Inside Bronya's office was the silver haired maiden herself, tapping away at a screen in front of her.
Aside from her usual outfit being placed elsewhere and her clothes consisting of a somewhat more formal outfit.
' ' Ahh, there you are. I'm glad you came. ' '
๐ฒ "??????"
๐ฒ "On my way!"
Seele put her phone away quickly. The... text sounded kind of needy, though maybe it was Seele misreading it. Either way, she was quick to set off.. it wasn't a long distance to Qlipoth fort after all.
( text to @ilIusionsofpast )
๐ฒ Seele, this is Bronya
๐ฒ I need you
๐ฒ Please come to my room asap ๐
And just like that, Bronya's contact immediately goes offline afterwards
@SeeleOfWildfire ' ' Mmf . . . I'm just so happy, Seele . . . You've been my reason for fighting for ten long years . . . And to think we'd meet again as enemies . . .
I feel like I can't apologize enough . . . ' '
@SeeleOfWildfire ' ' Sorry . . . We're finally reunited, and the first thing I do is cry like a little baby . . . Gods, I really AM pathetic. ' '
Bronya parted from the hug, an earnest smile covering her cheeks
@SeeleOfWildfire ' ' You're the reason I got so strong, and I can't believe you were right under my nose . . . ! ' '
As if it couldn't get more emotional, Bronya audibly sobbed, crying loudly and clinging to Seele as if it were for dear life
@SeeleOfWildfire Bronya's hands fell to Seele's waist, holding her lightly as she spoke . . . And when she'd finished, a small sniffling sound could be heard before Seele was pulled into a tight hug, with the normally composed Bronya crying softly
' ' Iโ I missed you so much, you damn jerk ! ' '
@SeeleOfWildfire ' ' What's that supposed toโ Mm ! ? ' '
Going bright red in her cheeks and with her eyes turning into saucers, Bronya stared at Seele in shock as she was kissed, only clueing in AFTER Seele had said that
' ' Iโ It was . . . You . . . ? ! Oโ Oh my . . . God . . . ' '
@SeeleOfWildfire ' ' Hm . . . ?
Seele, you're staring at me like I'm one of Svarog's goons . . . ' '
Hopping off the railing and putting her flask away, Bronya would walk up to Seele and try to check her face to see if something was wrong
' ' You're bright red . . . Are you okay ? ' '
@SeeleOfWildfire ' ' Urgh . . . 'Hey, friend ! Not only did I forget all about you, but I still can't remember your name ! Sorry about that ! Now about that kiss'
That's mortifying to even think of saying. Pretty cringey ' '
Bronya pulls out a flask with water in it, taking a nice long drink
@SeeleOfWildfire Bronya, who still hasn't clued in, continued her story.
' ' She told me, ''There! Now that I've given you my first kiss, we have to meet again someday! So, stay strong until then, Bronya!''
How selfish of me to have forgotten her for ten years . . . *sigh* ' '
@SeeleOfWildfire ' ' No, I mean, when . . . Mother took me from the underground
I was scared, so I ran and hid . . . But she . . . She made me promise to be brave. And, to promise we'd meet again, she . . . She gave me a kiss and said that when we met again, I'd have to give her one back ' '
@SeeleOfWildfire ' ' Mmm . . . I did remember something. A girl with short, navy blue hair.
We'd play together on the slides and swings all day long. I kind of remember Natasha yelling at us for staying out too long
. . . But, the clearest memory was the day I left for the overworld. ' '
@SeeleOfWildfire Laughing softly to herself, Bronya would take a seat on a nearby railing. The drop on it wasn't all that far down, but just enough for a bit of living dangerously
' ' Every time I go to Rivet Town, I've been praying to myself that I'll get more of my memories back. ' '
@SeeleOfWildfire ' ' Hahaha . . . I'm just messing with you.
Think of that as payback for saying I don't have a sense of humor.
. . . Even though I wouldn't have necessarily minded if you were. ' '
@SeeleOfWildfire ' ' Oh ?
Quite the enticing offer you have there . . . And if I didn't know any better, I'd say I heard a flirtatious tone in there too, Miss Seele ? ' '
