Bocahr Settlement: The Journey (18)

"Like… Like your old home?" Garvana said, her voice quivering slightly, "What do you mean by that, Lady Zarya?"

"My home! I have one in the middle of the forest! We have a small house. In front of that, we have a river where I always play with Neverio, Erina, Lorco, Yarkel, and the others!"

All the while she was explaining, Zarya was making gestures as wide as her arms could reach. The smile on her face was unfading, remembering the fun times she had spent in the settlement of the Vaslavis Clan. 

Although Zarya appeared to be cheery, Garvana was bothered by what she was seeing. It's because tears were running down the little girl's cheeks. 

The woman immediately dropped to her knees and caught Zarya in an embrace. The little girl was confused about what was happening, so she looked at Garvana with curious eyes.

Zarya still didn't know that she was crying.
