"More like they see-saw back and forth arguing," she chuckled. "But they do love each other very much."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik

“Dead.” He shrugged, turning Aenyra down the road towards Tove’s place.

"Ah." She didn't know what that was like; she had given up on her human parents and her fathers didn't seem in any hurry to Pass yet. "I'm sorry to hear that."
(It's off the road, deep in the woods. She's kind of reclusive, being a witch and all)

“All good.” He shrugged, not usually one to talk much about his parents. “It’s been well over a decade at this point. It’s… well it still hurts. But not as sharply as it did. I’m over it.”

Eventually Tove turned off the road and into the woods, moving some bushes aside with her staff. "Was it not a peaceful death, then?"

“Mm… my mama got very sick,” Aeron said, following after him. “Spend most of her last week coughing up a lung. I think she was ready to go; to get the relief.”

"I'm sorry," she said again, frowning. "Couldn't you have gone to a madre or walder?"

“I didn’t know anything about that at the time.” He shook his head. “We were very poor and I was very young… I don’t think there were any around us near enough I could have gotten to on my own. And if there were I didn’t know about them.”

"Mm." She wasn't sure what to say to that; human death made her uncomfortable even on her best day. She was a human, true, but she'd already lived longer than a normal one twice over thanks to the fae magic her fathers had taught her.

Aeron shrugged. “Like I said, it’s been a long time. It’s all good. I know she’s resting now, which she deserves.”

"Certainly." She paused, then swept out her staff. The air grew thick in front of her, and there was a squeal from the bushes and the sound of something running off. Tove huffed and continued on her way.

"Redcap." She glanced back at him. "There's a bit of an infestation. I'm trying to train Ruben to actually kill them instead of stunning them but he just likes to play with them."
