She smiles as she sees him tucking her gold feather into his hair. She was grateful that he was willing to listen to her fears and insecurities. She can sense that he has his own but.... Perhaps one day, he will tell them to her.

"I know that you will protect all of us. But I still want to help keep any nestling that we have safe." She giggles softly at the image. "I can see them playing with you, all of you rolling about in the dirt and laughing." She then sighs. "Yes, I shall pray that our days will continue to be peaceful."

She sees the sad smile and moves at once to hug him, trying to use her scent and touch to try and comfort him. "I am sorry, my love... You were forced to grow up far too fast. I shall pray that perhaps, with our children... You can regain some of your youth back or be truly happy once more."
