Tyiva let out a chuckle at her daughter’s reaction to the idea of food. “I’m sure there’s plenty left from yesterday. If not I’ll ask them to bring more from the baker.” To think that she had gone from making due with whatever she could hunt to ordering breakfast from another! Though Tyiva could not complain considering the delicacies she had enjoyed since moving to Oba. She was slowly learning more and more about baking herself and branching out from just knowing how to make the best stews and roasts around. Admittedly I may enjoy sweets a bit too much. She confessed silently before glancing towards Xylia and slowing nodding in response to her next question.
“I suppose if you behave today and get plenty of rest tonight then we can do this tomorrow. We can also train afterwards once the sun has risen.” She wanted her daughter to rest more so her usual training would have to wait until after the sunrise. The last thing she wanted was Xyila to want to be up before dawn again without rest.

“I’ll be so well behaved that you won’t even notice me.” Promised Xylia with a grin as she settled in next to her mother. “Do you think I could also start training with the blades soon, Mama?” She asked before daring to peek towards Tyiva. “It looks so beautiful when you practice that I would love to learn.” Her mother always told her that she was young and still had a long ways to go before making any decisions but Xylia did know that she would like to try. Her mother always looked so elegant, almost like a painting or a dancer, whenever she trained with her blades.

“Ah.” Tyiva gave another low chuckle as she sat next to her daughter and watched the rising sun. “I was wondering when that question was coming up again.” She teased lightly before pausing a moment to ponder her daughter’s request. “I suppose….we may think about it. Perhaps not with real blades but I could ask and get a pair of wooden ones or dulled ones so you could learn the steps at least.” Xylia was getting older now after all. The thought made Tyiva somewhat sad considering how quickly she felt her children were growing. Couldn’t they simply stay babies forever so that she could coddle them and keep them close? Would she be like her own mothers and have to send them off into the world one day with no idea of when they would come home next? The thought made her chest tighten with sorrow and she found herself reaching an arm over to tug Xyila closer in a hug. “Let’s just enjoy this scene for now, okay?”

“That works.” Replied Xylia quickly. She was definitely agreeable to any step forward towards training even if it meant she couldn’t use real weapons just yet. She already treasured the little wooden toy bow that her mother had gotten her and now had the promise of more training weapons for the future. A step at a time. She reminded herself as she did her best to stay patient with the whole process. Plus, it was really pretty to see the sun rising so why waste a morning arguing with her mother? Satisfied with everything so far, Xylia leaned into Tyiva’s hug and enjoyed their simple moment together.
A truly good start to the day, indeed.

Tyiva smiled as she realized that her daughter was happy enough with her offer. The last thing she wanted to worry about was her children harming themselves on a pair of true hunting blades, but she could do with them learning with practice weapons. I suppose time really does fly. She thought quietly to herself as she settled there with her daughter and watched the last few moments of the sunrise. They could linger here a while longer and then head home for the day. After all it seemed that she would need every possible moment to rest with training coming up in their very near future.
