“𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝚠𝚎 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚐𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍, you said you didn’t think we’d ever be able to trust each other again.” the remark is made casually, not aggressive like there might have been in the first year that they had settled into the ring. she’d avoided him then, for the most part. monty and harper were a little more welcoming, raven and her shared a certain... loneliness that had been somewhat alleviated with one another. time healed all wounds and apparently antagonism was one of them. echo had never hated bellamy. she’d respected from the first time that they had met in mt. weather. but she knew that the respect hadn’t always been mutual.
fortunately, things did change. they can banter – and they can fight, train with one another. echo still liked to win as much now as she had the first time she had started doing this with the rest of them. no weapons, just hand to hand. her long legs were bent in a defensive crouch. “of course, back then you’d never be able to best me in a fight. i’m not sure that has changed.”
