( closed: asch )
Life in Hive City hadn't been easy to adjust to. Having her friends did help her feel at ease, but it did not feel the same when so many of them were missing. It was good not all of them are here, but at the same time she did feel just that little bit lonely. Not that she would admit that easily.
Blinking twice, her eyes were drawn to a familiar shade of red. Could it be...? It couldn't, maybe. She didn't know and she felt nervous to find out, yet she knew she had to. The princess took a few steps towards him and bit down on her bottom lip.
Hand stretched out, Natalia's fingers were spread before she found herself frozen. Within seconds her hand closed tightly and she pulled it towards her chest, her free hand covering it. What is this is a dream, or some sort of trick? For all she knew it could be just that and when she actually touched him, he would disappear. If something like that were to happen...
Natalia felt a lump in her throat. Part of her had accepted the fate that had fallen on the two men she felt close to her, yet another part always hoped that they were alive. They were so dear to her, both of them, so it felt like torture not knowing for sure. Finally she spoke, voice cracking and a little shaky.
"Asch... Please tell me that this is you."
