>>6162375As you look down, your eyes go to your granddaughter. Seeing her showing a strong front, but you can feel her power starting to decline once more. Now showing any signs of weakness before the three Earthings, no longer looking as comfortable by them. You aren't sure what was said between them, but you can tell she needs help. So, as you descend towards her, powering back down to your base form, you reach out telepathically. Not to Marron, but to your daughter who can help her.
“Cauli, are you busy? Have someone here who needs your help.” you <span class="mu-i">think</span> to your daughter. “She's a time traveler, so don't freak out if your seal activates.”
“A time traveler? Why are you wanting to help her?” Caulifla asks, you feeling her concern and worry through the mental link. “Everything okay?”
“Yeah, but I just met one of your nieces.” you tell her, feeling her shock. A moment later, as you land down by Marron and the three Earthlings, Caulifla appears. Shocking everyone, the four of them along with the Namekian all recoiling at her appearance. “Caulifla, this is your niece, Marron. Marron, this is, well, one of your Aunts, Caulifla.”
“Caulifla?” Marron asks, you seeing no sign of recognition in her eyes. Seems that she never met her aunt in that timeline. “You're my...?”
“Marron, huh? It's good to meet you. Hold still, I'll take care of you.” your daughter says, kneeling by her as she raises the chime in her left hand. You see the Namekian recoil at this, no doubt sensing the divine energy swelling within her. Then, with a final ring, Cauli unleashes a wave of her cool healing magic. You feel it infuse your being, taking a deep breath then sigh out. All the Earthlings recoil a bit, looking confused between each other as Cauli's magic infuses them. But Marron's eyes widen, taking a much deeper, fuller breath than any you've seen her take before. It looks like she was far more injured than she let on, you watching her visibly relax before your daughter offers her hand. “There. You look like you're feeling better, are you alright?”
“Y-Yeah, thank you.” she says, taking your daughter's offered hand. “So, you're my aunt, huh? I didn't know my mother had a sibling.”
“A? Hahahaha.” Cauli laughs as the two release hands, your granddaughter looking on confused. “Got much more than one, kid.”
“Wait, really?” Marron asks, looking from Cauli to you in confusion. “I have more aunts?”
“And uncles. You'll get to meet them all.” you say, but then her eyes widen. Marron looks to you uneasily, seeing a small bit of hope in her eyes.
“I-Is... Is Mom...?” she asks hesitantly, almost afraid of hearing the answer.
