DH: Peter Lazarus Faulkner (wavy light brown hair, blue eyes) [40]

DS: Victor Hudson Faulkner-Craven (curly light brown hair, green eyes) [14]

DD: Linza Aloida Faulkner-Craven (wavy auburn hair, green eyes) [2]
Peter and Rozz with Victor, Jason, and Linza
Five years later, and much has gone down in the Faulkner-Craven home. Peter and Rozz welcomed the child they plan to be their last, Linza Faulkner-Craven. Named after her maternal grandmother's nickname, Linza bears a striking resemblance to the late Lindsey Craven, with her and Rozz's auburn hair and the green eyes Victor also inherited. Victor has grown into a charming tween, eager to start high school come autumn. With an intellect as sharp as either of his parents, soft-spoken Victor has developed a deep love for teaching and hopes to one day teach disabled students, a passion largely inspired by his baby brother. Jason, now six, still doesn't speak and was diagnosed with Deafness soon after we last left the family. Peter, Rozz, and Victor immediately began taking sign language classes with Jason, deeply relieved to be able to communicate with him on his level, and Linza is being raised with both English and ASL. Jason's disability and unusual appearance make him the target of bullying, but the family fiercely love and protect him. It should go without saying that they were wary when a letter arrived from Loreley Borbeth, a woman none of the family knew, proclaiming herself as a metaphysical empath. Loreley wrote that she had dreamt of a young boy with blue-and-brown eyes and black hair who spoke to her without opening his mouth, and that she heavily suspected he was an empath too. He told her his name was Jason Faulkner-Craven, and she had found the family to write to them about becoming his mentor. Peter and Rozz were ready to draft a fiery reply to stop mocking their child, but they continued reading and saw that Loreley had included information she couldn't have known otherwise: Jason's exact birth time and the meal he had asked for breakfast that morning, which he had told her he craved in the dream. Shaken, the couple decided to write back and invite Loreley to meet them at their home, while Victor played with Jason in his room. With a kind face and gentle voice, Loreley sipped lavender tea and told the couple of her own difficult childhood as an empath, unable to understand her powers. She asked if Jason avoided crowds, and when warily told he did, explained that she spent years hiding from crowds because of the barrage of experiencing so many people's emotions at once. The whole time, Peter and Rozz were unable to look away from Loreley's eyes: the same blue-and-brown as their son. After speaking for hours, the couple told Victor to bring his brother down to meet Loreley. As she bent to his level and spoke to him, Jason nodded and signed back. Shocked, the family had no choice but to believe Loreley. After a long discussion, they've decided to accompany Jason to Loreley's home once every Saturday, learning more about his powers alongside him.
