[I am a very annoyed chibi and trying to brush self off. Also might be wandering back from the library.]

[fearsmadeflesh]

Oh there you are, my little darling!

[thekingsgambit]

[Freezes in his motions.]

[fearsmadeflesh]

[laughs]

Now you're being silly - aren't you young again? So why can't you face your mother?

[thekingsgambit]

[Again?

No, no, she isn't real. This place plays tricks. Wasn't that what he was worried about with Euphy's cake before? Wasn't that what the others had told him?

If-if he keeps on walking, that voice will go away. He just has to get back to the cabin...]

[fearsmadeflesh]

[starts to approach]

Lelouch vi Britannia, I raised my son with better manners than this!

[thekingsgambit]

[Jumps! And spins around reflexively.

His face goes completely ashen when he sees her and he barely resists the urge to run toward her. She looks so very real... just like he remembers her before...

Wait, the way time works here. It brought Nunnally and Euphy from before the incident and it brought Suzaku from after. And then Cornelia was far into the future. Maybe... this place had brought his mother from before too...]

[fearsmadeflesh]

[stops right in front of him]

Look at you, staring at your mother with such distrusting eyes. I wonder what I can do to bring their sparkle back to them...

[starts to circle him, playfully]

[thekingsgambit]

[Swallows, watching her more desperately.]

It's-It's really you... ?

[fearsmadeflesh]

[circles him a few more times, humming what should be a familiar tune all the while, before stopping back in front of him.]

Of course it is, dear. I'm one of a kind, after all.

[thekingsgambit]

[Blinks at the tune, remembering the hours his mother and him had spent working on it in secret. Whenever she could drag him away from his books or games with Schneizel. A special present for Nunnally's birthday. Nobody else could possibly know about it.

A longing smile falls over him, as he voice comes out choked.]

Mother... I'm... so glad to see you.

[fearsmadeflesh]

[crouches down, neat and prim and elegant]

And I'm so glad to hear that! Come give your mother your biggest, warmest, most loving hug!

[thekingsgambit]

[Still has that niggling apprehension in the back of his head, but it's just so hard to pay attention to that when Marianne is here, right in front of him, just like always. Back before everything was changed forever.

He steps forward to do just as she has said.]

[fearsmadeflesh]

[have some perfect mommy squishes and a kiss on the crown of your head, just like you remember

soon she pulls away]

There, are you feeling better now? I certainly am; my sweet son must have missed his favourite mother terribly.

[thekingsgambit]

[Staring back at her and laughing a little, doubts since chased away by all the familiar behaviors.]

Mm, but it's weird to call yourself that when you're my only mother too.

[fearsmadeflesh]

Weird?

[payback of tickling]

You wound me! Oh, whatever am I to do with a son who finds my words weird...
