”Im a girl, thats right. Blackheart thought dismally to herself. Laying there, without much more to gripe about, it was clear she was resigned to the fate that had been dealt to her. It wasn’t as if there way any feasible way to change it now was there? All she could do was make the best of the shitty hand she’d be dealt and move forward, to build again.

Hearing the conversation above her, about considering adopted children.. their children, was strange to say the least. All their life blackheart had been this hardened, regal warrior with rigid morality and unbending will. To hear this.. Conversation of motherhood was something that in all honesty, Blackheart had never even begun to comprehend as becoming a part of her life. She’d always assumed she’d simply continue to serve the realm, and then eventually when she got tired of moving, she’d just fade away into oblivion.

Still for such a hardened warrior, being called endearing managed to make that adorable smile atop her little chubby face more genuine. Maybe it was the hormones of her tiny child brain interfering with the ancient emotion within, but in that one moment--blackheart didn’t feel revulsion at the fate that had been given to her. Merely.. Hopeful? Yes that was the word, blackheart was hopeful that this life would be a different one for her. One where the fighting would be secondary, where maybe she’d have more than merely her honor and morality?

Something more than brotherhood, something that had been alien to the ancient being for as long as she could remember. The one thing she had seen era after era, year after year, that she had envied, but never understood--Family. Maybe this was in a way, her chance at experience such mundane emotions. Despite the crappy start to her life, she was tentatively hopeful that there would be something better waiting beyond the horizon.

It was that thought that made her little hand clench only just a little more to Nel’s finger, it made her gleaming gaze not one of annoyance atleast. For now though, Blackheart simply put up with the fussing, and waited until she could atleast tell them who she was. After all, such wonderful people deserved the truth.
