[Surprise, one of the chillest Greek deities was hated by his mom. What a happy beginning for a centaur!!

But perhaps the worst part of it all is that Chiron

doesn't seem that effected. His brows knit as he watches on, noting the panic and sadness of the child, but at the end of it he can only murmur...]

Ah, that was my... mother?

[...]

How strange. I had always thought I coveted those flowers of the linden tree for their medicinal abilities, but I suppose...

[it was him just clinging to her image. Rather sentimental of him]

[dawnblushed]

...

[hm.]

That memory seemed so clear, though... is it something the Realm took from you...?

[antaressnipe]

I can only assume so.

[... And there is a note of melancholy there, that he had forgotten the very moment of his birth in such a way]

... I know some would say it is a blessing to forget such a hatred, but... I wish I had kept it.

[dawnblushed]

...painful memories can be important, too.

[It would really be better if they weren't losing memories at all.]

[antaressnipe]

They can be, yes...

[Some of the sadness retreats and he shakes his head to clear his mind]

Well, at least for this moment, I remember now. That will have to do.

...

[She reaches up and over to put her hand on his arm.]

...I'll remember it for you. Until you can remember it again for good.

[antaressnipe]

[... smiling faintly]

I would appreciate that.

[Selfish as it may be, he does not want to forget what he suspects to be the only memory of his mother.]

... I hope in the end, she found some peace.

[dawnblushed]

I hope so, too.

[she also hopes his mother got over her revulsion and that they were able to make nice memories but greek myths are not nice, usually.]
