“Come on, Vesper. It’s time to go.”
Night was falling, and while he was sure his mother would appear during the day if she must, they were a family made for the night and that habit was difficult to break. They were on their way to the Veins, taking particular route so that they didn’t have to go within sight of the Marshes. He was still unnerved by the appearance of Kaos - by the fact that Vesper seemed to see through the strange requests from Kisamoa when Mesec hadn’t. They were strange, sure, but that was where his suspicions had stopped.
Much as he was proud of his daughter, he was ashamed of himself at the same time.
He had decided they would go to the Veins to visit instead of finding a spot in the Edge to try to summon the Goddess. Her presence in the Edge always seemed to gather a crowd - but what Mesec had in mind for their trip tonight was a little more private.
They made their way there, a clear sky stretching out above them so that the stars and moon added their silver light to the strange blue glow of the lava that laced the peninsula. Mesec came to stop before the shrine of his mother, looking to his daughter and giving her an encouraging smile. “You can call for her, if you’d like. I think we’ll have a better chance this time.” Their trip to the Veins last time, where they had been hopeful that the Earth God would appear and soothe their worries about Kisamoa, had gone without so much as a whisper from any of the gods. He wasn’t completely sure his mother would show up this time - but he was hopeful. Was she curious at all about her granddaughter? Would she come answer any of the questions they had?
That ever-present pain that Virga was not with them as well ate at Mesec’s heart and he reached over to nudge Vesper, taking comfort from her presence and give her some as well.
