Sweetheart, if the soldiers hadn't literally dragged me away from the portal to keep from crossing back, I would have used that portal as many times as necessary to end up right where you are.
[ There's another beat as she stumbles down the hill before coming to a complete stop as she stares at Sylain's words that glitter in the snow and dirt in front of her. ]
I wasn't blaming you for anything, sweet. I know, if we'd had a choice in it, there's nothing that could have separated us.
And yes, we still have the Horizon. Anytime you need us, sweet, we're only a message away. I can't speak for Claude but I'm certain his opinion is the same. We'd drop everything to meet you there.
[ There's a long pause before another message finally follows. Probably right about the time steam starts coming out of her ears. ]
I'm not ignoring it. And I appreciate it, Hilda. You know I do. It still feels weird sometimes, though. Like I don't know what to do with it, even if it's right here staring me in the face.
[ The first response is met with a muffled, but no less shrill sound of annoyance as she finally makes her way to civilization and resolves not to speak to him until he gives her a serious, less infuriating answer.
And somehow that's also more than enough time for her to shed her muddy clothing and slip into a warm tub. ]
