Hallucinations? Confusion riddled her delicate features, causing her to quirk up a nonexistent eyebrow. What was happening here? What secrets did these islands hide? Worry found its way into her heart at that, for she did not want her daughter to spend the rest of her days on some island that forced you to see things that were not there. It was crushing to be haunted by ghosts, and it was not a fitting lifestyle for Lil.
Even so, Suiteheart could not bare trying to take that from Lil. This was the girl's home, despite possible dangers. And Lil was growing up. Despite wanting to shield her from every possible bad thing out there, she had to let her daughter experience the world. She had to let her grow up.
The polar bear opened her maw to speak, to assure her daughter she was not a figment of her imagination or the island, but Lil began to yell. Accusations began to fly, and her rounded ears flew backwards. Abandoned her...? "No, Lil... When the islands started falling apart, I was trying to get everyone down the staircase-" Vivid memories flew across her mind's eye. She could see the terrified faces and she could hear their screams. "And I went back for you and Eli and Lissa, but you were all gone. Margaery and I looked and looked while everything fell down around us. And there was fucking nothing left..." Her voice grew shaky and tears surfaced in her eyes.
She had tried so hard to save everyone, but she had somehow managed to fuck it all up anyway.
"I - we... We never meant to hurt you, Lil. You have to know that. Deep down, you have to believe that," the bear rumbled, sounding so terribly exhausted from this fight already. Lil was a believing creature. And when her mind conjured up the idea that Suiteheart and Margaery were the same as her birth mother, she undoubtedly believed it.
"I looked for you for so long, and this place was last on my list. I didn't see you at the party, but something inside of me knew you'd be here. And so I came to see for myself, pretending I was doing ambassador work. So how... how can you say I didn't try? That Margaery didn't try? You haven't spoken to us in a year, how could you think that?"
Oh, but little did Suiteheart know that Lil and Margaery had had a secret meeting. Granted, it was by chance, but Margy had not said anything to Suite about it. Their conversation, anything that was discussed - Suite was in the complete and utter dark on that.
"If I abandoned you, I wouldn't be here now. If I didn't want you in my life, I wouldn't have been looking for a year. I'm sorry it took so long to find you. I'm sorry I couldn't -"
She silenced herself completely as a message reached her. It was distant, messy. The words were difficult to comprehend, but she recognized the voice immediately. It was one of the souls. It was... It was Eli! Where was she? She was clearly not with Lil... And, oh, God, it sounded like she was in danger.
"Eli?" she whispered, hoping that this was not a hallucination like Lil had spoken of. Fear and hope intertwined within her heart, but fear soon overran the hope when she began feeling what her daughter was experiencing. She opened her mouth to speak, but she was paralyzed.
