"Don't give me that look Hem," Vidar scolded softly as he started to wash Honey. "You should be happy I'm here, your mama doesn't have to let go of you to wash himself," he pointed out.

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“...I would have rather been away with mom then here with you” Hem snapped back as he hid his face in honeys chest the little deer quite angry and still upset that honey had been gone and in a way didn’t want to take it out on honey since he had missed him so much.

[MRiceball]

Vidar flinched and slowly looked up into Honey's eyes. He wondered if Hem was enjoying hurting him like this. So he set the cloth and soap down got out of the bathtub dried, dressed and left the house. He just walked out the gate and kept walking. Hem's words cutting into his heart and felt like he was going to bleed to death.

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“...Hem...you can be angry all you want but you can’t use it to be mean to others...I know I should have said goodbye but you should be angry at your father” honey explained gently holding his baby close. “Now...you best go apologize to him for being so cold hearted” honey replied firmly as he forced Hem out the deer going to his father still dripping wet.

[MRiceball]

Vidar was already heading for the woods so hopefully, Hem would remember the rules about going into the woods and tell Honey so he wouldn't get in any trouble. Vidar was currently remembering why he had avoided people for so long, sooner or later someone you loved and thought loved you back would betray those feelings.

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“...couldn’t find him...and I’m not suppose to wander off from the house” Hem replied as honey got out and laid down in a corner to tiered to move further as he sighed. “Just give him some space” honey mumbled before instantly crashing down to the floor the deer passing out from exhaustion.

[MRiceball]

Granny was at the door a moment later and placed a hand on Hem's head before looking over Honey then lifted him with and spell and put him to bed then looked at Vidar. "Did I ever tell you of the story of the Snow Spirit we're descended from? Well, it's bedtime so I'll tuck you in and tell you the story."

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“...is dad leaving us like mom did?” Hem asked worried vidar as he frowned and slowly got into bed not sure what to do since he did feel horrible for acting so mean.

[MRiceball]

"Well Hem you've been telling him that you want him to leave for months now," Granny said as she tucked him in. Did you know that I'm your daddy's Grandmother? My son is your daddy's father. You would say things a lot like he would say to your daddy. Both your grandfather and grandmother hated your daddy, they told him mean things throughout his life. Never gave him love like he gives you. You're breaking his heart with your words. If his heart is broken then he'll turn into a snow demon like our ancestor."

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“...he has magic...why didn’t he try and save mom if he’s so powerful why did he let him leave and...he didn’t care...he didn’t cry or seem to miss him” Hem replied breaking down crying his emotions a mess as he hid under the covers more the child still to young to understand how the world work so of course he blamed the only person he thought could fix everything. He just continued to cry the room turning cold as he looked up at his grandmother clearly heartbroken and needing someone to help him but hell after his mom had died he felt like he had to grow up and didn’t need vidar but secretly he did and he was just confused and lost like most would be.

[MRiceball]

"Because you mom didn't let him. He told your daddy that they were still time to save him. Now that is a lie," Granny said sternly. "He's been crying all the time, you just couldn't see them through your own tears. Your daddy could have tried to bring you mom back after his soul had left his body he would have been a monster. WE can't know everything Hem. And he tried to fix things but you didn't want to," she sighed to herself. "Hem, sweetheart, mommies, and daddies try really hard when they love your babies but they can't always fix everything. They are not gods Hem. Just like you couldn't save a butterfly you daddy can't either."

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“...” Hem was just quiet as he looked away and went back to the bed curling up under the covers as he hid realizing how horrible he had been. “I want him to come home...”

[MRiceball]

"Really? Then why don't I help you send a spell to him? Have you been practicing what I've been showing you?"

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“...I’m not good at magic...I don’t like doing it” Hem replied his magical control lacking quite a bit as he peeked out from under the covers.

[MRiceball]

"You are very good at it. I'll be your focus but he needs to know it's really you who wants him to come home sweetheart. Come on little one. You have such a strong gift, you just need some practice but that's for later, I just need a bit of help to get him to come home."

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“O-okay tell me what to do then” Hem mumbled as he looked at granny wanting to help but desperately not wanting to disappoint her.

[MRiceball]

"You love your daddy, right? Okay so put your hands together like you're holding a ball and close your eyes. Now imagine the ball in your hands but the ball is flat like all the air has been pushed out. Now fill that ball up with all the love you have for your daddy, don't worry about the size the ball just fill it as big as you can," she explained and waited for him to do the best he could and placed her hands around his and began her part of the spell. "Now release it like you're letting a bird go fly free."

[Yukonwolfspirit]

Hem nodded and did as asked his hands glowi g brightly with a warm loving light as he calmed himself and concentrated his magic skills being quite good unknowing to himself.

[MRiceball]

"Now let it go, let him feel your love for him," she said softly then sent the spell on its way. "There, he will get it and return. Now, it's getting very late. How about I tuck you in with your mother and you get some sleep? Don't worry, he'll be back knowing you really do love him. But remember words are the strongest spells in the world and not even the most powerful mage can make spell stop once it's been sent out. Always think before speaking even in anger."

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“It’s hard... to remember that rule...sometimes I’m just filled with nothing but anger and rage and I don’t know why...when I do I tend to snap and hurt others” Hem admitted having his own demons inside tormenting him as he laid down in the bed not feeling like sleeping. “Could you give me something to help me sleep?”

[MRiceball]

"Then just shout, don't say words just scream it out. Your daddy use to do that all the time and he had a lot to scream about," she chuckled. "How about some hot cocoa? Would that help? Or just warm milk?"

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“I want some actual medicine” Hem mumbled as he curled up under the blankets looking like he hadn’t slept in months. “Please” he added as he curled up next to honey.

[MRiceball]

"Medicine? Hmm, well I have a honey tonic that works for me. But I won't give you much," she said softly. "Just relax and I'll go get it."

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“Okay” Hem whispered as he snuggled down more almost hidden behind honey who was out cold.

[MRiceball]

Granny returned after a sort tea with a cup of tea. "I mix it with tea to help you swallow it," she said softly as she helped him with the cup then tucked him in again when he was done. "It feels a little chilly so I'm going to put a little spell on the blanket to keep the two of you warm," she said with a smile. "Though you might be like your daddy, things get cold when he's upset too."
