will you even notice
Aster continued to sip the tea, each sip a stroke further into the land of peppermint and new memories. The textures of the cottage, and Farrow, the fire, his human form, the new clothes around his neck, all of it were seeping into the taste, smell and feeling of peppermint in his mouth. Forever will this moment be peppermint for Aster.

As Farrow spoke again, Aster sensed the deepest twinge of loss at the mention of her mother. A mixture of remembrance and grief, as if a fresh wound. This was the first time Aster sensed a dreary coldness from Farrow, unlike the warmth from earlier.

>"So, what brings you out here this time of year? I was surprised to see a hummingbird in this cold!"

Even as she tried to change the topic and camouflage her sorrow with a smile, Aster noticed her mood stay dampened like coals that rolled away from the fire to simmer down on their own.

"Where is your mother now?" Aster asked, his eyes now watery. He began to miss his mother, though not greatly. As far as mothers went, his own was far from the level of warmth he received from Farrow. She gave him a brush of her feathers every now and then, or led their flock with a cheerful song, but no caress of his underbelly, nor closeness under a cozy roof. Only sky between them as they floated about the flowers of the Celestine Gardens.

He merely ignored her second question, still awaiting the response from the first. He wouldn't want to answer to her why he was all alone anyway, his memories of his the distant, ever lush, gardens he used to call home, as cold and distant as the wintry chill outside her door. He took another sip, the cozy memories of peppermint now stained with dabs of grief.

Aster stared intently into Farrow's eyes, awaiting their spark of warmth to return, for his next sip of peppermint to be like the first.
