"A goodparent," Wraithvine repeated. "I am a wandering thorn in various evils' sides. We've done what we can to protect them while they're vulnerable, but... there's reasons why I wander. I mean, besides looking for trouble before it troubles anyone else." Ze couldn't help but to rock the cradle a little.
It was tempting, sorely tempting, to remain and settle down. Just for a little while.
To hold children in hir arms again. To be involved in raising them. To watch them grow and teach them everything ze could. Ah, but there were always forces looking to defeat a chronic do-gooder like Wraithvine, and their efforts always... splashed. Ze couldn't bear to have these innocent people harmed just because ze wanted to hang around.
