It was amazing how his mere presence never failed to radiate warmth, like sunlight shinning through the cloudiest days. Would he ever realize how special he really was? His smile, the one he bore every single day, never failed to baffle her. The last few months had been a blur; it felt like she'd woken up one day to find her baby boy all grown up. An adult rank had been assigned to him just recently. Perhaps this promotion was the source of her inner turmoil; the passage from Surculus to Silva was not to be taken lightly. With adult ranks came a great deal of responsibilities. Already, the Acer could foresee the path he would follow; one similar to Cwmfen's, one that would require him to protect Dahlia de Mai with his life. Accepting such a thing wasn't easy for Alexey; never would she have been able to predict that their roles would one day be reversed. He was the one taking care of her now.
His size struck her the most when, in a huff of relief, she'd thrown both of her arms around him. There was no hesitation as she embraced him affectionately, in the same motherly way she'd always used. "Coco!" she exclaimed jubilantly, creamy tail thrashing back and forth. A few seconds were spared for Alco, who also received part of the love she had to give. Delicate fingers moved to the back of the tangerine creature's receivers, lightly scratching the top of his head like she'd done a million times before. The Caregiver's attention then returned to the adolescent boy standing before her, seemingly towering over her small frame. "Oh, nothing." A few seconds of silence sprung forth while she assessed the second part of her answer. "I was just waiting for you two to come home," she admitted, gesturing to their smaller friend, as if her explanation hadn't been clear enough. ""Haven't seen much of you lately. Where have you been, mister?!"
