It's a shame that you treat a lady so poorly. What have I done to deserve it? [Her pout might be effective if a giggle didn't interrupt it.] I'm not about to play the victim, Mun~, so why don't you be a good girl and let me go?

Then tell me, Small Lady. Tell me so that I may understand.

[unlovedmoon]

I absorbed the Dark Crystal. [Yet if she lets her feelings overcome her, she has more than enough power to fight it.] I tried to trick Papa.

[moonlit_star]

[She held Small Lady's cheek.] Then we'll have to make you stronger than the Dark Crystal and you'll have to apologize to papa.

[unlovedmoon]

[She leans into the touch despite herself.] D-Do you think he'll ever forgive me?

W-Will you forgive me, Mama?

[moonlit_star]

Of course he will. And I will too. You're our daughter, Small Lady. Our precious girl and only heiress.

We will get rid of the dark crystal together.

[unlovedmoon]

[Her appearance begins to alter, but she still looks like an adult.]

Mama, Wiseman is powerful. He could hurt you.

[moonlit_star]

He will certainly try. [She brushed back a stray strand of Small Lady's hair.] But I have you and everyone else to protect. He can try all he wants. He will not succeed.

Sorry for the wait. Was working on this. :)

[lovedmoon]

Everything is different when you're around, Mama. [Her voice softens and the upside down moon on her forehead fades.]

No worries! <3

[moonlit_star]

That's because I'm telling the truth, Small Lady. I could never hate you. Every fiber in my being loves you. I'm so sorry you felt lonely, my sweet girl.

<3

[lovedmoon]

I was scared. [She presses herself against her mother, closing her eyes tightly.] I thought I made everything worse!

[moonlit_star]

You made a mistake. And that's alright. Growing up is all about stumbling and falling and getting back up again. But running away doesn't fix those mistakes, Small Lady. We must be brave and face what we have done.

You went back in time to help me. You were so very brave. Your father knows that too. I know you have the strength in you to do everything.

[She holds onto Small Lady and rubs her back.]

[lovedmoon]

[Now is the time for her to be a little girl again. She lets herself be held and she lets herself cling to her warm and very much awake mother. Wiseman could never hope to compete with this.]

I missed you! [The forgiveness her mother gives freely makes everything before now seem like a nightmare. A long one.] I love you, Mama. I won't run away again.

[moonlit_star]

[She holds her daughter close, humming softly.] I love you too, Small Lady. And I'm very proud of you. Is your writer sending you anywhere?

[lovedmoon]

[Chibi-Usa tucks her face against her mother's neck.] I don't know yet. This is my first time outside.

[moonlit_star]

[She 'hmms' as she just holds her daughter.] Many of the games are dangerous. I want you to be very careful if you go somewhere.
