Homeless forever, probably.

It's alright, mun. I know there aren't many places out there for someone like me.

But I appreciate the chance at being able to see my sons again. I miss them both, Noatak especially... I thank you for this chance to see who they've become.

what's this "close to" shit? My face is raining.

[ Noatak relents and pulls away with his hands anchored to his mother's thin shoulders that carried a burden should have never been forced upon her. ]

It will be just like the good old days, and better besides.

...okay, mine is too. I admit it. WHY DID I MAKE THIS POST.

[She's gotten a bit thinner since her family more or less ceased to be. Qaunak was never a big woman, but without her boys bickering over dinner or even her husband burning the food in his attempts at cooking, the table was something to be avoided. She hasn't been taking very good care of herself... because she had no reason to. Some days she laid in bed and couldn't summon up the willpower to get up at all.

But that's over now. Noatak is here. She's not alone. And he doesn't hate her for all her failings those years ago.]

Is your favorite food still seal slices and stewed sea prunes? It's been a while, but I can make you some. I didn't throw out any of your things... I, I just couldn't. I missed you. [And now happy tears are brewing, but she wipes them on her sleeve.] I must look like such a wreck. I'm sorry, Noatak.
