Emma was cheerfully walking through the halls, her usual bright smile plastered on her face as her children ran past her

"Mama! Mama!" One of her boys called out. Castor

"Oh! Yes, sweetheart?" Emma smiled

"We made you drawings!" the other boy, Orion, announced, holding up the papers

"I love them!" She ruffled their strawberry blonde hair "my darling little artists!"

"Saturn and Neptune made some too!" Orion exclaimed, pointing to the older girls behind them. Saturn stood proudly while Neptune was shy

"Come here, loves, may I see?" Emma asked, giving the girls her usual smile

"Here, mama!" Saturn smiled handing her paper to the older woman, as did Neptune

"Why does Mama look so sad in yours, Neptune?" Orion asked the older girl

"Because she is" Neptune muttered in her usual tired voice

"You're sad, Mama?" Castor asked "why are you sad?" He continued as Orion and Saturn fussed as well

"Shh~... I'm not sad, my little angels..." Emma continued smiling, albeit calmer, taking all four drawings in her hands "I'll hang them up now, but you should go to sleep, its almost 9pm" the children reluctantly obeyed, heading upstairs to the bedrooms. As soon as they were out of sight and earshot, Emma's smile immediately dropped. She sighed, hanging up the drawings before going upstairs herself, entering her room and flopping down onto her bed. Was she really being that obvious? Neptune knew she wasn't really happy, that makes sense, she's very observant... But how quickly the others believed her was sad. She didn't want to worry her darling little blossoms. Was she that pathetic?
