I get to my feet and kiss her softly. "We all love you too." I then whisper as I take her hand. "And we all happily share if that's what you wanted. Come on, Birthday Princess." I lead her out.

I laugh a bit after kissing her back. "Yes yes we should."

I kiss her back. "Yea that never helps."

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I nod. "And it's valid to be angry with them for hiding this for us."

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I kiss her head. "It doesn't change our feelings...and I think that's what Jace is the most upset about as well. He said and did nothing even when he knew how we started to feel." I gently rub her back.

"I get that but if it helps I was never officially his kid on paper." I try to light heartedly

I nod slowly once she finishes and wrap my arms around her. "I'm not going anywhere."

"Very vague.. he's was more focused on being pissed Papa then what's happening." I lean against the counter

(Thaumas) I smile softly and watch her grinning for the first time in a little while.

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I head into the kitchen. "Hi, Princess. Happy early birthday."

(Thaumas) -see nothing exploded. Relax. I'm just making the girl a little happy for a bit- I gently coax the fish to swim around her then swim away. I blow some sand from the bottom to reveal the prettiest hidden shells there.

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I park my car off to the side when I pull into her driveway and head inside. "Matty?"

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

(Thaumas) I smile watching as the water shimmers again, letting her breath. -Thaumas- I hear Poseidon growl in my head. I roll my eyes. -It's fine. It's just a little meddling-

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

(Thaumas) I send out my voice on currents. "Breathe. Princess. Just Breathe."

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

(Thaumas) I float far enough she won't see me but I can see her. The ocean around me shimmers and reaches out surrounding her. I smile softly as I watch her.

I left the cabin when Jace arrived saying he gave Matty her gift and hugs this morning. I drive to Matty's, tapping along with the song in my car.

(Thaumas) I can't help the small snort that escapes. When she's not looking, I vanish.

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

(Thaumas) I smile a little at the thought. -Yea, I would think that as well in her position.-

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

(Thaumas) I watch Matilda walking along the beach as I stand at the edge of the water. -my poor friend- I don't say anything as I pretend to stare at the ocean. -not supposed to be here but can't leave Joey unprotected from herself and what's coming-

I kiss her head and make myself more coffee.

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

"Just don't wonder too far alone for physical safety reasons." I chuckle

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I nod. "That seems like a reasonable thing to try." I kiss her head.

100

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I nod. "Hm... Well, Jace will be here tomorrow night. I'm going to Mats and hopefully someone else is too. Don't think it's fair for her to have one support person when the others seem to have two each."

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

"That's weird but then people don't usually remember whole dreams...hm... Is that why you didn't sleep last night?" I ask.

110

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

"Yea.. was gonna ask Jane if sudden sleepwalking is normal." I sip my coffee. "Weird..I don't really remember everything except this almost singing voice chanting in my head."

100

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I gently rub her back. "Why didn't you sleep?" I pause to take a drink of my coffee. "No.. no bad dreams..just weird one and waking up in the woods."

110

Chai Carraro @carrarohermit.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I smile. "Morning, Sweetheart." I roll my neck again. I quietly say. "Not well, it seems. How did you sleep?" I ask even though I can read my answer on her face, as I look at her while sipping my coffee.

The smell vanishes as white light hits me again. Groaning, I stretch awake. I blink as I sit up and find myself in the woods. "Okay..well this is new... Should talk to Jane about sleepwalking suddenly." I dust myself off and head back to the house. Rolling my neck, I head to my bathroom.+

I should. Everything is louder and the smells around me overwhelm me almost. My eyes dark towards the woods when I hear the crack of a branch. -who is there?- The words come out as a low growling sound like a dog. My eyes dart to my feet. -paws? Well this is a weird dream.- I hear another+

As the rhythmic voice starts to repeat the words, a sharp hot pain slam through my body. The darkness turns bright white. When everything goes silent and my surroundings take shape around me. I'm standing at the edge of the water near my cabin. I shake my head and blink feeling warmer than+

Let every hidden spirit bang. Earth below and sky above, Awaken now the forms they love. By breath, by blood, by heart, by will, Let shifting answer, silent, still. No fear shall bind, no doubt shall stay— Let every sleeping power wake today. To those whose blood remembers, +

I feel like the darkness swallows me whole as I start to spin and fall. I hear a soft woman's voice in my head. "By blood and bone, by moon and flame, I call the wild ones by their name. Let sleeping power break its chain, Let ancient instincts rise again. Skin to fur and flesh to fang,+

(Dim) I smile. "I'll never miss a holiday."

(Dim) I gently squeeze her hand. "My calendar has the vacation marked. They'll just have to deal."

(Dim) I laugh. "You'd be surprised how much whining I can handle."

(Dim) "I would wonder how long til the world ends if you ever caught something." I laugh.

I hold her tightly. "I do love your mama and I love all you kids." I kiss her head.

(Dim) "In general but it is cold season." I then her to a table since it's a sit yourself place.
