(The strangest sort of change came over the Laird as his mate lowered her head to the ground and he sensed her feelings of shame. He actually thought of her feelings instead of his own and words came from him that had nothing to do with his normal arrogance and everything to do with the love and pride he felt for his mate.) I dinnae want to hear such words from ye, mo creadhe.. (He lowered his head down besides hers for a moment before shifting to adjust the fire. As he settled back down beside her he brought his wing closer in a sort of embrace.) Ye've ne'er had the learning of a growing whelp and I ken it.. ye've also ne'er had the closeness of a clan around ye to aid ye. (He made a soft sound in his throat that was a sort of huff.) I am here to help ye wi' the learning, just as I am helping the bairn learn. (His tone sound just a bit sad as he countinued, mourning still what he had lost and still accepted the blame for.) As for the clan, tis nae longer what it was lass, and I am sorry for that. Ye should have our mams, aunts and other family to help wi' the rearing of the bairn. I ken that Durgan, evie and myself are nae enough to shoulder this burden, especially wi' another bairn soon to be here. (He ached for the closeness of family that once existed in the castle. He missed the way things had been before he had been captured and somehow lost control of things. He had lost sight of what was important as he dealt with the initial shock of his return, the pain of what he had been through and the joy of finding his mate. He had royally screwed things up in his selfishness, and in return he had alienated several people close to him including his own brother. And now the clan was falling apart. He didn't have his father to seek advice from, not that the old viper would help him anyways. With a sigh he laid his head beside her again and nuzzled her cheek.) But we have each other, aye? And we'll work it out the best we can, even if we've to muck about first to figure it all out. (He smiled ruefully, thinking about their bairn in human form and realizing that he too was lacking in knowledge.. it was frightening being a parent with no parents to guide him.. if only he head listened to his own parents instead of being a clothead. He smiled privately as he picture his little white lass, a miniature of her mam.) Aye, I bet she is lovely as her mam.. and the boys will do fine so long as they dinnae take after Durgan's side of my dna.
