Just as her son surmised, Funayurei felt... different. She still didn't know what had come over her the last time she saw Vincent Nail. She'd always heard of a mother mouse facing a wolf to protect her children, but she always assumed she didn't even have a mouse's strength. Ever since she had met Vincent that first time, some part of her had always been given over to fear of him. It had occupied a place in her mind so long that she had forgotten things were ever different. She wouldn't have thought herself capable of facing such a fear, and yet she had. Here she stood, knowing that she could stand up to someone like him.
A wind blew, carrying beautiful pink petals away with it. Maybe she was more like a flower than a mouse, hiding within bare branches throughout a long winter. Like the flowers, she felt like even a gentle breeze might carry her newfound growth away.
"Oh yes, they are," she replied absently, realizing she hadn't yet responded to her son.

"When were you planning on telling me?!"
Those were the last audible words that Funayurei caught from the argument before they slipped far enough away to be out of earshot. As they got further away, she could still hear them, but it became a distant muffled sound. It gave her a note of melancholy to hear the two of them continue. They clearly were passionate about each other, even if that passion was turning to anger now. She had never felt passion like that.
"Not with a mate, at least," she internally corrected herself. She had loved very strongly in her life, just not romantically. She loved Jetsam with just that much strength, she knew that. She loved little Treasure too, the filly from the basket that Jetsam had found, now a young mare.
"Oh, lilacs." She gave a slow blink of appreciation as they emerged into a new grove of flowers. The smell was intense and she almost sneezed when she was hit with its full force.
