"I am too," Lucy says back quietly and doesn't open her eyes.

Just presses her face to Mary's hair.

"So glad. If--"

If I could stay

If I could be more

If I could have a daughter she'd be like you

If I could bear it I would


If is a thousand million statements of not-is, and so Lucy kisses Mary again and cradles her close and doesn't make herself not cry for the moment.

"Lady Mary. Lioness to be if ever I knew one," she whispers and it's some of the ifs that make her do so.
