Eliora was so glad for Annie in the same way she was glad for every child that was saved by Morgan Heights. They were better off here, happier here. Not only that, but she was glad to have a daughter and someone she could look after. After losing Ivy, she thought she'd never be able to bring herself to connect with children again but the idea of saving Alianna and seeing her in that awful state had been more than Eliora could bear. How could she leave a sweet little girl with people like that? And so she had gone to save her. She had seen her father in her own vision and through them, she recieved both her Reckoning Wings and her daughter, and she couldn't be happier now. Even with all the difficulties that came with raising a child, Eliora didn't regret a single moment of it.

She'd been wandering around all day asking for her daughter and asking for her. She'd been hoping they'd be able to go out to lunch together. She felt bad for often leaving Alianna to her own devices throughout the day but it was nearly impossible to avoid given her occupation. She knew that her fellow citizens would look after her, though, and she hoped that Annie understood. After asking around, Eliora learned her daughter was apparently in the train station, although she couldn't imagine what for. There wasn't much for a child, or anyone, to do there. The train had been out of service for a very long time and all that was left was old relics and the small elevated platform that'd been moved there so she could speak to a large group of people while still being visible. Eliora wasn't the tallest woman to say the least and she always wanted to be sure everyone could see and understand her during such gatherings.

When she entered and saw what the child was doing, a light smile came to her lips and she quickly moved forward. "It looks like you need some help, darling. I think I can help you reach that bit up there if you'd like," she tried to speak a bit louder than usual and signed as she spoke, despite the fact she wasn't sure if Alianna had seen her yet. It was a habit she picked up. Soon after realizing she had trouble hearing, Eliora had taken her to a doctor but they said there wasn't much that could be done to enhance it. So, that was when she decided to learn sign language to better understand and communicate with her new daughter, and it'd worked out pretty well so far. She thought the paintings in the train station were nice. Besides, a little color never hurt anything and the way it was currently decorated was rather boring anyway.
