The confession that Geric was lost without his brother served to confirm a lot about what she believed. Everyone either treated him like a child or a screw up that needed things done for him. Even now, it seemed Geric was waiting for someone else to help him and when she actually had offered to do most of the work, he still wasn't pleased with that direction. So it was time for him to step up and try solving his problem on the front line. She wasn't going to leave him to do it all on his own but he was going to do it.
"I'm only pushing so hard because I care about you and I don't want this to become a bigger issue by putting it off any longer. I'll help you where you need it and even go with you to see her if you'd like." She leaned over and kissed the crown of his head. With his age so close to Qu'va's, it had always been easier to see him as another son than a brother, though Quilriana did try her best to treat him as a friend. But sometimes a fretting and caring mother was what was needed. She would play mother now and switch back to co-conspirator later on after Geric had thought about his options some more.
"Now. If you wouldn't mind bringing the clothes in from the line, I'll start working on lunch for us. How does warming up the soup from last night with grilled cheese sandwiches sound?" Her kids always loved that combination on gloomy days and when they wanted a little comfort food and Quilriana wondered if it would have the same effect on Geric.
