[ The sound of her own mother crying like this isn't something Lucina wanted to listen to. She heard it once upon a time, when her father died and there was a terrible funeral and it didn't look like this would ever look up ( to be fair, it didn't ).
But to hear it like this, when things are ( theoretically ) alright — it causes a pang in Lucina's chest like no other, until all she could do is hold on to her mother and hope that it all passes. She's terrible at comfort — all she's known is how to pick oneself back up after a long, harsh day on the battle field, to put on a brave face and lead her troops yet again. She begins to slowly smooth her hand down her mother's back, at least until — ] Huh?
[ It takes Lucina a moment, but what Olivia said isn't normal. She's certain she hasn't grown in the last few weeks, tops. It's suddenly too easy to not cry, not when there's a million questions bouncing around in her head. Is this a trap? No, no Risen could imitate her mother like this. This is her, yet— ]
Mother, [ She begins, voice slow and careful, slowly untangling herself away until she's looking at Olivia in the face, expression suddenly grave. ] What do you mean?
