AU - Flashback: Age 5
Vincent's tiny limbs moved rapidly as he bolted through the forest, robes tearing on branches and occasionally tripping over a root or rock. He righted himself as fast as he could. He threw what meager charms and potions he'd stolen behind him whenever he could to deter his pursuers.

He knew who his father was.

Everyone knew.

Mother was going to send him away.

He was scared. More scared than he had ever been in his brief life.

Hildy could defeat anyone short of Lords Thor or Odin, but the house of Volstagg was too far away. He had only one place to turn.

The voices behind him drew closer as he came into the opening near the den. He took to the hill and threw himself into the entrance to Lady Rahne and Lord Hrimhari's den, framed by the tree's roots. "Lady Rahne! My Lord!" He squealed out a cry for help, out of breath, and already tattered and bruised from his flight.

	Vincent's head snaps up, almost getting salve in one eye. "...what.... why wouldst thou do that for me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hold Still!" Danielle insists.

"There are several reasons, young enchanter. Some thou'lt not understand until thou'rt older."

"And one, of course, is that we're all quite fond of you, Vincent," Rahne says warmly.

"But let us be clear: Thou must listen to what thou'rt told. And not wander or attempt sorcery without asking first. 'Tis best thou stayest with Moira and Danielle at all times. It will be some time until thou canst leave the forest."

The girls look pleased.

	Vincent goes still, both in surprise and at Danielle's bidding, but blushes up to his ears and resumes wringing a sleeve between his hands at Lady Rahne's words. "Yes... yes of course, my Lord and my Lady..." Vincent feebly agrees, scarcely able to process their generosity. He looks pleased as well though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There's a warm silence for a bit, punctuated only by Danielle's commentary as she finishes treating the wounds.

In this time, Moira looks back and forth from her playmate to her parents, face clearly in scrutinizing thought.

"Mummy?" She asks, loudly. "How long was it before you called Granny 'Mummy' instead of 'M'Lady'?"

Rahne smiles. "Oh, a very long time, dear. It's not the sort of change one makes all at once."

Moira nods, then.
