Eclipse sat and listened to the man, the tiny boy clutched in her arms as she heard the tale. It certainly wasn’t a happy one and she felt bad for Saul. He had been through so much though he still seemed strong and wise. Even though she cringed at his words when he got to the part where he was drunk and mated with a wolf he barely know, she felt bad for him. She didn’t know getting drunk meant one tended to lose their mind, or the drink befuddled it, she had yet to experiment with alcohol. She felt horrible at the way Siku treated Saul and wished things had went a different way. Even Gideon... he refused to come back even to his mate, the few times she had met with him... well he never seemed the type of wolf to just up and leave. Then again Eclipse wasn’t either, though she didn’t really have too much other than family to hold her down. She continued as he spoke, talking about how he had come to recieve his son and she looked down at his sleeping form, a small smile on her face. Once he was finished she let his words soak in for a bit.
“Maybe you did have to make the journey you did. Because if you didn’t he wouldn’t be here. He may not have been born to the best of circumstances, but I think he’ll grow up strong because of it.”
She said slowly. She knew of the act of mating and what it could bring upon. She had seen Jace, heard the explanation, and her instinct was soon to come out to find her own mate, but she was resisting that part of her at the moment. There was far too much she wanted to do before thinking about children much less having one. So having the boy in her arms may have been a help for her, as her maternal feelings were let out with him and she could see herself visiting the boy everyday just to see how he was doing.
