by citon's tradition, mother's were typically treated highly with respect and gratitude for their service in raising their young. the 'greater' the mother became as they gained each generation, the further their respect was earned. such treatment was not seen often under echo's ruling, but holly's mother did not spare him any details of the forgotten tradition. even though his uncle had ceased many of his clans ancient traditions, his mother was sure to instill that one.
his grandmother had only appeared briefly in his life before passing to a sickness, but from the little time he spent with his mother and father he knew she was a respectable warrior, ferocious in her prime. she had given many cubs to citon and some had even been bargaining's for truce's or agreements back during his grandfather's reign. it was a foreign concept that the more modern citon never learned of, considering echo had turned his back on all their allies and forcefully merged into them, but a little piece of their history that was hard to forget.
though they held all this respect and love toward their clan mothers, holly couldn't remember if they specifically called for a day treated to them. he knew it would most definitely be something he remembered, and even participated in for his own mother, but he was running a blank. in the midst of him roamings it was roan's excitable announcement to roxanne that had made him curious.
the saber approached them with innocent intent, settling a few paces behind michael with a small smile on his face. he lowered his head down to murmur his question without interrupting. "could you tell me about mothers day? i'm not familiar with it where i'm from." he figured it was a day of dedication, but how to appropriately attend it was another thing. did they approach all mothers with this treatment, or just their own? was it yearly, monthly? he wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter, seeing all that they did for their young. he knew mouse had done her best with him and his brother despite the obstacles his uncle presented, and he would have repaid her better had he been given the chance.
