He remembers. Of course he remembers. It should hurt, this scene, taking them back to how thing had been before. Before Villentretenmerth spoke to them, before she pushed him away, before he pushed everyone else away in turn. It should, and maybe some part of it does, but the warmth is there, too, in the memory that lines every edge. His medallion dangles, her small charm clinking against his heavier silver pendant.

He wonders if she realizes it doesn't matter where they are, how their paths come together or diverge or if years and years may pass between them. She will always be important to him. The one thing that will never change.
