Blaise:
The alphess lay down next to the pups and pulled them close. ”Nothing's wrong with you, Spenca. You, two, are perfect the way you are. Your birth mother just couldn't give you the love you deserved.” Blaise licked their little heads. Spenca seemed to be drifting off to sleep, but her purple eye peeped open again as she came to a conclusion. Blaise smiled, relieved Spenca was accepting the truth and looking at what she did have rather than what she didn't. ”I'll always love you, too, Spenca” Blaise repeated nuzzling Exspence, ”And you, Lis.” Blaise moved her muzzle to nuzzle Lisanna as well.
”You two should get some rest. I'm sure it's been a long day. May your dreams be filled with light…” She licked them again. Blaise's purple eyes flicked to Amora, her firstborn. There was so much Blaise wanted to say to her daughter, so much she wanted to explain. But she had trouble finding the right words or even the right time. The right time seemed to be a mythical thing, elusive and untouchable. Blaise figured now still might not feel like the right time, but it was better than most.
”Amora,” Blaise sighed and lifted her head as she addressed her eldest daughter, ”I…” Blaise faltered for a second before forging onward, ”I know I've made mistakes… but you were never one of them. I just wish I could've been a better mother and helped you more. I wish I could've found you a better father, instead you merely had the shadow of one. I was so young and foolish… I thought I'd suffered enough and my happy ending would magically come without me putting much work into it. I couldn't see past my own ambitions and follies to become better for you. I was so focused on finding an easy way out rather than explaining and doing things the way I should've. I've always loved you, but I never showed that enough or been there for you when you needed me most. I'm sorry… I wish there was someway I could go back and tell myself how to choose correctly, but there's no reward for regrets. If there's anything I could do for you now to make up for all those times…” Blaise trailed off, leaving the offer open-ended. She looked down at the twins, hoping she was doing a better job for them.
