"Mother, it's good to see you again." Torq spoke happily.
"Don't talk to me," MyuraBuntara was curt, expressing with a tone of disappointment as she turned around and walked away from the house.
"Mother!" Came a shout from the house as AuraBuntara rushed out in a hurry.
"Are you…leaving?" AuraBuntara teared up, "Won't you…won't you even acknowledge my existence now?"
"You're alive and well," MyuraBuntara snorted, "Isn't that enough?"
Then, without uttering another word, she took her leave, stopping once she had reached the flight of stairs to shout at Torq, "Are you coming or not?"
"Brother," AuraBuntara held the sleeve of Torq's robe, " Why is mother behaving distant to us?"
"She's angry at me," Torq said, "I think she didn't want me to participate in the expedition."
"Anyway, don't worry too much and keep training, alright?" Torq patted her head and took his leave, "We'll all return in two years."
