El…probably isn’t the best daughter. at least, not where Aliana is concerned. for all the time she spends with Chi, soaking in his attention and trying to impress him, she barely seems to see her mother outside of mealtimes and such. it isn’t that El avoids Mama, exactly. they’ve just never been very close. and ordinarily, El would be quite happy to let this distance lie, undisturbed, between them. but this morning she’d woken from a rather upsetting dream, in which Aliana had disappeared rather suddenly. just…vanished into smoke right before El’s eyes. and when El woke to find morning light streaming in from the den, she’d sat up in bed with a hollow feeling in her chest, feeling a strange, unaccountable sense of loss. so now she finds herself lingering in the mouth of the healer’s den, a small handful of flowers clutched between her teeth. maybe, if she just catches a glimpse of her mother alive and well, it’ll settle this uncomfortable itch beneath her pelt. as much as she likes to pretend otherwise, El is still a child - and sometimes children need their mothers. |
