He's not wrong--joining the Scions had always been what she believed to be what set the wheels in motion. And despite being hailed as the Warrior of Light, she saw them all as equal colleagues with different parts to play. Her job was just to hit things when it was too dangerous for someone without her particular protections to.

Yet over the past year she has begun to wonder about the differences between them. Not in any sense of raising her own importance, but if she were someone outside of the Warrior of Light, if she wasn't a scion? And in that process she'd been supplied a new identify--several, in fact.

The Warrior of Darkness.

Part of Ardbert's soul.

The former Fourteenth Seat.

Maybe this was why people did believe in fate--it made it a hell of a lot easier to explain these things. But...by no direct action on her part had she acquired these new pieces of herself. At least not intentionally. Maybe it did just come with the territory.

Slowly, Himeka nods. It's only natural.

Then why does it bother her so?

"I'd heard you were quite the troublemakers--you and Aymeric."

It's easier to prod at her friend about this anyway.
