OUT ON THE CURB AGAIN ☆ late mother's day

[michael t.]

Feeling a grin slowly spread across his face as soon as he heard Roxie, Michael found himself purring before long, gently pressing into his sister's side, "Beloved privateer? Oh Rox, you'll make me blush." A soft hum left him as Roxie turned his attention to their gift, his ears perking when he heard Hollow's Creek. Satisfied that Roan could deal with his mother's appreciation, the bobcat turned to Hollow's Creek and muttered simply, his short stump of a tail flicking to and fro behind him, "Mother's day? Ah, well... I never really did much for it back when I was little, but I still knew what it was about. Basically it's a day all about appreciating the mother's in your life and all they did for you. Your mother, grandmothers, even your friends who are mothers... or in my case, my sister. Usually you show your appreciation with little gifts or mementos. Roan and I are a little late on our gift giving, since the kid's been so busy with his sage duties." Despite the fact that Michael had never had a mother who cared about him enough to really celebrate mother's day with her, he had certainly learned about it. He had even daydreamed once or twice what it would've been like to have a mother who actually loved him he could've celebrated. The thought made his expression darken for a moment, and he hastily turned back to Roxie and Roan, trying to clear his thoughts.

Roan seemed almost delighted as he watched his mother unwrap their gift, the sage's long tail flicking from side to side behind him. He sucked in an anticipatory breath when  she began to unwrap it, his blue eyes lighting up when he saw the expression of delight on her face. He watched as Michael chuckled and returned his sister's nuzzle, before the apprentice let out a soft surprised noise, tugged into his mother's grip. He began to laugh as he was peppered in kisses, feeling a wave of happiness and general sentimentality come over him as he looked up at his mother. Things had been difficult for him to reconcile with after the whole lightning incident, but it seemed as though he had really made his mother happy, and that was good enough for him. Gently pressing his head into the thick fluff around her chest and neck, Roan found himself mumbling lovingly, "I'm really glad you like it, mama. Y te amo tanto." He wasn't sure quite how much he could really believe he was his mother's finest gift after all he had done, but this was certainly a start.
