โ โ โ โ. . My condolences. I had hoped to have arrived sooner.โ
โ
โ ใA bitter apology, shared for the sake of the possibility. . she could have helped sooner.
โ โ โณ Better timing, better placement, anything. . but nothing about excuses.
โ
โ
โ
โ
โ โ โ โThat's right.โ
โ ใThe answer came quickly with very little to consider obscuring.
โ โ โณ With how much time this war had allowed to pass, and the Ark's complete disregard for remembering her, there was no use. . no care in sheltering one's identity.
โ ใโใ
โ
โ
โ
โ ใInsisting on remaining quiet, casting long gazes at those who were robbed of their life. . now sitting still as the soft breeze provoked nothing from any of them.
โ โ โณ Snow White was no stranger to grieving for what had been lost.
โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ ใโใ
โ
โ
โ
โ ใA point proven by Snow White, by taking a step forward, bringing each arm up to pull the other by the neck so that for just a moment-
โ โ โณ The past can be relieved. . just this once.
โ โ โ โWelcome back.โ
โ

โ
โ ใThe description of a 'hangover' only made the fellow Nikke's glare harsher, unsure how some could find a way to describe their situation so. . loosely.
โ โ โณ And yet, the miracle of being presented with an old friend was looking her dead in the eye.
โ โ โ โ ใโใ
โ
โ
โ
โ โ โ โYou can't even remember *how* you ended up alive. That perfectly spells out how you shouldn't be here.โ
โ ใHer message came off cold, even with her eyebrows furrowed at the Pilgrim. . yet with everything that was gained, lost, she didn't wish to lose her again.
โ
โ
โ โ โ โAs for ๐ก๐๐ซ? You won't like the answer, but do know that she gets attached easily.โ
โ
โ โ โ โAs far as Heretics goes, Behemoth is an. . odd case.โ
โ
โ
โ
โ
โ โ โ โ. . I can't say. We're all lost to say at least.โ
โ ใLogic failed to bring an answer, creating a tense display from the pilgrim for but a moment. It eventually subsided for her next question, casting a raised eyebrow for the Heretic.
โ
โ
"But what does this mean? Why am I seeing myself bigger, more muscular..."
She began to get lost in thought to the point of falling silent for a brief moment before speaking again.
"And this Heretic? Why is she holding me? And why is she here?!"

โ
โ โ โ โ. . .โ
โ โ โณ Reflection. . to the defined sight that remained before Snow White.
โ ใLost for words, a rare bewildered sight fell upon what used to be her past, now becoming the present.
โ โ โ โWhere. . how did you find her, @BeheSIoth?โ
โ
โ
โ
โ
โ โ โณ Not yet, at least. Time has been quite a burden on her.
โ
โ โ โณ Until that uncertainty was addressed? She wasn't too willing to part ways, no matter what it cost.
โ
โ
โ
โ
โ โ โณ The effect wasn't immediate. Even Snow took time when it came to these things.
โ ใEnough time would eventually pass, leaving her to lean into her touch. In the form of pressing herself against the loving hand of this 'enemy', even to the kiss itself-
โ โ ใโใ
โ
โ
โ
โ โ โ โYou just did. Hypocrite.โ
โ ใIrritation lacked from her words, speaking mid break within their kiss before pushing herself to reattach within this intimate act, something so tender that she wasn't willing to let go of.
