"Fun is not a concept engineered into the palace Lady Columbina"

He noted, his deep voice echoing faintly off the cold stone walls

"However, the side reception hall is quiet, warm, and far from the patrol routes. That should suffice for your... activities"

[ℭ𝔬𝔩𝔲𝔪𝔟𝔦𝔫𝔞 @Columbina_lenia]

She smiled following the big man singing a little to her closer poking his back

"where we going mr is there somewhere fun here or something?"

[𝓜𝓪𝓳𝓸𝓻 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔂 @ZapolyarnyBlade]

"Rocks, lanterns, and... pillows. A peculiar arsenal, Lady Columbina"

His voice sounding entirely surreal, still trying to find the purpose of such variety

"We shall take this 'session' off the parade grounds to avoid alarming the guards. Follow me Lady Columbina"

[ℭ𝔬𝔩𝔲𝔪𝔟𝔦𝔫𝔞 @Columbina_lenia]

She punsh his shoulder then hold his hand with some energy

"hehe mr~ so you're also want to play with me!! I bring a lot of games we can have so much... I bring my rocks my lantern and pillows!!"

Her head wings moving to much

— However, I shall not bar your way. You may enter, provided your 'play' does not compromise the security or the schedule of the Armory Palace. Of course, I will be accompanying you"

[𝓜𝓪𝓳𝓸𝓻 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔂 @ZapolyarnyBlade]

The contrast between her heavy aura and her playful request was not lost on Valeriy. He did not flinch, though his dark eyes narrowed slightly as he evaluated the sheer unpredictability of the former Harbinger

"This is a military stronghold, Lady Columbina, not a playground. —

— presence remaining like an anchor beside him

"Idle time is dangerous for a mind like yours. If the Korolevskiy brings unwelcome thoughts, we don't have to go there. Plus, standing here staring at shadows won't help you either. Walk with me, we will find somewhere quiet"

[𝓜𝓪𝓳𝓸𝓻 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔂 @ZapolyarnyBlade]

The joke didn't even make Valeriy blink. He was completely immune to Mitya’s attempts to push him away, treating the banter as simple noise while his duty remained constant

However, he didn't miss the sudden halt. He noticed the split-second rigidity in Mitya’s posture, the —

Mitya's mind had been even more full now that he was out of work than back when he was working. Frustration, confusion, exhaustion, all of that piling up with his overthinking habits was making him go insane. He could only think about how to stop Ronova, but at the same time

— silence, and the subtle shift in his breathing before the scientist forced out that chuckle

"My presence here is not a matter of affection, Mitya. It is my assignment, and my duty"

Valeriy replied, his voice maintaining its usual low, steady tone. He took a step closer, his —

The cold of Snezhnaya swept through the courtyards of the Armory Palace, yet Valeriy remained utterly still. Even with the shifting tides following the events in Nod-Krai, maintaining flawless order remained his sole, unyielding duty

Suddenly, —

[𝓜𝓪𝓳𝓸𝓻 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔂 @ZapolyarnyBlade]

@Columbina_lenia — a quiet presence drifted into view. His posture showed no hostility the moment he recognized the figure, as he stepped forward, offering a formal salute out of respect before meeting her gaze

"Lady Columbina"

Valeriy addressed her, his voice calm and deliberate amidst the —

[𝓜𝓪𝓳𝓸𝓻 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔂 @ZapolyarnyBlade]

The sudden stop of Project Mistilteinn had brought an unsettling quiet to the Armory Palace. Where high-stakes energy research and strict deadlines usually dictated every hour, there was now a strange, suspended atmosphere. Yet for Valeriy, a —

Valeriy said, breaking the silence with his usual calmness. His eyes held a steady presence as he adjusted his posture
