Bringing Sarah Home

[onemorebounty]

*Stormhold, in the wild realms of Faerie, is a great crag of a castle, chiseled into the upper reaches of a mountain that would daunt the boldest mortal climbers. It is the seat from which a fallen star rules, a bulwark against the goblins of the north, and perhaps incongruously, the place Samus Aran calls home

"MOMMY!"

Poor Sarah, she's going to have no idea what's happening. At first there was a quiet room, and then all of a sudden there's a blur of flying green jellyfish that attaches itself to Samus' shoulder and upper arm and pokes Sarah's head with a tentacle. "Hi mommy! I missed you! Who's this?"

The girl in Samus's arms stiffens when the flying blur of something hurtles toward them. She pulls away from the prodding tentacle as much as she can, eyes wide, wider than wide. "Not a monster, not a monster," she says to herself softly, quickly.

It's alright, Sarah, she's just happy to see us.

*Samus' voice is a soothing croon, and quite fond as she addresses her daughter.*

I've missed you, too, sweetie, I've missed you too. This is Sarah, and she's going to be staying with us. Sarah, this is Ling, my daughter. I told you about her before we came.

*She adds a soft chitter of metroid-speak, for Ling's benefit. To Sarah, it'll sound like chirps and warbles.*

[She's a little shy. Some bad people and monsters scared her recently.]

When Sarah pulls away, Ling stops, scuttering around to perch on Samus' back to peek over her shoulder at the girl.

"Hello Sarah."

To her mommy, she adds, [She's pretty. Is she hungry? I could get her food. From the kitchen.]
