Exton

The woman is petite. Her fiery red hair is liberally streaked iwth grey. The small  framed man with her looks around the room. Green eyes still sharp, he spies Ob and Pandora at their regular couch. Jeb speaks with them briefly, then calls a waitress over to take them to the Tavern's owner.

The woman has a regal air. Shoulders back, she looks at Pandora calmly. Only then do her eyes move to Obsidian. She nods to him. Her hands are clenched tightly together and she reeks of the worry her body language struggles to hide. Her escort Introduces her, and himself.

"I am sorry to intrude. This is Sylvia Redman. I am her son Travis. We understand that my youngest brother is convalescing here? Is it possible to see him?"

Ob puts a hand on Pandora's shoulder. Kissing her cheek, he rises to his feet. His long frame dwarfs the two werefox. Pandora introduces her husband and asks them to sit. Ob will make sure it is alright with Healer. Just then the baby kicks and Ob leans close to make sure she is alright and to tell their son to behave. The foxwoman reaches out tentatively, hand hovering. Ob tells her it is alright and Pandora beams. When the woman asks if it is Pandora's first, the witch tells them of Chloe. Ob slips away as Pandora sidetracks them with baby talk.

The noise from the room is raucous. Ob shoos the guys out, then asks Ron if he wants to see his family. A weight seems to slip from the boy when Ob tells him who it is. He nods. The Gargoyle sends to his sister and shortly there is a knock on the door. Ike ushers Ron's mother and much older brother into the room. His mother heads straight to the bed and strokes her son's hair back from his face. As the tears slip down her cheeks, Ob and Ike slip from the room.

Ob glances at the door, a wistful look on his face. Ike hugs her brother. "You miss yer mum, don't you bro?"

Ob hugs her with one arm. "Yeah, but I have a family of my own now. I chose my Kin and I am not sorry. But yeah, sometimes... like now... I miss mi madre'."

Ike hugs him back and they head back downstairs. "Ke will be up to talk to him in just a little bit. He said Ron needs time to be with his mom. They are close and he needs to tell her a few things." Ike tugs at Ob's hand. "C'mon. Let's see what the other patrols have to say..."
