![]() Soon, the column of vehicles started to move, surrounded by a moving shield of mounted Awakened. Sunny sighed, then sat near Cassie and grew quiet. 'What kind of stupid ambush is this, when everyone knows that it's happening? Damn, I'm sure that even the ambushers know that we know. "Morgan invited her for a last-minute discussion." The blind girl pointed forward, where another vehicle - this one larger and better armored - was visible through the windshield of the APC. Sunny greeted them with a few smiles and a few elusive answers, then walked over to where Cassie was sitting and looked around. ![]() "Better be a block of wood than a blockhead like you…" What kind of transformation are you going to get? Turn into a block of wood?" The ostentatious tortoise Echo had been dismissed, and they were going to be traveling by using more mundane means of transportation. He grimaced, then went to join his own convoy. We'll cross paths again, soon, before it's all over.' I have no idea how the situation will unfold, for the both of us… one thing is certain, though. ![]() 'There are too many unknown variables at play. It was not like she could help the gloomy guy in his mission. He had already warned her to stay clear of Mordret… as for informing Jet of the presence of his shadow, that would do neither of them any good. Sunny watched Soul Reaper go, considering if he should have told her more. With that, she turned around and walked away, heading for the departing force of Song's Awakened. Soul Reaper studied his face for a while, then nodded. He remained silent for a few moments, then shrugged. Sunny slowly nodded, prompting her to ask: ![]() "You know that things are about to change in East Antarctica, right?" The smile slowly disappeared from her face, and she looked at him with a somber expression. You are maybe a bit too young to understand the sentiment, but… I fought long and hard to become the current me. However, I like the current you much more." "I do know, and yes, that would be a sight. …No matter how hard Sunny tried, he just couldn't imagine Jet wearing a dress. Sunny looked at her gloomily, trying to imagine Soul Reaper in the traditional wine-red attire of the Song clan. Who knows, in another life, I might have been a princess of a great clan, as well… wouldn't that be a sight?" "All of Ki Song's daughters are adopted, you know? Many of them were taken from the outskirts when they were very young. Jet looked away and let out a wistful sigh. A thing like that influences you in many subtle ways." I have no solid proof, of course, but there are ways to tell. It's just a vague feeling, but I think that their Flaws are similar to mine… not exactly the same, but similar. "A thief knows a thief, as a wolf knows a wolf. Weirdly, I feel a bit of kinship with these women." I am often reminded of why was it exactly that I never wanted to be a part of a Legacy clan… but it's fine. "How is living with the Song clan treating you?" The long column of vehicles had come to a stop, and they found each other among the busy chaos of imminent separation. Now, it was ready to break apart… before it did, however, Sunny managed to find an opportunity to talk with Soul Reaper in private. The joint army had already withdrawn from the battlefield and traveled some distance away from it. Effie and Kai were returning to the government-controlled section of East Antarctica with Wake of Ruin and Saint Tyris, while Jet was leaving with the forces of Song. Soon enough, it was time to say goodbye again.
