Firefly Ravine not your little girl anymore

Ah. Marina only nodded for a moment as Leonore spoke, letting a brief silence fall between them.

It's only natural to miss those we love, she murmured, touching the girl's shoulder lightly with her nose. I'd be more concerned if you didn't miss her at all. Have you thought of going to see her? Marina couldn't claim to know all of the circumstances which had brought Leonore to her. Whether the girl had been abandoned or had left by her own choice, she didn't know. But if what she wanted was to see her mother, Marina would try to make it happen.
