“Hey, Elita!! It’s Beta! Long time no see!” She grins at her friend.
Audials flick at the familiar voice, one which despite having not heard in millions of years still registered immediately all the same. Cool cerulean hues glances upwards then widen a moment, staring over at the femme as though she were an apparition. She may as well have been, Elita had been there and watched when her spark went out. Lip plates pressed together in a thin line and internally shoved the less than pleasant memory from her thoughts.
❝ Beta, ❞ Elita replied, with a gentility and wistfulness that could only be described as disbelieving; bittersweet. ❝ It is good to see you, old friend... ❞ her voice trailed off, gaze softening by the second. The multiverse could be equally kind and cruel sometimes, this being one of them.
❝ You look well, ❞ the Councillor vented, smiling in spite of herself, ❝ I can only hope time has treated you kindly... ❞ Again, the last image she had of Beta --- while seared into her processors --- also shoved aside, preferring to see bright green plates and wide grin, just as she remembered her to have.
