Lumi was never one to portray her true emotions to anyone outside her inner most circle of trusted acquaintances, however at this current moment in time she had none on which to call upon for such a delicate manner as this. It was so very unlike her to feel vulnerable, and yet the Snow Queen felt herself in the unfortunate predicament of asking the mighty North Wind to be the one in which she confided in. Her bitter, shallow ways broke cleanly for one person only, and thus the issue was no doubt rooted in him. She lowered her hand in favour for hugging her forearms close to her, and raised her troubled eyes to him.
"My Son, North. He is the source of that which ails me so," she stated feebly, her voice a low note carried by the icy drift that collected about her, swayed by her impenetrable emotions. "He seeks the crude, ill-mannered man that is his father and has abandoned me.” Her despair seemed natural, though none would understand the true pain such an act caused her. She lived for her child; a concept many would never have thought her capable of.
◣♔◢ — The mention of a son struck a chord in him the moment she spoke of him; he knew, yes, that she'd birthed the child of another Fable (the identity of the luckless man that had incurred the wrath of the Snow Queen eluded him at the moment) though he hadn't sensed any disturbances in any of his own realms. If he left her, he was, no doubt, refraining from using his his abilities, whether as a precaution or simply coincidence. Perhaps his underlings were just as unlucky as he was, when it came to kinship.
“And you've no idea where either can be found? Who is his father? It would be no trouble to search for him, and I've no doubt it won't take long.”
He didn't much know to console Lumi; he had trouble with all seven of his own sons, though they were all of his own fault. His nature had betrayed Winter, and by extension, his kin. Though he had no love to offer her in her final days of mourning, he had enough regret for the two of them. He had no doubt that she cared for her son, obviously--she wouldn't be so worried if she wasn't, and what mother wouldn't care for her children so unconditionally?
