cover your crystal eyes
It's a good thing the bond is so narrowed between them, because Hotaru would have many feelings on that matter if she knew the truth. His involvement wouldn't have changed her perception of Cordelia, but it would have made her see him in a different light.
Instead she laughs, fond and warm, at the mention of her daughter and the ensuing compliment. "I swear she's even more charming than I was at that age. I feel I've gotten rusty in my old age." Winking at him, she lifts her foot out of the water and idly watches the droplets fall before lowering it once more so the chill can't set in against her damp skin. "I admit sometimes it's hard being so far away from her." A quiet admission that is weighted with her sincerity. Noah might understand now that he has children of his own, but so few others do. Halo will always be her home, but it keeps her on the other side of the world from the only child she has left.
