((Merry belated Christmas! ^^))
Schezar's thoughts, all those memories that still managed to haunt him like nightmares, remained luckily unknown to the girl. It was safe to assume that she wasn't gifted with the Echo. If she actually possessed it, she certainly hadn't developed such a gift at all.
As he spoke, a darker colour had started reigning in the sky. Clover only noticed that night had slowly fallen upon them after a shiver ran through her body. It was becoming colder, she'd have to return soon; not to Gridania, for the path back would be especially dangerous at night, but to the small settlement at south.
"I'm not gifted with the Echo, but I can't simply ignore what's happening to the world. That you taught me more than what you initially wanted was only inevitable."
Her eyes raised to the now black sky, where another snowflake greeted her with its uneven dance.
(Peace is not a real choice in times of war...) She said with the soundless voice he could still hear, before her head moved in his direction once more. She observed him for a few seconds, his warm, peaceful figure as he held the puppy in his arms. It was amazing. Tragically so.
Her eyes had become a bit more crystalline when she spoke again.
"The next time we meet..." She raised her voice, trembling slightly on this occasion. The cold air was unforgiving. "Please teach me how to shield my thoughts."
(I don't want to hurt you with them.)
Somehow, it was a promise Clover wanted him to make. That he'd stay alive.
