⋆୨𖤓୧⋆ He doesn't need to be told she's here to know. He doesn't need to see her to either. Even if the woman of the spirit's flow has made her way into the sight of the wind just yet, he knows she's here because White Cloud seems lighter. White Cloud was brighter in recent days and he doesn't know if that meant that his counter could metaphorically dump his troubles into the woman's lap but it was no doubt that something of the like happened with the way the younger was acting.
She's been here for a few days and he's made no attempt to find her. She would meet him as needed and it seemed that Bahamut be blessed, now was that time. They haven't locked eyes since he brandished vörös at her and demanded she stay behind the last time he went to fight Chaos with the cloud at his side. That had been too messy and the seals weren't holding.
White Cloud could not and would not take another seal.
He wouldn't allow it. If his Other took another seal who knows if his soul would survive the damage. He would not put it past the beast to smash out what remained of the shattering mirror of white during the struggle. White Cloud can not and would not take another seal and he'll fight the swordsman to the grave about it.
It's not doing any of them any good if he was dead. There was nothing noble about throwing himself on the fire in order to protect those around him and he was hoping that maybe Lisa being here could grind that into that cloudy head of his.
He's found her standing in a room with a few of the others. Knave ... and the woman with purple hair who only give him a half frown and excuse themselves from the area as if they know he and Lisa need to have a conversation far more than anything they could have been already speaking of and cold blue take their time to take in the sight of her.
Her soul feels different. As it had after she rendered it to energy in order to save the submarine all this time ago. She feels like White Cloud but at the same time not and he can't quite put his finger on it but something tells him it will come to their advantage in the future. Even more so when he can hear Bahamut laughing in the back of his head. The old man is being as cryptic as usual.
"Why have you come back?"
