*Not having truely believed it when his Consor informed him of the return of his mother, he strides to the board himself in order to gain proof on his own. His deep blue eyes stare at the letter through the small dark sunglasses, with ovoid shaped lenses, that he wears. A cool breeze whips right through the white t-shirt he wears, his white jeans truely the only warm piece of clothing upon his frame*
*The sunglasses hide the initial look of shock in his eyes and he fumbles in a pants pocket for the piece of paper and the pen he brought with him. He puts it to the board and then starts to write a response--but hesitates. Kearney and Kurobikari had blown off his invitation and seemed to not want to meet him. Truely, the only persons having paid him any attention are Ballie, Dante--who is now, to his knowledge, dead--and the girls who've done nothing but hit on him.*
*He pulls the sheet of paper hesitantly away and breathes a small sigh. The friends and family of his that he's managed to find have done nothing but blow him off, he wonders for a moment if the woman who served as a true mother and mentor to him, would even bother to read--let alone respond. Desperate for at least one of the people he knows to want to see him once more, he takes the chance and scribbles out his message, tacking it in plain view under her's*
Dear Mother,
I'm glad that you've returned. It's been just a bit lonely without you. I wish you'd have gotten to see your granddaughter, if you still call me your step-son that is, when she was still a baby, she's a teenager now and looking more and more like her mother every day.
I'd like to see you, I've a few things I'd like to share with you that I'd hope make you proud or at least get a congratulations. Of course, if you don't care I understand.
Love,
Salem
*He reads his note over once and notices how much he sounds like a whiney young child. He considers tearing it down and re-writing it, but realizes that deep down inside him, that child desperately wants out and how Sky was the only person to allow that to happen.
