Merida nods her head as she replied.”She sure does.” she could only imagine how things would have turned out if both her mothers showed up today to save her. It probably would have ended up a lot more hectic and dangerous than it did with just her father.
At the mention of magic she found herself frowning and gripping her spoon hard. “I wouldn’t have wanted them there. Those people..they were looking for my magic. I don’t..I don’t really understand it but I know if moms where there those men would have tried to do something to them.” she nibbled her bottom lip gently and she shuddered just thinking about it.
She had to force herself to listen to him and keep those thoughts from her mind. Instead she thought about her brothers and how happy she was to be seeing them again. “I can’t wait to see them.” it’s been a year. She had missed birthdays and holidays and other various things. It hurt hard and she had to duck her head as tears welled in her eyes.
The thief had considered telling her mothers what he had found out and then taken them with him but there were so many reasons as to why that was a bad idea and among them is that he would have worried for all three ladies in the non-magical world even though he knows they all can handle their own well enough; it doesn’t mean that they should.

Just enjoy the soup and my poor company.” He noticed her sudden shift in mood and gently laid his hand over hers. “Would you like to go home tonight? I had thought to let you rest after a shower and a meal but if you want to go I’ll gladly pack up and we can get home to our family.”
