“No, I don’t think that was an option. You’ve always stuck by me, been a friend to me, and you forgave me after all my mistakes. You had no reason to, but you let me back in after everything I did. And now things are better than ever. Because you gave me that chance.” She looked at Blake with an earnest smile. Ilia truly didn’t know what she’d do without Blake, what she would have done if things had gone differently back on Menagerie. She preferred not to think about it, nothing good would come of dwelling on that now.
“Because of you, I’m here drinking with the most amazing person on Remnant after a long stretch of recruiting for a new and improved organization for Faunus rights, and we’re going to go to a beautiful cove and enjoy a night at the beach alone. You could not describe to me a more perfect evening, and it wouldn’t be possible without you.”
“Alright, that’s enough. You’re gonna make me blush.” Blake waved her hand, signaling the bartender for the check. “You are every bit as pivotal in all of this as I am. That’s part of the beauty of this. Neither one of us is more important than the other when it comes to our loyalties to one another.” She explained to the other woman, reaching out and covering a hand with her own atop the bar. “You should thank yourself for some of it. You had the courage and heart to change your ways when you really didn’t have to. That resolve is what got you here, today.”
Moving to pay the tab, Blake slid off her seat and reached out a hand to the other, a fond smile tipping the corners of her lips, “Come on, let’s get out of here. There’s a beach with warm sand and salty water calling our names.”
“Oooh yes, let’s go!” Ilia said happily, blushing a bit herself at Blake’s compliments. Following Blake out, Ilia decided to press her luck and wrap her arms around one of Blake’s as they walked.
“So tell me about this beach. Hard to think of you spending your precious free time to find a place as good as you’ve described.” A bit of teasing, emboldened by the alcohol.
