First, there was the scent of Lil in the air - unmistakable and homey. The young woman was every bit a piece of her home as Margaery was, and the smell of her broke her heart. She thought she had forgotten it, but here it was, as plain as day. And poor Suiteheart thought she was going mad; first seeing her daughter and now scenting her? What was next, speaking to her apparition?
She reflexively took a step back, trying to steady herself. The ghost of her daughters would not leave her side, and as much as she took comfort from it, it hurt. She would see their smiling faces and hear their laughter. Some days, it was too much to handle, causing her to break down. So perhaps that's why tears welled up in her dark eyes when she saw the figure in the distance.
It was running towards her, and something inside of her knew it was her daughter. Though the creature appeared ghostlike, made up by her consciousness to hurt her, she was real. In her heart of hearts, she knew it. She didn't need to examine the notch in the girl's ear. She didn't need to see the earring. She didn't need to stare into those soft lilac eyes. No, she knew it was her girl. A mother's intuition, she supposed.
"Lil!" she called, voice happier than it had been in months. She let the tears fall freely now, no longer afraid to be emotional. This was her Lil, and Lil didn't mind that. "I can't believe you're here! I just came on a whim and -"
And then the girl before her crumbled. Everything inside of Suiteheart felt like it was breaking again. The anguish on Lilyspoises' face broke her heart. This was her daughter, and... and her appearance was causing this meltdown. The polar bear took a tentative step forward, hoping Lil would not continue to back away.
"No, Lil, it's me. It's Suiteheart, I promise. I'm real. I'm here," the Starstruck Guardian answered, trying to keep her voice calm (which was somewhat impossible). "Lil, you're okay. Please, listen, you're okay."
"Leave immediately!"
Suiteheart's mouth hung slightly agape, words unable to form. She managed to shake her head minutely as she still grasped at unreachable sentences. She... Lil wanted her to leave? [color=#73B1B7][b]"N-no... please..."
