My mother is captivating in the best ways. Oh, no need to explain– she and I will always manage to find time to spend together, plus she deserves to not fret over me at all times. You can return the favor. There will be a time in the not-so-distant future when I'm no longer here. I know you were there when her husband passed, before she found me. I want you to look out for her when I'm gone.
Indeed, it would be relieving seeing her worry less over her precious child. You talk of the swirling prophecy implicating your death, Val, well, while I connect with everyone else's voiced concerns that something like this can be avoided, the God of Death will come for us all if his realms calls to us. I know where I am needed even when my physical form is miles away, Valentin. If or when you leave the mortal realm behind...I will look out for Varya the way I have always looked out for Varya. You have my word, my boy.
