Back on the River
The Black Void - Episode 3378
|
We set off again the next morning, heading back towards River's Glen as a
necessary first step. From there, we'll hire a coach to take us into the
countryside east of Theras, where John's family castle is. Before that,
however, We'll need to stop to get me a decent dress. Not only is my
current one immodest, it's starting to get a little loose now that I've
had the babies, though it'll be a good while before I have anything
resembling my old figure back.
I'm very grateful to have Moula around again to help with the babies. Traveling would've been next to impossible if I'd had to manage both of them alone. As the barge winds its way upriver, we make a little small talk: "It's been over a week, Hari. Have you come up with names for them yet?" "Yes. For my son, Jack, after my father. Though in all honesty, his eyes remind me more of his father, Don, then they do of my own father. My daughter I've named Chloe. No particular reason for that one, I just like the name." Moula nods approvingly at my choices. Eventually, both the twins fall asleep, and I take a moment to go talk to John, who's staring at the river with a serious look on his face. "How are you feeling?" I ask. "Fine." he replies absently. "Just thinking of the last time I saw my father." He frowns. "Do you want to tell me about it? It might make it easier, especially if you want us to try to sway him."
