>art by Decial10>>6162678“I'm ready.” your daughter suddenly <span class="mu-i">thinks</span> to you, clearly eager to meet this mystery guest of yours.
“Sounds good. We'll be there shortly.” you reply, looking down at Marron as she starts to regain her composure. Taking a deep, shaky breath she then pulls back, you releasing her a bit as she sighs out. “Feeling better kiddo?”
“Y-Yeah. Sorry, I didn't mean to fall apart.” she says, blushing a bit as you reach up, ruffling her hair with your left.
“It's okay. I get it.” you tell her, the younger woman giving you a nod of understanding. “Now, how about we get you cleaned up? Someone wants to meet you.”
“Me? Who...?” she starts, but then you see her eyes widening. “Hold on. You mean-?”
“Yes. She doesn't know who you are, I didn't tell her your relation to her. But she does know we're coming.” you tell her, Marron wiping her face on the one sleeve she's got left. “Are you ready?”
“I'm ready.” she replies, taking a deep, steadying breath and slowly exhaling, her breath surprisingly similar to the Hamon breathing the late Guardian had first taught. Leaving you to wonder if that's something she knows? Either way, raising your right to your forehead, she grabs onto your left, you reaching back out to Chaya.
“We're ready.” you <span class="mu-i">think</span>, your daughter saying she's ready. Then, with a thought vanish, leaving Planet Namek behind. One instant you're on the Namekian homeworld, the next find yourself in your eldest daughter's training room, it reeking of sweat. Where your daughter is wiping her forehead with her top, standing in the now-deactivated gravity chamber. “Hey Chaya, we're here.”
“Oh, Dad, there you-” she says, turning around then freezes as she sees Marron. Who, similarly, also freezes in place, the two women almost statuesque as they stare at each other. “Who...?”
“...Mom? Is that really you?” Marron asks, your daughter's eyes widening in shock. Dropping her shirt, she holds her arms open to her sides, leaving herself open for a hug. Which Marron, showing ZERO hesitation instantly launches herself over, the two women slamming into each other. And despite having just cried herself out on you a moment ago, the waterworks start right back up. But, this time, she isn't alone, as you see tears forming in your daughter's eyes as well.
Well? What now?
>Stick around, you're curious how this'll play out>Leave them to their moment together, tell Chaya telepathically to reach out when they're done talking one-on-one>Other(write in)?
