I've come across a bit of an issue in a scene of Winter's Queen I'm drafting out. Basically, the father and uncle of the MC go to visit their elderly mother prior to heading into Faerie via Stonehenge. I'm having trouble figuring out how to refer to the mother in the narration. The scene is from the POV of the MC's father, Vincent, but the aforesaid uncle is Vincent's brother. Would it be weird to refer to their mother in the narration as "their mother", or should I use "his mother", or maybe her name? So far I've been using "their mother", but it seems to not quite work. For comparison's sake, when writing the teenage MC's POV, Vincent is always referred to in the narration as "her dad". But adult characters are different than teens, so what works for one might not work for the other. What do you guys think?
