It had been a long day at work and Tambre was rather glad when she finally got home and was able to relax. She nearly collapsed into the nearest chair to get off her aching feet. Kiessi and Lorek were staying at school tonight since she was getting home so late tonight, which seemed to be the norm anymore. She loved her job, but sometimes she couldn't help but wish she could take a break and spend more time with her two kids. She was sure it would die down eventually, but it didn't mean she didn't miss the two of them when her cases got like this.
This particular case though had her feeling a bit out of sorts. She couldn't exactly explain it, but seeing that mother so full of anguish... It made her wish there was something she could do to reassure her, but there wasn't, nothing could bring back a life that was taken. She couldn't imagine what life would be like if she lost either one of her children, they may have been adopted, but they were her whole life.
She pulled off her boots, trying to get some air to her feet to get them to stop throbbing. After taking a moment, she washed her hands and began to prepare herself a small meal. This was becoming the norm, eating alone. She didn't blame the kids for wanting to stay at the Academy when she worked this late, but there was something that made her wish someone would be there when she got home, waiting for her. She missed making dinners for all three of them and she knew when she was home alone that she didn't eat near as healthy as she did when they were around, some days she'd even go without eating at all. They made her a better person, and she felt like that was missing when they were.
When her meal was finally finished, she sat down at the small wooden table and pulled out the newspaper, skimming through different articles when one for the Stone Bank caught her eye. She nearly froze, staring at it for a long while. Something struck a cord in her and she couldn't help but feel her heart lurch. Was she seriously thinking about having a child? This wasn't something she'd usually put much stock in. Her own genetics weren't exactly something she liked, her own race sickened her most of the time, her own family especially. However, she couldn't stop looking at the article, her own mind racing with the possibility of having another child, a child that, perhaps, even looked like her. That wasn't to say she didn't love her two boys, she loved them more than life itself and she would always feel that way about them, but sometimes she wondered what it would be like to actually imbue a stone, something she had never done before.
Would they hate her? She couldn't help the feeling that perhaps Kiessi and Lorek wouldn't be all that happy about her bringing in a child that was actually blood related to her. She was worried about what they might think if she did such a thing. She sighed, and put the paper down, nibbling her lower lip in thought. She'd talk to them and see what they thought, and if they approved she'd go straight to the bank and finally imbue a stone.
