(from crossed-worlds)
It has been a very long time since their last meeting. Partly due to the fact her warp ring had been destroyed by a certain lynx clan, partly due to how winter blocked up the entrance to the Veiled Valley, and partly due to how she now had a way to not be there anymore so the Shinobi Clan members that had been stationed to keep an eye on her lost track of her for a while.
She was finally back in the valley for a while, after...so much outside of it. The area outside the valley that hid the entrance still held evidence of a battle having taken place there, not with robots...but rather a certian clan of lynx. The space was now overgrown with plant life. It was late summer now, and she wore an odd metal mask until she entered the valley properly. Removing it and tucking it under her arm as she headed back to her tree house.
However... a certian scent made her stop in her tracks, and she sniffed the air a few times to be sure. ".....Espio?"
Espio hadn't been to the agency in a while. He'd been outside on his lonesome for what seemed like hours. Although, he could have passed the time by talking with his adopted son or Vector or his student, he chose not to. Some days were better off left alone. As to why he chose this location? That was a mystery in itself. And it was more peaceful that way. He didn't expect to see someone familiar. He usually wouldn't but it wouldn't be much help if he remained hidden since someone knew he was there. So, he reveals himself. "Yes?"
