My mother left me

"Maybe pa knows, hes suuuppperrr smart."

Armai got the impression that Memphis wasn't pleased with the way she answered her. She wished she'd been able to tell her something else. Like "hey, she'll be back soon. I'm sure she misses you guys." Or maybe even being able to tell her where she'd gone. Instead Armai was just as clueless as Memphis was. It hurt her to not be able to give her what she needed to hear, but it wasn't like she could lie to her. Maybe Xephyris would be able to find Limno.

The mind of a child was a fickle thing. It constantly changed direction and before Armai knew it she was shocked once more as another question fell from Memphis' lips. She sure did ask some rather unorthodox things. Wasn't she supposed to be enjoying romping across the beach and getting muddy right before it was time to go to sleep? She wasn't entirely sure what pups were supposed to act like so she couldn't be sure if this was normal or not. At least this was a question she could somewhat answer.

"It's like having my eyes closed constantly and not being able to open them. Or being stuck in the darkness with no moon or stars to provide light to guide me." It was the only way she could explain it simply to a child. She'd never been able to see before, but darkness was all she'd ever known. She'd gotten descriptions of the night sky before with stars sparkling in the sky and the moon to light up the earth. She supposed perpetual night was the only way to describe being blind.
