"We're all just stories in the end."
The purple roan's mane had fallen over her face, partially concealing it. As the conversation went on she was glad for this veil, it helped her hide her emotions better until she could sort them out. Despite knowing what would make everyone here happy — not just herself — a swath of stubbornness was trying to take over.
He's already had them for a long time, time for the reverse to be true. That was the idea her stubbornness argued. But logic dictated that she would still be happy if Desi tagged along, even if it'd take some getting used to. Of course, the foals would be happier if the entire family was together and she wasn't even mentioning Desiderius' feelings... She took in a breath as she snapped back into reality, her daughter's voice causing her to tune back in.
Kassandra listened to Desi as he said it was fine if she took them, and recalled back to Viatrix asking if he could come too. Would he—
did he even want to stay? She was not the best at reading other kelpies, being raised a loner and all. But she knew him, and not only that, she'd loved him. Her thoughts were darting off in all directions, and she quickly tried to contain them. However, a question popped up and shattered any sort of containment that she had created for her thoughts.
Do I still love him? What a terribly idiotic thing to let loose in her dreaming, artistic mind. She was connecting a relatively simple problem into a million unasked questions. Her eyes closed a moment and time seemed to slow. Finally, she reined her thoughts in as she realized how much she was over-thinking this. Her eyes opened and it was done and over with within a few moments.
Now she could see the sadness within his smile and the disappointment in his voice. While he was right about her being unsure of the idea of him coming with her, reason and empathy won out.
"If your father wants to come with us, he is very welcome to, Viatrix." Kass replied to her filly, and tossed her mane out of her face. This revealed her electric purple eyes that were and had been fixed on Desiderius.
