"I know that better than anyone." The basket filled with steaming lavender-encrusted biscuits was sat down with a saucer of complimentary syrup and butterfly honey nectar, a hand wordlessly gesturing to them for Charlie to take as much as she liked - they were made for her, after all! "What is your plan? I've been dying to hear it."

There's the question. It was coming and Lilith knew that, she practiced for it. For seven years. Combing over it and figuring the best phrasing, how to confess what had taken her away without communication for so long. In the end, through all that practice, she opted for going with the motion of the conversation.

"I was on a mission for diplomacy, dandelion." Somewhat vague, but true. "It became more complicated than I had anticipated. I never intended to go without communication the way that I did," Her thumb strokes Charlie's cheek. "where I was, there was no service."

There was a twist in her mother's chest that felt almost visceral. Guilt has a way of feeling so physical, it hurts. Lilith lays her palm over the open jar filled with grazing horseflies neighing for attention, glancing to Charlie.

"What would he say?"
