"I've not seen that expression before." Ai points out as she takes a seat next to her companion, a pair of drinks in hand (on the house thanks to the generous Carlotta) Moments before Ai had been laughing and joking around with Brant and his little sister. While she was good with meeting new people and making friends, it was clear she hit it off with the merry band of fools.
"I thought you'd at least be a bit happy after we managed to stop the Order's plan to ruin the Carnevale....." She trails off as she hands him his drink. "You wanna talk about it?"
There were so many things on his mind, one: concerning the identity of (man’s name here), then there’s Phrolova’s involvement which meant the Fractsidus had a hand in the catastrophe and then two: That girl he saw in his vision..the blonde. They were in a state where only two (or three) of them existed in that point in time. Then Ai’s voice knocks him out of his thoughts and into reality, his hand stretches outward taking hold of the drink she offered.
“Thanks..just a lot on my mind but don’t get me wrong I’m happy we were able to help.” Rather than dwell on something that wasn’t important for the moment, he’d decide to change the subject. “You know..we might not know where we came from..or why we decided to strip ourselves of our memories, but there’s one thing for sure: You found a home with the Troupe of Fools.” Ai was nowhere near a ‘stoic’ woman but the smiles she’s worn on her face these days after coming here..well, they were nice.
Granted he couldn’t share this feeling in his heart..a wound..some pain, but he couldn’t fathom the reason. “Why not join them, the two of you (Brant) seem to hit it off. I’m sure him and the crew would welcome you in open arms.”
