Hunter's Woods Writing Prompts

   Beatrix and Berkeley's relationship is... weird, to say the least. Berkeley, for obvious reasons, cares deeply about Beatrix, but their relationship to her is simultaneously close and distant - Amicable, but with an undertone of awkward discomfort. And in spite of her friendliness towards them, Beatrix finds Berkeley a little odd, both in terms of their nature as a god and in terms of their personality and the way they behave.
   In spite of the strange nature of their relationship, however, both do want to be on good terms with the other, and so when it comes to apologizing, both are willing to do so - Albeit one moreso than the other. Beatrix can be rather stubborn at times, so it may take her some time to apologize if she doesn't see her own fault right away - Though for what it's worth, Berkeley doesn't hold that against her. They might be younger, technically, but they had eight lives worth of experience and memories to draw upon; Beatrix was still a child. And...
   If either of them should be apologizing, in Berkeley's eyes, it should be them. After all, they were her mother - The one who was supposed to be there for her, to protect her and care for her. And yet here they were now, having allowed her to be taken away, then having been unable to be there to make sure her new family truly wanted her, and still later unable to be there for her when the worst came to pass. And now, because of that, she was out here, wandering lost in the world, trying to find the second family that had abandoned her (Twice. She'd been abandoned by her family twice. Once by her mother, and then by her humans. What of her siblings? Had they shared in her fate? The thought made them feel ill), and Berkeley was stuck in a form she didn't recognize, unable to help her or even find the courage to tell her the truth about the relationship they once held.
   Berkeley apologizes a lot. More than Beatrix can really make sense of, and for every little thing, even ones which really don't require an "I'm sorry." It comes easily to them. Too easily.
   It worries her, sometimes.
