Persy nodded. "I will make sure to fulfill that promise, my little tiger." she said softly. She gave him a small smile. "I'm just going to keep hoping that he will return to me. Even if I don't deserve him anymore. I'm still going to hope." she said, looking away for a second distractedly. "As for the most pretty mother...I seriously doubt that but thank you anyway."
Persy then smiled. "She does have Kieran's charm doesn't she. Even if she displays it in a different way from him, she defiantly has it." she said. She could see so much of Kierans mannerisms in her children, Nyx had defiantly gotten his charm though.
Persy smiled weakly. "I'm glad you're doing well and that Ara is with you during this time in your life. Hopefully by the time you're back everything will be better for everyone. We can only hope can't we?"

Dracal nodded with a gentle smile before nuzzling him. "But you do deserve him, mama. You need someone to take care of you when I can't." He flicks his tail as he gets onto the floor. He gets up on his hind legs as he had been practicing for the last several weeks. He smiled up to her, saying softly. "Look, mama.. I can already stand like you." He looks over to a pillow then uses all of his strength to send a strong punch to the middle of it. "This is what I am teaching myself.. How to be stronger.. as well as emotionally strength. That is what being a tiger all about, mama."
He nodded softly while listening to her. ".. She does, mama. The best thing about her is that she trusts me with her life.. She cares about me.. She doesn't think that I am different or anything like that." He mews happily at the thought. He jumps high into the air to show her his roundhouse kick. "When the time is right.. I want to teach her how to punch and kick. It would help her body get stronger."
He nodded softly as he purrs gently. "...I am fine for now.. I told Morph whats going on. He had to know, mama." He sighed gently while tilting his head up at her. "..It may be hard at first but you were the one that taught me everything I know.. I'll use that knowledge the best I can, mama." He grins gently before perking up. "I forgot!" He moves to the windowstill and grabs a freshly bloomed Jasmine flower. "I got this for you, mama." He trots slightly on his hind legs towards her with the flower in his hand. "It just bloomed tonight. It made me thought of you and Nyx.. I put some on her pillow for her to see when she wakes up before getting one for you...I love you, mama."

Persy smiled, a little sadly at Dracal. "Loving someone doesn't nessesarily mean taking care of the Dracal. love is much more then that, though that is a factor in it." Dracals idea of love was still so innocent, which Persy was secretly quite happy about. The last thing she wanted to know was her adopted sons lustful feelings for her daughter. Persy the smiled softly. "Well done Dracal, I know you'll grow up to be very strong. I alway knew you would." she said quietly.
Persy nodded. She knew what Dracal was saying was true. What she was afraid about was if all these things Nyx felt for him were nothing but sibling love for the kitten. All of these things that Dracal said made Nyx so special to him were all things that would mearly be interpreted as sisterly love from Nyxs point of view. "We'll see. For now I'm still trying to convince myself that she wont hurt herself when she's dancing." Persy said quietly. She did not need the stress of Nyx's constant health worries on her plate at this time.
Persy smiled as Dracal gave her the flower. "Thank you Dracal, that's so thoughtful of you." She really did appreciate the gesture. She could see how much her son was trying to make her feel better but her brain just ddn't seem to care, it just didn't want to leave its haze of gloom. She pulled Dracal toward her, hugging him tightly. "I love you Dracal....you're such a good boy." she said quietly, weakly.

Dracal frowned as he heard the emotions behind the tone of his adopted mother's voice. He nuzzled her as she had hugged him. "I try to be for you, mama." He licks her on the cheek softly before tilting his head at her. "..What does Love mean to you, mama? I am still learning about relationships and love." He purrs loudly as he listens to her about Nyx.
"Mother.. She'll be fine. I have been watching her from a distance where she cannot see me... She is determined to be a ballerina. I am proud of her."
Dracal smiled as he saw her face light up slightly at the flower. "I hoped you would like it, Mama.. You and Nyx are the most prettiest girls in the world." He said with a purring smile. "..Want me to spend the night with you, Mama? I know that you have been lonely... and scared.. Am I right?"

Persy didn't have to think for a second about what love meant to her. "To me, Dracal, love is mutual understanding, and caring more than anything in the world for each other and that being the only person in the entire world that you could ever see yourself with...and of course, you have to be attracted to the person aswell..."she trailed off, blushing slightly as she though.
"I know she'll be fine Dracal but she's still not well, still not normal. You heard what the doctor said about her health the last trip. That her life will be much shorter than a normal cats, that she'll probably never be able to have children, that her very future will be cut short. I know thats far away and I know it's not descided but it's still frightening to think about."
Persy wasn't sure what to reply. She didn't want her own son to be worried about her because of this. She didn't want her son to think she was lonely and scared. "If you'd like to Dracal..." she said quietly. "Nyx has been sleeping in my bed with me aswell. It's not really nessesary though..." she added hastily.

Dracal listens to her and smiled softly. "I know what I am doing, mama.. I know what the doctor said. She wanted me to be with her on that last trip there.. Remember? I still want to be with her, mama. Love is a precious thing to have. I have been there for her. She needs me, mama..I can tell." He flicks his tail sadly while looking up at her.
"I do want to stay with you, mama. I know she'll be around. I know I want her to see me.. but I doubt she would want me around." He kisses her on the cheek. "I'll do what I can to help you, mama. I promise. Do not fret, mama. You are never truely alone. The goddesses are watching over you and me.. especially over our little Nyx." He smiled softly as he knew that Nyx would be fine. He especially knew the risks of being with her but yet he still wanting to be with her. "Mom.. Love knows no bounds.. no age.. no race. I may outlive her but think of it this way.. If you knew how long you have in life.. would you skip out on love itself? I think not. Think of how Nyx would feel as she got older, mama."

Persy looked at Dracal tiredly but a little sadly. "I truly wish that love knew no bounds Dracal but I have to tell you that, in all truth, is not always true I'm afraid. You have to learn this I'm afraid. It seemed I was far to naive as a kit and even more so as I got older. I understand how you feel, my darling, I really do but I hate to say that love is not that simple. I wish for Nyx to live her life to the fullest but I also have to do everything within my power to preserve what little life she will have and just hope that she at least outlives me. But it's difficult to be optimistic I'm afraid. I want her to have all the things anyone needs, a life filled with love. I know that she's grown up with it and it should continue that way but all the same I can't help but protect her. I know I worry to much but she's already almost died in my arms far too many times." she muttered quietly.

Dracal looked towards his mother and nuzzles her. "Mama... She is out there doing things.. She'll be fine...Her spirit is strong. She doesn't let anything get to her." He flicks his tail while looking up at her. "I know you want all that for her. I do too, mama. I know all of the risks you have told me, I still want to be with her. My heart yearns for her. It is better to have loved in life than not at all." He says as he remembered reading some of the stuff that humans had wrote so long ago.
He tilts his head. "Mom.. I am learning as I grow. You are still my teacher and my mother. You always will be no matter what I become in this family.. I may have left as a son but who knows what I will become to you.. maybe a son-in-law. We shouldn't look to the past as a bad thing but as a lesson to help us guide our souls down certain pasts... I'll protect Nyx.. I'll watch over her. Do not take such a weigh onto your shoulders, mama. Let me be the one that have that weight." He sighs gently as he looks up at her with a soft smile. "Are you hungry, mama? I can get some tuna sandwiches from the kitchen if you like." He jumps down onto the floor then looked up into her eyes. "Just trust me, mother.. She'll be fine. I'll be fine.. I still will wait for her." He wanted to try to help her relax and not worry so much but wasn't sure what else he could say to her.

Persy only sighed as Dracal kept talking. She loved this boy with all her heart, after all she had taken him in and cared for him as her own but sometime she couldn't help feel that he was a bit too optimistic and naive. This was one of the traits that Persy herself contained, as did Nyx but while it seemed to aid Nyx and give her hope it had just caused Persy a whole lot of trouble. Trouble that she would never regret because it made Kieran hers and gave her her kittens whom she loved so much, even if she didn't show it but the same naiveity almost killed Kieran and had turned her into the ghost of a cat she now was. But she would let him be optimistic, she was sure he needed to be.
Persy then shook her head. "No that you love. I'm really not that hungry." the thin cat said. She was telling the truth, she hadn't really been hungry since Kieran left. If she tried to eat her stomach would usually attempt to throw it up later so she ate what she could when she was feeling up to it and drank a lot so she wouldn't die. "I do trust you Dracal, I do."

Dracal looked towards her with a sad smile, moving to her once again. He nuzzled her gently. "You sure, mama? I can get you something to drink or something." He smiled at her words and nods slowly. "I am glad that you do trust me, mama. I'll figure something out for me. After all, you taught me things and they will help me in life."
He purrs gently as he looked up at her. "Mama.. Just remember.. you aren't alone in this.. You got your other sons and Nyx. We'll all try to help you. Just meow out for me if you ever need me or the others."
He wasn't sure if he could ever get her to understand why he still wanted to be in Nyx's life. He looks up into her eyes and smiled faintly. "Nyx will be fine, mama.. Just worry about Daddy...I will try to go and apologize when I can.. Hopefully soon. Ishtar and I aren't... in good terms anymore." He said with a growl. "Sorry about that, mama. I just..don't understand why he would be so..ignorant and let me just tell Dad that I am sorry. My intentions were good." He knew that he would have to battle either Keiran.. or Ishtar later in life.

Persy shook her head of red hair defiantly. "No thank you Dracal, I'm perfectly fine right now." she said quietly. All this talk of her love was taking a bit of a toll on the cat and her body was reacting that way it had been for the last while, making her feel horribly sick. "I don't know if I taught you the right thinks." she muttered softly. Her life had turned into a train wreck so quickly that she was starting to doubt everything she had ever done. Especially since her talk with Valiant.
She smiled down at Dracal softly. "I know I'm not alone...but I think I need to figure out how to be. I've been relying on Kieran far to much. I don't know what to do with myself now that he's not with me." she said sadly. She had been taking care of the family the best she could but everything was splitting at the seams, leaving her in chaos.
Persy looked at Dracal a little sadly. "I think you have to understand something Dracal. Ishtar left because Kieran and I weren't paying enough attention to him, exactly the same reason the others left. Then he's asked one day to treat his father, whom he hardly even knows for attempted suicide. I'm sure he was very stressed." she said quietly, sadly. No child should ever have to deal with something like that.
