He wasn't sure what she was doing when his mother came so close to him, and he certainly hadn't expected a kiss. Memories of being tucked into bed with a kiss good night surfaced, making his reaction slightly delayed as he stepped back from her.
Laharl hadn't thought of that in a long, long time. He couldn't say he disliked the reminder.
Slightly flustered, he managed to nod. "I'll try not to."
It was the best he could promise. It would be up to his old man to keep her safe.
Laharl's gaze lingered on his mother for a moment longer, before turning away. He felt terribly awkward again, "I... I guess I'll see you... both uh... later." Both his parents. Together. Alive. Awkward was really an understatement about all this really.
He paused only to hear any last words from them, before heading off.
