"Yeah, my mom is cool. She's a singer," Chris decided to leave out the 'alt-country' part since the last 2 times he mentioned that to people they had actually gagged. Maybe alt-country was an acquired taste? Either way, he knew Apollo liked it and Will thought that counted for a lot. "So she's kind of all about creativity and individuality. She took me to get my tattoo herself. I told her I wanted to do something in honor of Apollo and she kind of went in head first. So, she's cool. When I get to see her. She's usually not around, on tour and stuff."

Or when he was there he was backstage and it was lonely. In a way, Will and Wille had similar but opposite problems. Will grew up with his mom in the spotlight, hiding backstage, feeling alone and neglected.

Yeah, Wilhelm knows something about feeling alone and neglected. He would be surprised to learn that Will, who's so upbeat and sunny, has spent his upbringing feeling the same way. But he can feel a shadow crossing when his friend says, when I get to see her, and he wonders if it was hard for Will to have a mom who was always busy with something else.

"My mom was really busy with work too. I get it."

Since they're sitting side by side, he nudges his shoulder against Will's as a show of solidarity.

"That's cool, though, that she supported your decision."

He had nearly forgotten that Will has a tattoo too — it's not like they ever hang out shirtless. He'd only seen it at that festival the vampires hosted in Ikorr, and...Wilhelm had been less than sober that night. Much less than sober.
