My Hearts Still On The Floor
Gloom

She hadn't realized that she had slipped into a trance like state, focusing on the waves to try to calm herself. It wasn't until she felt someone press against her that she awoke, startled and jumping slightly where she lay. Her heart beat quickly in her chest until the scent of her daughter brought her ease, her tense body relaxing into the girl. A heavy sigh left her lips as Eu lifted her head, placing her throat against the back of Gloom's neck. Neither of them spoke for the moment, her nose finding anything that she could nuzzle into. It had been too long since she had been offered the comfort of her children, that each time was like waking from the worst nightmare to remember that it was all a dream. She couldn't change the past, she knew that, and yet that didn't stop her from longing for all those missed memories. Who was Gloom now? What did she like? What did she fear? There were so many things that she wanted to ask, and yet not sure how to breach the subject. Her daughter seemed to be the only one who had greeted her with such a welcome, easing some of her anxieties towards it all. She knew that there was a lot to mend, but it gave her great comfort to know that the small girl still loved her so deeply.
After several moments of silence. Eulogy picked up her head to lick Gloom's ear, a soft rumble following the loving touch. "What is it that you want to do today?" She asked gently, wishing nothing more than to spend the day at her daughter's side, other than perhaps having all of her family here with them. Small steps, it was hopefully only a matter of time before she didn't need to worry about that anymore. For now Eu would cling fast to any special moment she was presented, not wanting to take anything for granted. So whatever it may be, she would do it for Gloom, each moment more precious than the last. She had thought that she had an affinity for life after what she had been through, but not even that measured up to the guilt and pain of being lost to her children for so long.
