"You look more than okay. You look breathtaking." He gently took his hands to make sure he'd stop him from fussing over his collar and cuffs. The bruises were covered and Dal was fine. And if she saw them then she wouldn't judge him for them in the slightest. The farthest thing from it.

He pressed a kiss to his lips then got his phone so he could call his mother. She was clearly delighted on the other end and he smiled when he hung up before taking Dal down to wait for her arrival.

And when she came it was in a rush. Bursting through the door without care.

"Where is he? Where is my new son? Oh! Precious boy. Beautiful boy." She immediately when to cup Dal's face, much shorter than him and with motherly sort of curves. She smiled up at him though. "Ahhhh. You need to eat. So thin! Come. I'll make you food."

Just like that she was headed for the kitchen, not taking no for an answer.
