Medium he/they Posted October 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Quote mrs. corvus* 10 minutes ago, The Wandering Wizard said: Emma walks up to Calano and looks at Calano's mom. "Hi, Mrs. Corvus." Eliza Corvus immediately wraps her son in a hug and begins to cry as well. After a few tearful seconds, she reaches out and drags Emma into the hug as well. "You- You're back," She said, stepping back and holding Calano's face in her hands, "You came back. You came home." She laughs, and cries, all at the same time. "I did," Calano says, "I did, I'm sorry it took so long. There's so much to tell." Eliza quickly beckons the couple inside, "Please, Emma, I've known you since you were a child, call me Eliza." Calano takes in his mother before walking inside. She's done her hair up in a tight bun, and wears a neutral colored gray blouse tucked into her jeans. She looks... motherly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her smile fades. She takes Emma and Calano's hands. "We've... tried to find our way to you. Wherever we sent you, we haven't been able to open a portal to again. So, we'd accepted the fact that you had either died, or you were just waiting until the Scourge was over, then you would come and search. The four of us, me, Eric, and your parents, Emma, we all spent many sleepless nights wondering after your fate." Eliza walks into the kitchen. "Eric is downtown, working on a project. He still won't tell me what it is, he insists it's a surprise. But he'll be home later. Emma, do you want me to call your parents, invite them over?"

This is still quite a shock. It's alright though. I'm here with you. Eliza, ever perceptive, picks up on the attitude change. "Do you need a moment before that, Emma? To gather yourself?" Calano puts a hand on Emma's shoulder, rubbing it affectionately. "If you need a moment, dear, you can take one." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medium he/they Posted October 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Quote way ahead of ya- it's time for mother son bonding HAHAHAAAAA oh im gonna embarrass the HELL outta Calano Eliza turns around with a sly grin. "You and Emma, huh? Can't say I'm surprised." Calano blushes, grins, and rolls his eyes, all at once. "Mom, I just found you. You're really gonna start our reunion conversation like this?" "Oh absolutely," Eliza says, the grin not leaving her face. Calano sighs, and holds up his hand, the ring styled like a raven on his finger. Eliza's jaw drops. "Married?? Ok, now I'm surprised." Calano grins again. "This is technically our honeymoon. We got married like 2 days ago." Eliza smiles so wide, Calano fears her face is going to split apart. Then it vanishes. "You mean to tell me, you got married, and you didn't invite me?" She says, deathly serious. Calano pales. "Uhh, well, we didn't know if you or her parents or Dad were alive... so... and searching would have delayed the wedding, and people had already RSVPed and bought/made gifts, and-" He's interrupted by Eliza laughing. "Relax, son, it's fine. I understand." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Mell had said, many people stared, pointing and whispering. One small girl of about seven years old ran up to them, offering Kareena, Jove, TAAron, @Nameless, and @The Halcyon Girl each a flower in turn. The flowers looked very odd, with long, straight stems and dozens of petals alternating between white and a deep blue. As they watched, the blue seemed to shift subtly, though not in a way that was easy to describe. Mell looked surprised. "They knew we were coming."

Played out very similarly how I had imagined. Emma's face turns red as she feels Calano's embarrassment and it slowly begins to cool. Is that how it's gonna be with my parent? Hmmm. Oops, sorry dear, that was a retorical question. Emma turns around sensing a pile of shadows and she goes to it, and starts to tinker around with it. I think I finally figured this out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flower is called the Lumont, and is has some heavy symbolic significance to the people. Recently it has become a symbol of the king, who naturally is an otherworlder as you are." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Kareena can go ahead and try to get through, but the wall will be solid to her. Mell has to do a thing first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
