Ik . . . something.

[soundsinsilence]

Ikki?

What about him? Ahh, you always make the same face, too . . .

[followthewind]

It ain't the same . . . Is that who you're bein' nostalgic over.

[soundsinsilence]

. . . isn't it Raven who's being nostalgic?

[followthewind]

You mentioned it first.

[soundsinsilence]

Before . . . ?

That wasn't Ikki at all.

[followthewind]

. . . I'm confused now.

[soundsinsilence]

Ikki was never part of Hydra. And he was . . . I mean, we were . . .

I couldn't mistake you for him. No matter how close you might seem, or how close to you he was supposed to be . . . I knew him too well.

The person I'm nostalgic over is you.

[followthewind]

. . .





Oh.

[soundsinsilence]

Though I guess that's even more strange . . .

[followthewind]

. . . not really . . .

[soundsinsilence]

It is a little, though.

[Shifts to let her legs dangle, swinging them back and forth.]

But . . . it's okay, too, I think. Like this.

[followthewind]

. . . [shrugs]

It's fine like this.

[soundsinsilence]

Mm!

Have you seen what's on the other side of the lake yet?

[followthewind]

[opens his mouth to say "Of course I have, I've seen a ton of this place" but . . . pauses and shakes his head instead]

Nah, I haven't. Have you?

[soundsinsilence]

[Shakes her head.]

Not at all. The farthest I've been is . . . see that little dip, by the river?

Just to there, when I was running pipes out to the water.

[followthewind]

Hoooh . . .

Do you wanna see it?

[soundsinsilence]

I think . . . I'd like to.

I've even been practicing, so hopefully going outside . . . I wouldn't be as much of a burden as I have been.

[followthewind]

. . . you ain't a burden.

[soundsinsilence]

But I'm . . . really not that good, when things are trying to eat me. And I get distracted easily . . . ahh . . .

There are definitely better people to have, when you're out exploring.

[followthewind]

. . .

I've escorted much worse'n that.

[soundsinsilence]

Escorting, though . . . that's a job, isn't it? Not something for a partner.

[followthewind]

Well yeah, but I'm just sayin'.

[soundsinsilence]

I know. It's just . . .

I've had too many people get hurt while I've been fine. While they're keeping me safe. I really . . .

I don't want that any more.

[followthewind]

. . .

But what if they wanna keep you safe an' don't care if they get hurt.
