Astrid gave a gentle nod of her head, fully understanding the occasional struggles that came with children having been through a loss such as a parent. Her youngest siblings often craved their mother's embrace and it was hard to explain to them she was no longer there to give it. No matter how hard they tried, she and the elder of her siblings couldn't fully fill that effect. With time and lots of love they would be able to move on, something else that reminded her often she was holding on to a part of her past still. Her father was dead and her revenge served, that should have been the end of it when they sailed away and came to live up here in the mountain village. It should of but some things just weren't as easy to let go or maybe it was just her.
Before she got too far in her thoughts, she realized Rowena was preparing herself to leave. "They are the warm reminders of our loved ones no longer living beside us but will always have part of themselves with us to remember as they live and grow. Though they are my siblings and not children of my own, that's at least the message I've come to understand when it comes to loved ones no longer with us" she said calmly. It was easy to see some of her parents in her siblings as they began to grow. The smile similar to her mothers and the faint glow that hovered in her father's eyes when he laughed. They were the positive reminders of them and as their children, they were the legacy they had set into play to continue forward and make of the next part of the story themselves.
"Forgive me for keeping you, no doubt the potions will be affecting you shortly and I dare not keep you from your daughter a moment longer. Goodnight Lady Rowena and thank you, I shall meet you in the entrance hall on the morrow first thing." Astrid said warmly, holding the tray securely in her hands. She waited for her to step out first from the bed then followed escorting her politely to the door and waiting until she was gone before turning and heading for the back of the infirmary to clean up after her late night patient.
