@lunestri (marlene & 'lene')
"i'm, um, family. a cousin of your mama's."
she was sure she was breaking some kind of timetravel rule. going into the past wasn't her intention. a lucky accident she intended to make use of to help save aerith and help the team. what she wasn't expecting was to meet her. a girl she had seen in reflections and pictures. herself.
"i'm Lene." she said, carefully dropping into a crouch to be more at eye level with the littler girl. her younger self. it was hard to believe that she had ever been that tiny. so sweet and small. "its-its very nice to meet you, marlene. da- your daddy said we should hang out together for a little bit while he takes care of a few things. does that sound okay with you?"
