“I would like that as well,” Tevos replies, a smile making its way to her lips. “That would mean a lot, actually.” Pleasant familial interaction was a skill that Tevos still needed heavy practice in…but she’s trying.
Liselle’s eyes are bright, and she looks happier than she has in a little while. She knows Tevos is trying to be a good mother, and she appreciates the effort more than anything. “Great!” she chirps. Her face falls then, but it looks more thoughtful than unhappy. “… Have you met my bondmate yet? I have no idea if I’ve ever introduced you two.”
Tevos is entertaining somewhat of a grim smile, only due to her ineptness in comfortable, casual interaction. “We have not been introduced, no.” She replies quietly, arms down at her sides. The butterfly-feeling deep in her core and the tingling in the back of her neck worries her; she hopes it’s normal. She’s almost uncertain with herself when it comes to anything less than business-savvy, so she intends to work on her level of comfort.
Hopefully, the crawling sensation in her lower back won’t last much longer while around her child. Because if Tevos is sure of one thing, it’s that it’s not a sensation a normal mother experiences. And she intends to sever that awful point in time from her current person.
