“Listen, kiddo. I get it. I do. But they’re also just kids, y'know? They can still change. Might be hard - but in a better environment, it’s possible. Still, though. If you don’t wanna be ‘round them, I get it. That’s totally fine for now, okay?”

"hey, ma? where do you want me t'put this box?" james stands a few feet away, box in hand, brows raised and blue eyes shining brighter than the sun. this new move to seed ranch had been difficult, but nevertheless, james was happy to be with the ryes instead of his previous family.

it’s so casual, the way he says it – just like he’s used that name for her all his life. ma. but kim’s never heard that from james – never heard the boy call her mom even though she’s stepped into that role so many years ago. she remembers the moment they took him in just like it was yesterday. this lost, poor little boy on their doorstep, hurt by a family that claimed to love him. we love you and we will thank you. in the end, you will thank us.she knows the pain he comes from, and she’s never wanted anything more but to give james the loving home he deserved. all kim rye ever wanted was to protect him, to love him and to show him the life any and every child deserves. if she could take away just some of the pain that his father john seed caused him, that would be enough.of course, she’s always thought of him as her son. ever since the moment he’d come to them, bleeding and scared on their porch. the moment she’d swept him inside, she knew – this is my son, and i will be his mother.but, she’s never expected james to return the feeling.at least, not until she finally heard him call her mom.kim, for her credit, tries her best to keep her emotions in check – it’s really nothing more than a slip of his tongue, probably, and she doesn’t want to call attention to it. but her heart is SWELLING.❝ just… right over there’ll do just fine, sweetheart, ❞     she offers, gesturing to a counter where he can place the box. kim waits for a moment, watching him, before beckoning him over,     ❝ c’mere for a second, james. ❞once he’s close enough, she opens her arms, enveloping him in a HUG. he may be taller than she is now, but she’s still got enough motherly instinct to wrap him tight in an embrace.❝ i know this is hard for you, and i know this place has a lot of memories. ❞      kim offers softly, rubbing his back gently, ❝ but we’re gonna make something great here. this place is going to become a BEACON OF HOPE. and you, and me, and your father and your sister are going to make that happen. ❞kim pulls back, holding james at arms length, taking a moment to admire how far he’s come.❝ i love you, son. ❞this is my son, and i am his mother.

“Just a bruise, my ass.” He leans in closer to inspect the irritated black eye Faustus was now sporting. “You look like you just got your ass kicked.” Fingers brush lightly against the other man’s cheek, James’ eyes narrowing as he tries to get a closer look. “You’re gonna look like this for weeks.”

---

He opened his mouth to speak when James gently touched his cheek. His smirk faded and winced slightly. Taking Jame's hand into his own, he moved it away from his eye, and the bruise. But didn't let go. "Yeah, yeah. Not a big deal if ya don't touch it, ya know. And let'sgo with it being from a fight. That sounds better.."

"karter." james sniffles and rubs his eyes before wrapping his arms around the man's waist, face buried against him. "why doesn't my brother like me?" the two seed boys had been arguing again. this particular argument left james in tears and karter was the only person he could turn to.

HE’D BEEN sifting through some of the field reports he’d received from scouts on the outskirts of Holland Valley, fortunately it wasn’t BAD news for when he feels the tug of arms around his waist he turns, brows creasing as he turns proper, an arm gently securing around the young boy before setting his papers down and turning to crouch before him, HEADING cocking to the side as he does so. 

“Now what ever would give you that impression?”

He was well aware that on MORE than one occasion the two young Seed boys found themselves at odds with one another. IT WASN’T exactly a surprise by any stretch of the imagination, siblings fought from time to time and it was just how it was. Karter can’t help but feel a pang of pain for James. HE COULD sympathize with how he felt considering Alaric could be QUITE vicious when provoked. Softly, a hand comes to wipe away the tears from the boy’s cheek.

“Family is complicated. Especially this one. Your brother feels very deeply and he doesn’t always know how to share those feelings with the people around him. He doesn’t dislike you, he just doesn’t know how to share how he feels with you. Your brother is much like your father in that respect.”

An arm slings around James’s shoulders as he does his best to console the upset youth despite the fact that he’s at the same time determining what he intends on doing about what he is CERTAIN is going to be a long talk with Alaric about the importance of family & communication with said family.

“Give him time. He’ll come around and you’ll see that I’m right.”

“Oh yes silly me. It’s not like I fed you, clothed you, and kept you safe throughout your entire youth.”

"uncle paul, do you know anything about bows and arrows?" the young seed crosses his arms, brows furrowed with curiosity. "i think i should start learning. no one else will teach me."

“I’ve dabbled in them a bit. Can’t say i’m a pro. We can probably figure it out together. can’t be too hard right?” paul smiles at his young nephew with genuine adoration, content that he’s come to him for help. he’ll do what he can to help the younger Seed. maybe it’ll be some good bonding time for them since everything has been so crazy. “If no one else will teach you though do I have permission to do so? i don’t want to over step any boundaries.”

❛ Are you here to apologize? ❜

MORE QUESTION SENTENCE STARTERS.;; ACCEPTING

@sanctuseed

“Apologize? A-pol-o-gize?” Iris’ arms crossed over her chest and she looked at James like the idea was foreign to her. Which, in a way, it was.  Her lips pursed together and titled slightly along with her head. The sass and attitude were very obvious at this point. “Apologize? What the fu-” ‘Deep breath, Iris’, she reminded herself before she slipped up and said something that would cause unnecessary bickering that she really wasn’t in the mood for. “No, to answer your question. I’m definitely not here to apologize. What I did doesn’t even require me to apologize! It was an accident and I made that very clear. “
