was arguably much worse than actually abusing them, in her mind. Aphra felt horrible at the realization that she outright neglected her kids, wondering if they hated her. They would have a right to. Wouldn't they?

Someone brushing up against her made Aphra jump slightly, but once she realized it was Roan, she relaxed. Seeing the medic carry flowers surprised her and when he revealed they were for her, Aphra couldn't help but allow the tears she was holding back to fall. Although with his gift, they were certainly out of happiness. Even if she didn't have her actual kids around anymore, she did have the young ones of The Typhoon to watch over. "Oh, Roan, thank you, Cariño! Her accent was probably atrocious and to be honest, she wasn't even sure if she was using this word right. But she was trying to learn Spanish since she heard Roxanne and her kids speaking it all the time, so she figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to try and learn it. That being said, reading from a box and sounding out the words and not knowing whether or not it was right was probably a bad idea on her part.

Aphra truly felt warmed by Roan's actions and she felt like her body was about to burst due to the sheer happiness she felt. She felt like someone liked her and loved her enough to get her a gift, even despite these hard times. She was certainly crying, but now it was out of happiness.[glow=COLOR,1,400] ━ ✧*:･ﾟ[/glow]
