As time went by, Eris was becoming less and less certain that she could just sit and say nothing.
Bashenga was going to get married. As his mother, she should have been over the moon.
But because she was his mother, and she knew all of her children like the back of her hand, Eris couldn't help but want to understand the reason behind a decision that was utterly unlike him.
"Bash... What happened while we were away?"
Bashenga flinched. He didn't lift his head initially and instead enjoyed the feeling of his head against the soft grass.
"...Did everyone else not tell you?" He suddenly said with a clarity that did not belong to an inebriated individual.
"Your Great Uncle Satan is planning a barbecue later this afternoon. Everyone was going to catch us up then, but you know how your mommy is. I can be impatient."
Bashenga scoffed. Maybe that description would apply to one of his other mothers, but Eris was the very last one for whom it would fit.
"...Thea was kidnapped."
