Celine was surprised to her Emma call her mom but she ended up smiling about it and strokes the girl's hair as she eats. Some birds and insects from the jungle came flying into the ruin and collected nourishment from the various plants growing around. Normally they would just go about their business but some of the younger birds were curious about the human girl sitting by Celine.
One of the grown birds landed on Celine's shoulder and told her what has been going on in the jungle while the younger bird moved cautiously closer to Emma. Celine allowed this knowing that they won't hurt her.
One small bird landed on Emma's thigh.

The dazed child, still curious, reaches out a hand and strokes a finger on the bird's tiny head down it's back. She had never touched a bird before since wild birds would scatter if you got too close to them. But this one didn't retreat from her hand.

Celine realized that Emma still needed water to drink and there were no flowing streams in the ruins. She'll have to find a way to fix that.
"Come, Emma," Celine said holding out her hand. "It's time to go back out into the jungle. We'll find a source of fresh water for you and me."

Hearing Celine call her, Emma stops right away and comes to the plan't side.
"Yes mom." She reaches out her hands and hugs from Celine's hips.

The alraune was surprised by the hug but accepted it and soon after pulls Emma close, wrapping the girl's arm around her own shoulders. Celine goes back into her flower with Emma, the petals closed around them, buries itself and travels underground.
There was a spot in the jungle where the sun was shining and a deep waterhole was that connected to the river that flowed through it. Celine's giant flower bloomed her and once the sun hit her she positioned herself to photosynthesis before remembering Emma. She gave the girl a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"Emma, you see that deeper part of that river?" Celine directed the girl's attention to the waterhole. "Go there for a drink while I photosynthesis." Celine wraps a vine around Emma's waist and lifts the girl out of the flower. "Be sure to dip the end of my vine into the water please."

“Yes mom,” Emma answered. Holding the vine, the girl walked slowly to the very spot Celine told her. When she reached the edge, she kneeled down and dipped the vine into the crystal clear water. She then cups some water in her hands and drinks. It was the freashest she ever tasted.
unknown to the plant is that while Emma was drinking, the gold hue in her eyes was starting to fade and the cloud in her brain was lifting.

The vine in the water drank up a lot of water which refreshed Celine while she also took in the bright sunshine. She was unaware that her power over Emma was slipping.

After she had her fill, Emma stands up but her foot slips on the ledge. She falls into the water. She was a decent swimmer so she wasn't at risk of drowning, but what did happen was the shock of the water sped up the process that flushed the nectar from her mind.

Celine hears the splash and see's Emma in the water. She uses the vine the girl brought to the river to catch Emma, pick her up effortlessly and bring her back to the alraune.
"Are you alright?" Celine asked.

Emma shakes her head to clear the dullness. When she looked she saw a thick green vine holding her up off the ground by her waist. To the side was a strange plant that looked like a woman. She was pretty but Emma didn’t recognize her. She squirms in panic trying to get out.
”Let me go,” she yelped.

Celine realized what must have happened.
"You don't remember me," Celine said. She places the girl down so she could stand but does not release her from the vine. "It's okay Emma. I'm Celine and we met last night."

“No I don’t know you. Let me go.” Emma pulls backwards still trying to get free but a child’s strength was no match to Celine’s. The sadness she felt before was in the back of mind, nearly forgotten as she thought she was in danger by a talking plant.

Celine was at a loss for a moment until she remembered her how she calmed Emma before, with her pheromone. She activated it and allowed the sweet scent to waft through the air.
"It's alright dear," Celine said trying to calm the girl. "Just take in a few breathes and try to relax."

Emma doesn’t follow what Celine instructed but her quick breaths still made her inhale the phenomenon. It took a minute or so for it to begin working as her mind was still in fear for her life. She slowly stops at her tugs and sits on the ground.
“I’m scared. I want my mom.”

Celine slips out of her flower and sits next to Emma.
"It's alright Emman," Celine strokes the girl's raven hair, trying to comfort her. "I'm here."
