She knew it would be difficult for Dalgina to understand, children could seldom understand the workings of an adult's mind and the reasoning's behind an adult's actions which made it all the more confusing because it appeared as though things had no reason and were simply decided for the sake of it. She was glad for Dalgina's attempt at comfort even though the pup couldn't know the sorrow that she held, hopefully she wouldn't have to know it until she was well grown up and Jace was an old woman shouting at birds and pesky children.
Jace had once been young enough to think that her mother was utterly invincible, that nothing would ever bring her down, no force on earth could destroy her. Now she was older and more wise she could feel only pity as she saw that her own children had the same thoughts about herself. She saw Keldava's adoring looks and the way Honrin hung onto her words, how Dalgina looked to her to prove the monsters could be kept away by a good story, it would make it all the more terrifying for them when they did discover that she wasn't infallible, that she could make mistakes and mess up badly just like everyone else.
"If you don't want to go then you don't have to Dalgina, but the choice is there if you want it. Like I said Me and your father will always love you and you'll always be welcome to stay with us." Such a heavy conversation topic for one so young.
