“I think you’re right. I can’t remember any heroes that had adventures after having kids.” The last bit is accompanied by a cheeky smile. She knows how much her mothers work to keep the five of their lot happy and healthy. Mostly, she wants to be a little silly to help lighten the mood.
When her mother scoops her up, Nel uses one arm to take up a loop of her hair to anchor it away from her neck so it can trail over the grass without pulling. Her other arm goes over her mother’s shoulder to hold on during the short walk to the porch.
Set down together, Nel snuggles in close to her mother and stays quiet with anticipation. She watches upward with her recently turned gold eyes, and listens when her mother reveals what has kept her knotted for months. A werewolf is her link.
There is barely a beat before Nel asks the very first thing to pop into her head, “Does that mean you’ll be able to smell as good as Grandpa?” Nel is not a stranger to the darker depictions of werewolves in media, but those are stories. This is her Mum.
