"I can't think of any," she answered with an honest shrug. "Everyone who ever made me the slightest bit happy died violently. Thinking back on them only hurts."

"What about Coldpelt?"

Snowmane grunted, thinking for a moment. "I'd rather not talk about her..." she answered, frowning.

"Does she not at least make you marginally happy?" Varyn asked quietly. "Even merely with pride at her successes?"

"Why would I feel pride? Her success has nothing at all to do with me. I'd even say it's in spite of me," Snowmane answered. "She deserved a better mother than me."

"Well...if it is in spite of you, then technically it does have to do with you..." Varyn ventured uneasily, glancing away as he spoke as though to avoid the effect his words might have.

"Looking at her accomplishments, one has to wonder how much farther she might have come if I had done things differently..." Snowmane answered bitterly. "She learned magic on her own. I didn't teach her that. And then... I drank while I was pregnant with her. I have done nothing but hold her back."

Gurka looked up at Rotha, saying nothing.

"Then why not seek atonement?" the mage asked. "Or, rather, becoming respectable enough for her?"
Aware he was being unusually loose lipped - if loosely from the aftereffects of the smoke and blood loss -, Varyn continued speaking regardless, considering this could be the best chance he had of trying to help the worgen. Seeing as she scorned any attempt even physically to keep her from harms way, he felt the need to try at least something now when he had the opportunity. Her suicidal tendencies were hardly helping, though he still had to wonder, was she truly so bent on killing herself? Or merely so engrossed in her own self-pity she merely bandied the word about for effect.

"I don't think it matters now," Snowmane shrugged. "She's a grown woman. I can't change what happened in the past. I don't want her to respect me, I just want to stop holding her back."

"Then the easiest means to accomplish that would be to gain her respect. You are her mother. No matter what, you will always hang over her in some way. Would it not be better for her to not worry about you, if you cannot inspire her? If I...I may be so bold," Varyn stuttered, "it seems that...well, you do much to earn her concern."
"Dis be real depressin', mon," Samdi noted in undertone from the background. Scratching a tusk, he slipped through the door leading to the main shop once again.

Snowmane looked up at the troll, apathy written all over her face and watched him leave. "I can think of a few easier ways to get her to stop worrying about me..." she answered darkly.

Gurka looked back at the sparrow, wondering just what was causing all of this.

"...I think that would only make it worse," he admitted. "Regardless of her feelings, I do not doubt you are important to her. She was willing to fight for you, against those men, regardless of words said during. You dying would be...quite awful," he said softly. "I..believe, at least."

"What?" Gurka asked, looking at the sparrow. She paused for several seconds. "Nightbane?" she asked.

"Maybe," Snowmane shrugged. "It's just so hard going day to day when you don't feel anything..." she answered. "I get so tired. So utterly exhausted that I want to just give up. I keep living because I feel like it's the right thing to do, but it's just so hard to do even that."

"Dying merely means others must then shoulder your burdens," Varyn said, his voice having the echo of memory to it. "If you want my help it's freely given. But I can do little more, I'm afraid."
