She knew that she wasn't the young maiden that she used to be, but she was nowhere near ready to give up her spirit and waste away the rest of her days on Paradise, just content and settled. That wasn't her style at all. Maybe when her legs could no longer support the swim to the Crossing would she decide to slow it down, but until then, the world was still her oyster. She noticed Rougaru had a few more gray hairs himself, but if anything, it only made him more handsome and regal in her eyes. He would always be her lizard king, even when he could no longer defend the crown. She hoped one day to show him as much, but it was far too early to be going soft in the affection category. She still had too much time of harassing and nipping him to give in just yet. Seeing her older son made her heart lift with joy. She wanted to stay semi-close to all her children. It still hurt that she hadn't seen Medusa yet, but she would be remedying that soon enough. It seemed another trip to the Inlet was in order. When she told her son about grief, he was quick to ask about Zjeena. Even the mention of her name was like the stab of an arrow through her chest. Monster couldn't help but flinch a little, but as she let out a sigh, she nodded in confirmation. "She was very dear to me. My heart will heal, but it will take time." She didn't want her son to think she was just going to lay down and die any time soon, but she wanted him to understand that grieving was okay. It didn't mean she was weak. It just meant that she could feel. It was nice to see his whole face light up when she asked about himself, though. It brightened her own eyes as Loupgaru grinned and launched into his tale. He proudly told her how he helped save the herd from a big black cat and how Rougaru was there with him. She couldn't help but chuckle as he bragged about not running away. She was sure Rougaru had a mini stroke in that instant. He said that he ran the cat off but his father helped a little. She gave a wry smile, tilting her head in amsement as she finished listening to his story. Pride gleamed in her two toned gaze. Then he tried to shrug it off as no big deal, saying he could protect the herd. Her smile softened as she reached out, nuzzling at his cheek. "That's where you're wrong, my son. Protecting the herd from such a beast if a very big deal. You probably saved lives. The cats like to prey on the young foals that will be born soon in the spring. That was a very brave thing you did. I'm glad your father was there to help you, though. It doesn't make you weak to work as a team. Herds united are invincible." Her eyes glowed with happiness as she studied her growing son. He was already so strong and independent. It wouldn't be long before he was conquering the world, himself. And she couldn't wait to see it.
