Chapter 20
a/n Greyn is a bad example when you have tea put it away yourself don't leave it for your mom to clean up moms deserve better shout out to all the moms out there (haha big timeskip go brr)
The wind whistles against his face. The world lies in front of him. River sets down a cup next on the railing Greyn leans on. "You're 44 and still live with your parents." His mother jokes.
"Oh, hush." Greyn sips his tea. "Where else would I go?"
"Anywhere, if you wanted."
"Are you kicking me out?"
River raises an eyebrow. "I've seen that look in your eye. You want to leave Darriulium. You want to wander. I get it."
"I can't just leave you. We're never all going to be together again."
River pulls a brown box out of his pocket. "It's your choice." she presses a kiss onto her son's cheek and walks away.
Greyn waits until she's gone and opens the box delicately. It's his mother's vortex manipulator. Then River comes back to collect Greyn's half drinken mug of tea. The open box is still on the railing, and it's empty now.
