she was uncertain of who she should have been expecting. she hardly had any guests over let alone unexpected visitors. however neuvillette was the last one to come to mind. there was obvious surprise on her face when she opened the door, especially with him holding a box that she was quick to tell were things she had left behind. it wasn't hard to tell, she left all of the extravagant & expensive things behind, things she didn't believe were actually hers & she wished not to take with her. expensive silks, jewels, diamonds, gems, silvers & golds. furina left all of that behind & here was neuvillette with no doubt good intentions wanting to give them to her. always so earnest wasn't he? her surprise was replaced by a smile.

' it's nice to see you. ' she greeted him & then looked at the box he had in his possession. ' yes, well, i didn't intend to take those things with me. i believed them best to be left in the palais. ' furina wasn't fond of the idea of burdening him with her woes so her intention was not to go into detail about how they aren't actually her items & that she was not worthy of such luxuries. ' if you're repurposing the chamber i used to reside in & they're getting in the way may i suggest giving them away? donating them perhaps. ' she assumed that's what was going on. she wasn't about to ask for details, internal affairs were none of her concern, not anymore. ' they'll find themselves in better hands that way than with me haha. ' or so she thought. that & she really didn't want such luxuries, they were never hers to begin with.

it was quite the thought to her that neuvillette would go out of his way to personally come with these things when he could have just as easily had the guards who she had caught sight of often patrolling the avenue she lived in bring them to her instead. his words afterwards just about give him away & her smile only grew more tender, but she wasn't going to be rude & call him out on why he was here personally instead of any other latter options that were clearly at his disposal. ' i have been okay. thank you, neuvillette. ' all things considered that was. there was still so much for her to navigate. ' i also hope you've been well & taking time for yourself as well. ' she lightly reminded him. it brought her great joy & ease when she caught winds that he was. proud of him even. like he was hatching out of his egg at last.

' i don't even know who that is. ' she hardly had any friends.

' haha, heavens no. why would i ever want to subject myself to such a fate after receiving that which i longed for the most? ' she had to laugh, she found humor where perhaps there was none. however she was all divinity ... or what was left of that divinity. her lack of foresight in that regard. the actions taken by the divine made only sense to the one themselves & nobody else. ' i must say though i'm quite impressed with you, neuvillette. ' she smiled at him from within the mirror he saw her in. ' the fact that you still sense some part of me in her ... you show promise as the up & rising sovereign of water. ' she tilted her head to one side. ' however must you beckon me forth in your private quarters in such a fashion? my, my, how inappropriate of you. ' she teased him, chuckling as she moved from this specific mirror she was in into another within his chambers.

' though my ideals have no stains that hardly meant the plan i conjured those many a years ago was perfect. ' she spoke to him though in the back of her head she wondered where furina was. her divinity was not sensing her within the palais mermonia. ' however good enough it was to have my ultimate goal met. the fact that i'm speaking to you at all at this very moment is a testament to the fact that my plan was not the most perfect. ' she expected this part of her to be completely gone ... & though most of her most certainly was, specks of dust of her remained enough to where she could manifest in this manner. ' if you yourself was so certain of me still being out there, then surely that must mean furina senses me as well ... that's actually quite unfortunate. ' she would much prefer that furina lived on her life without the past looming over her like a shadow, which seemed to be the case. aside from the plan, the reason she took her memories away were a display of mercy as well to herself, selfishly so.

' just like i lacked foresight on me still being around in some sense. ' she shrugged her shoulders at him. ' the fact that she's suffering as she is right now was also due to my lack of foresight. i underestimated & overestimated furina's strength of will. however i believe the suffering of one is a small price to pay compared to the suffering of many. ' she reasoned. ' would you not agree with that ... leviathan? you did forgive them after all, so you must agree to some degree. ' he ended up doing what was planned, unknown to him yes, but it happened ... thankfully. after so much trial & error. ' so tell me, if all of that makes so much sense, why the long face? ' she placed her hands 'pon her hips, studying him carefully. ' you & everybody else in that trial were so determined, so desperate to get her to bend to your will when she has bended to the masses many a years ago. why is there, dare i say, sorrow in your voice now? ' it was fascinating to the divinity, this shift in the masses, in him even more so. ' does it hurt to see her in such a state, leviathan? ' she should not laugh, that would be most inappropriate ... but she felt the tickle to do so within her throat.
