admittedly, after monday, she can't help but wonder who is under black shadows's hood.]
I wanted to see how you were doing... um, you are aware of ... the things we are experiencing this week, yes? Have you been afflicted by the same thing?
[and then they pull it back to reveal a face familiar to her, head slightly bowed. the chains around his wrists clink as his hands drop away from the hood of his cloak.]
Miss Flayn. I'm sorry I... couldn't tell you before, but... it's good to be able to speak with you properly again.
[all things told, she doesn't look very surprised. she's wondered, ever since learning that veronica was from a place like theirs, if this might be the case.
he'll have all of .02 seconds before she reaches over to take both his hands.]
I understand. You three have your own rules to play by as well, do you not?

And you certainly would not wish for anyone else to be hurt because you broke them. But... all the same, I am glad that you were able to find a way to tell me now.
We could do that again, if you ever wanted to...? Not- in the same way, I still have Anaido, but... we could just have a little time to not worry about everything else. I wouldn't mind spending it with you.

[but, well. they seem to be kind of preoccupied.]
Have been all right, but...
Have also not been entirely honest with you.
no subject
[ah.]
Black Shadows is not your true name, is it...
[it sounds more like a statement of fact than a question, even though it's worded like it's something she's supposed to be asking.]

[we're doing this before memshares so i can actually have you pick what kind you want britt,
but also, they just... don't want to draw it out any longer. they reach for the edges of their hood.]

...I missed you, Wen Ning.

I wanted to tell you sooner, but I... had to be careful.

[but she's made her feelings clear on that, even if she didn't know it was him.]
But I am, too. It's... hard, sometimes. Being someone else.
no subject
[she's made her feelings on that VERY clear.]

[...

O-oh no... When I used my power...

before she brings up using her power, anyway, and then he just looks embarrassed, glancing aside.]
It... it's all right, miss Flayn. You didn't know. And it- was nice, I thought. Even if it wasn't...
[even if it wasn't real, he still sort of liked it. he's fond of her. he liked hugging her and making flower garlands with her.]
no subject

it was nice to have something, at least, to brighten up an otherwise awful week.]
I enjoyed being able to spend that time with you.

...we could make flower garlands for them, perhaps?
