Welcome to Gaia! ::

She winced as her son said that his sister didn't like him. Kalliope didn't think he was right but he wasn't wrong either. The way Brexxa behaved sometimes said she wasn't too happy to have siblings at all. Then again, she'd caught the older girl checking in on her sleeping siblings when she thought no one was looking. Kalli hadn't said anything because she didn't want to draw attention to the act.

"She does like you she just.. isn't like your other siblings. She's not used to having such a large family." Granted it had been years now but the Oban was sure it was simply spite that made Brexxa act out. "She knows what each of you like, so she pays attention to you." She pointed out to the little boy.

Kalliope gave an apologetic look at her youngest. She didn't want to yell at him for expressing his feelings but she didn't really want him to name a cactus after his sister. "Don't you think that might hurt her feelings?" Maybe if she got him to think of it as being mean then he would reconsider?

During their conversation she had been walking them toward the market, specifically where the flower vendors were. As they got closer and she could see the greens and bright colors of the blooms she tried to change the subject. "Oh look." Her other hand pointed toward some of the pink flowers she saw.

She worried about how her son wanted to name something after his sister. It would likely cause an argument between the two and make the gap even worse. Kalliope couldn't really stop him though, she could only suggest he try to think of his sibling's feelings.

With him distracted with the flowers she smiled and nodded. She walked with him over to where he wanted to go to look at the flowers. If she could get him one he wanted then maybe he would forget about the grudge he had for a little bit. It would give her time to talk to Gael and maybe even Brexxa.
