Hearing her name, the white mother placed the candles down on the nearest shelf and went out the observatory doors, leaning out to see who beckoned to her (as the voice had been slightly muffled by the walls of the tree hut). The scent was unmistakable after, and Ralla was a bit disappointed that her son still insisted on calling her by her first name. There had been a time, once, when he would call her 'mom', and when he was so vigorous in his play. These days he was more sullen, and distanced himself from her...
"Ahiga? Ale nihi?" The white woman padded a few steps down the planks that led from the observatory to the main platform, where she then looked over the ledge and saw her son standing down there. Ralla gestured with one arm for him to come up. "Galutsv, galutsv; dulinohelv ayv hilago nihi nanadvnehv. Tsinulistanv wuwedol ganvhida onitsuwagudv itsula uha untsvgi." She said this with no ill intent to make her son feel guilt, but as an enticement that he might indulge her. She so wanted to be a part of her children's lives again that she thirsted to be with them, even if some of them decided to be apart... And how that hurt her, sometimes...but she could not help it, it seemed; she had, after all, raised them to be free spirits... Sometimes she wondered if she had nurtured that sentiment too far.
Moon walks. "Moon talks." Moon thinks.
