After sending Aniue away, Garnet turned to Sylphy, who was coaxing Ayri and called aside for a moment.
"Yes, Mother, what's the matter?" Sylphy asked, confusedly.
"Honey, do me a favour, could you please stay with us tonight instead of going back? I know you might want to spend some quality time with Myne, but I think Ayri needs you more at this moment, and I don't know how to comfort her alone," Garnet requested softly, her eyes becoming watery, with a pitiful expression plastered on her beautiful face.
"But..." Sylphy, who had already made plans with Myne, suddenly heard Garnet's strange but reasonable request and didn't know what to say. On one side was the pleasurable moment with Myne she had been dreaming of for months, on the other side, her dear little sister's distress and her mother's evident need tugged at her heartstrings.
