Endeavors
"Alright birthday boys, time for a little family talk" Cebolla gathered Leif and Leo outside in the early morning before school started
"Yeah, I'm a birthday boy" Leo was feeling pumped
"What's this about?" Leif asked
It was time to consider the plans for November.
"You boy's know at the end of every month we move homes. We've decided at the end of this one we'll be moving to Ravenwood. You two are old enough to make your decision. If you'd like to join us, or if you'd rather stay here or move elsewhere." Kristen started
"That's easy, Leo and I want to stay here."
"Yeah, and since you're moving farther away I think I'll be ready to run the Clinic on my own too "
"That's a relief. When you were younger, I thought I'd have to sell it before if I ever wanted to retire but I'll be happy to pass Feather & Mask to you Leo. Though if you want to earn that Doctor's coat you need to study for a biology degree"
"I can do that!"
"What about you Leif? What'll you be studying?" Kristen asked
"Really?" Cebolla became curious
"Then even more reason to go, gotta put some respect on Grandma Eleanor's name"
"Now, why didn't you ever tell me my Mother in Law was royalty?"
"Leif, she's only ever mentioned it to me once, and she never told me the Family name. Your Grandfather once told me, but even looking it up myself I never found any mention of my Mom."
"..." Kristen couldn't really argue with that. She didn't want Leif getting disappointed in case he didn't find anything. All she knew was her mother left that life on her own accord, and likely had a reason for never bringing it up.
"Sounds good, then you two will remain here and your mother and I will be moving to Ravenwood. With Stripes and Egg of course." Cebolla summarized
"Hot Choco and I will hold the fort down"
The boy's left to prepare for the last day of school.
"Are you ok?" Cebolla noticed a change in Kris' demeanor
"Yeah, I just wish one of them would've wanted to join us"
"It was bound to happen one day. Don't worry, we'll still have each other. It'll be like old times, and besides we can still visit. If we give them the new house key, I bet they'll come over too"
That helped cheer Kristen up
