Telling Mom

Sometimes, you just gotta talk to Mom.

Jaela and Ladonyth's Weyr(#4786RJs)
This room looks beautiful, and the walls seem to twinkle from the
sandstone. Several discreet tapestries hang upon the walls, adding to the
ambience of the room. A table with several chairs lay off to one side,
and a vanity with white cabinets and a white chair lay against another
wall. Jaela's bed sits against the wall nearest the entryway. It looks
nice and fluffy, with several big red pillows spread out near the
headboard of the white covers. A pot with an interesting looking plant
stands next to the vanity. Several glowbaskets are hung in place around
the walls, adding a light glimmer to the surroundings. A light violet
curtain hangs againt a large opening in the back, leading out to the
ledge, while a sturdy door leads back out to the hallway.

Jaegon sticks his head in the door. "Mother?"

Jaela looks up from some scrolls, "Hi son...come in."

You say "Are you busy?" He comes in partway. "I kind of need to talk,
when you get time."

Jaela smiles, "No come on in."

Jaegon comes in, waving to Ladonyth on her ledge. He sinks into a chair.
"It's about me and Deeva, mother."

Jaela smiles, "Deeva....ahh that pretty young girl...what about her?"

Jaegon leans back in his chair, but he's fidgety. "Do you know the terms
of her staying here? With her family, I mean?"

Jaela shakes her head.

You say "She's pretty much the last of her Bloodline. Her father told her
she could stay for two Turns, in order to avoid being pressured into a
marriage she doesn't want. Ultimately, though, she has to go home and get
espoused."

Jaela bites her lip, "I did not know that."

Jaegon nods. "She won't break her father's request. She thinks it's
fair..and I guess it is." He sighs. "But it bothers me. She makes me feel
like a trundlebug family got into my heart, you know? Shivery. And no one
else has ever done that."

Jaela looks at you, "It's called love, son."

You say "I don't know if it's love or not. I just know that the thought
of her going back home drives me nuts."

Jaela smiles and looks across at you, "That is love....honestly." She
sighs, "I had the same feeling with your father....I mean...love comes
and goes but..."

Jaegon says abruptly and seriously "I offered to give her a baby,
Mother."

Jaela smiles, "What did she say?"

You say "She doesn't know what to say. But if she has a child, and the
child is sent home for fostering..it's just as if she was there to have
it in practical terms for the bloodline. But for some reason, she's got
it in her head that means she's using me."

Jaela looks at you, "I think you need to convince her otherwise. I can
tell that she really must be fond of you too if shewas considering it."

You say "She is considering it. But she's got it in her head that this is
taking advantage of me." He sighs forcefully, then stands up and paces a
bit. "I don't care about the tumbling part, that'll be nice..what I want
is to see her happy. And she adores children. And she's got this duty
thing which is commendable but it's chaining her..."

Jaela sighs and smiles, "YOu need to convince her that it's not using
her....that you're both making a decision together."

You say "I know. It's just hard. And I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be
good enough for her parents to espouse her."

Jaela pshaws, "The son of a goldrider? I certainly hope you will be. If
not I'll go have a talk with them myself."

You say "Depends. I guess it could be worse. When you're a weyrkid rank
is kind of fuzzy."

Jaela says "I think you will be ok...."

Jaegon spins back and forth. "I can't let her know what's going through
my head. She's not ready for it. But it's making me insane, mother."

Jaela smiles, "Be gentle...and don't say anything silly....be supportive
of her."

You say "I told her that it was here decision, and to think it over a
lot. I don't want her to answer quickly."

Jaela nods her head, "Good good."

You say "I fel better for just talking, Mother." He kisses your cheek.
"Thanks."

Jaela smiles and hugs you gently, "Follow your heart, Jaegon...and be
supportive of her."
