Either the deities have been working overtime, or the sudden influx of new people is something many of us have seen before. That means visitors. Now, I just got off patrol and really don't want to have to work for another twelve hours, so play nice, huh?

[She folds her hands, saying nothing for a time. For a similar reason she allowed Kururugi to remain as her sister's knight. That situation...

It had not ended well for many reasons. And even now, knowing her sister is alive in the prison she had come from and in this city, she still can't think on it to any great extent without becoming overly emotional.

Is that why Euphie chose this person to befriend? Does he remind her of Kururugi? Her attachment to him had been so clear.]

If true, then it is an acceptable reason.

[He stares at her with careful, cool eyes.]

Acceptable or good?

[violetendency.livejournal.com]

Acceptable. [She smiles at him, but there is no warmth there.] You may overestimate the value I would place on your life.

[That just makes Ken smile, but it's more wry than amused.]

My life has little value.

[Hers is still lower no doubt, but here, have this bone.] Something we agree upon. [Okay, so it's not a good bone.]

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

[Ken doesn't even quirk an eyebrow.]

Well, a dead man has little value, correct?

[violetendency.livejournal.com]

Explain.

According to records in Japan, I'm dead. Died in a warehouse fire when my best friend framed me and left me to die in there.

[Fails to see how this could be of interest to her.] Being recorded as dead and actually being dead are two very different things.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

You think so?

[Smiles a little more now]

She's alive here, you know. Her heart beats while she's here.

[Her eyes widen and her jaw tightens. Emotions clearly flashing in her eyes even as her fist tightens, trying to hold back the tide from showing through.]

[He knows what happened to her. That is... It is not for others to know!]

I... Am aware. [And it fills her with a happiness and peace she can't and won't describe.]

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

[He's seen people like Cornelia enough to know when they're showing emotion. He also knows not to poke at them for it.]

You might think I'm pretty damn worthless but I've told you I'd do anything to protect her. As far as I'm concerned, her heart keeps beating for as long as I'm here to protect her.

[violetendency.livejournal.com]

See that it does. [And in her current state she would prefer to end this communication and spend what remaining time she can with her sister.]

One way or another I intend to return here now that I know my sister is here. [And somewhere in that was a threat, a promise, an acceptance of sorts, and a goodbye.]
