Don’t fret over it. I had longed to learn to communicate with humans, and am thankful there’s some way for me to now.

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

As do I, dear friend. It has been quite lovely to be able to speak with you in clear words. I am sorry I struggle to learn your language...

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

Of course.

I hope to enjoy what’s left of this version of you’s presence while you’re here..

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

It is heartening to hear you say that, dear friend. Thank you.

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

( *she nods* )

You will do some amazing things … From tragedy life is born anew.

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

Even in these circumstances, I am always willing to assist others.

Even if it is not the path I had envisioned...

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

( *She offers him a solemn smile* )

There is nothing to correct.. The you from this time has already atoned for what he caused. It took a long time, but he has done wonderful things for this world.

You will too.

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

( *She shakes her head, and wipes away a few tears.* )

I doubt there is anything that can change the course that was set for us in life.

The war that will inevitably come for you was not kind to anyone …

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

[He pulls back so he can look at his friend.]

I don't know how to make this right... I don't know how to stop these events from coming to pass. For that, I truly am sorry.

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

( *She returns the hug, clinging to her friend. She desperately wished he could stay like this, and never have to face the oncoming war … and yet it would be inevitable when he returns back to his time.* )

I would not be here if you hadn’t already made up for what happened ..

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

( *She froze. This was far different from everything that had happened before … This AZ truly didn’t understand the impact of her death and the effect it had to the world as a whole.

He had nothing to atone for, and yet …* )

Y.. you don’t need to …

+

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

My dear friend, I am so sorry. I am sure you did not ask for any of this, and yet, you are forced to sufferer the consequences.

Even if I have not yet done these things, I still believe I should apologise.

I am a horribly selfish man, aren't I?

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

( *Tears welled up. She couldn’t fight them back this time.* )

There’s no need to apologize for something you have not done yet … I .. I have made peace with you and your choices over the course of my long life..

+

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

( *she couldn’t look at AZ. not this version of him. he hadn’t even done any of this yet.. it wasn’t fair to shove these burdens of the inevitable onto him.* )

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

…..

( *deep inhale* )

I wish I could have shielded you from the truth longer …

The device you made was not originally a weapon. It was made to return life.. to myself.

Using it as a weapon granted you near eternal life as well.

+

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

[He sighs.]

Yes, of course... I am sorry...

Then another line of questions I had... How is it that you and I lived? Surely the truth of that cannot be as horrible as what I have already learned. It sounds as though it's a good thing. To live a long life with you.

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

( *she hakes her head* )

It’s been so long I can’t even remember how it started or who we were fighting..

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

A war... It drove me to such drastic measures?

[He looks defeated.]

I have been trying to keep peace with all of our neighboring kingdoms. Who could have possibly wanted a war with us?

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

( *she smiles solemnly.* )

We were at war..

Stricken with grief fueled anger… you found a way to end it in its entirety.

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

[AZ frowns.]

I am truly sorry, my friend... To think I caused you so much grief.

You efforts are appreciated.

I suppose my first question is why? Why would I even consider... I can't fathom it.

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

… I …

I will do my best, but it …

It is a rather sensitive topic. Forgive me if I am a bit …. off.

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

[He looks back toward Ancolie.]

Dear friend, do not fret. There is nothing to forgive. I am not upset, however... since I am now made aware of my future, I hoped you'd allow me to ask for further details.

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

………….

( *she tenses.* )

A — a voice led you there … and …

Forgive me… I wanted to shield you from your eventuality as long as I could …

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

I saw... the plans. Plans for a weapon of great power... A weapon made by me.

I now understand why you did not wish to tell me of such things...

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

( *Her expression falls for a moment.* )

AZ…

Where did you run off to?

( *There’s a stern tone in her voice, but not one of malice. It was worry.* )

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

I trusted that you knew best, so I didn't pry. I still trust that, but... I didn't have a choice in the matter.

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

O-of course …

( *she swiftly makes her way over, sitting in a chair opposite to AZ* )

Are you alright? What’s happened?

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

I... Yes, I suppose you could say that. I have some questions that I believe you can answer for me.

[AZ steps over to the chairs in the lobby, and takes a seat in the nearest one.]

May we sit for a moment? I don't know how long this conversation will last.

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

Hm—??

Is something wrong? Did something happen?

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

[AZ turns the corner, a worried look in his eye as he spots Ancolie.]

Dear friend... May I have a word?

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

( *she’s at the front desk, yawning* )

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

Where on earth did AZ disappear to ??

[ꜰʟᴏᴇᴛᴛᴇ @aeonianblossom]

( *she nods* )

Of course.

I don’t mind at all.

[𝔸ℤ @GardienDeFleurs]

[AZ's fingers trace the edge of Ancolie's bed before he turns back toward her.]

It is... But I am glad that you're here.

Will you please stay with me? I know it's selfish to ask, but you're the only thing that's familiar, regardless of circumstances...
