A Kiss for Mother

"You think you're a hero? Taking orders from a weak, old, blind woman; don't you have a mind of your own?"
~Fable 2 Banshee


I am such a sap.

I got the idea for this picture while listening to some Celtic music, actually. I was thinking of the ten years that Sparrow (the main Hero in Fable 2) spent in the Gypsy Camp before they set out to stop Lucien. What were those years like? I kept wondering, and wondering how Theresa was involved in that time. After all, she's the one that brought Sparrow there, having rescued them after their short time with Lucien. Perhaps Sparrow considered Theresa a mother figure, or at least a very close friend.

So why the kiss? Maybe Sparrow just wants to give Theresa a token of appreciation for what she did for him (I used the male version of Sparrow, just because I find mother-son things to be so adorable). That, or perhaps Sparrow's giving her a kiss because he was dared to.

I'll be perfectly honest: I have no idea of the reaction Theresa would have had if young Sparrow had done this. I kept her usual smile on however, considering she probably just wants to nurture the behavior of Sparrow looking up to her and seeking her for guidance.

The Fable 2 ideas are reeling in my mind; it's crazy.
