[Scared. This kid is scared and it makes Lightning's heart hurt. She keeps the fire in her palm, showing no sign of releasing it even as that name makes her jolt as if she were just struck by the lightning crashing down outside. Thunder rumbles overhead, masking her soft whisper of "Farron?".
But, really, looking at Hope...there's no denying it now. The curve of the nose, the cheekbones. It's not like looking in a mirror, so much as the still heart-known family photo that had hung on the walls.
Hope--this Hope--looks like Isabelle Farron. Like Lightning's mother.
Lightning stares, eyes widening by the second. How is this even--no. Asking how it's possible after everything else they've been through is stupid. Even so, it's clearly knocked her for a loop. Hope Farron. She'd seen Hope as a younger brother for a while now, sure, but to be actually related to him in some world...the spell flickers, her focus wavering, but she doesn't move. Doesn't release it on this poor soaked kid.]
If you're a Farron, then I'm...not your Lightning.
[Is that the way to put this? They've seen travelers from a dozen worlds, some faces familiar and others not. But this? How does she even begin to explain.]
