Beauty and the beast

Rose had a meltdown seeing her son with so little fat to cover his cheeks. She lost her noble composure and hugged Tom tight enough to stop the blood flowing to his brain.

She lessened her grip only when she saw the huge wound on the back of his head.

"I had to stitch him back, he got wounded during a rebellion." Claudia said, never stopping staring at the faithful in admiration.

Guiscard snarled. "I told you, rebellious phases often have children run away from their home."

Rose nodded and winked at Oswald. "Come over here, my hero."

Oswald did approach carelessly, but Tom who was still suffocating in his mother's breast pushed his friend away. "What did I just say? Don't accept anything from her." He whispered, as if everything his mother planned was a trap.

There was plenty of time for Guiscard, Rose and Risandro to talk, the investigator was already aware of the strange events that occurred in Revel, she spent a lot of time listening to Adelmo's story.
