強迫の愛

"Usually a type of a crystal —about this large." Lightning formed a box with her fingers, the enlargement at the size of a small-scale lamp. She had recalled seeing such encasement in New Bodhum —a mirror that’s not in this realm, and yet, upon contact did the artefact appeared in the palm of her hand. "The artefact doesn’t take form until we identify the object —for example, a mirror that doesn’t belong in this realm— and then making contact with it afterwards. If the time gate isn’t buried in debris or covered by something, it should appear after we find the artefact."

       What an interesting description. Homura had never heard of such a set of items before, but she was intrigued, and willing to help. Lips parted and words started to form, but the young woman stopped at the same time Lightning's eyes focused on something other than herself.

Well, that went better than expected; she had thought that the latter would think she’s insane, especially for someone of her maturity and disposition. No matter now, it was better to tell it to her than never.

"It's not a problem." A key to a time gate. The last thing Homura expected was to be involving herself in time related situations again, but she didn't have to fret. She was merely helping this woman, that was all. Find the artefact, then the gate. 

"Mitakihara." She repeated the name to herself. A city name unlike any that I’ve heard. Etro had picked a rather odd country this time. Despite it all, she should be thankful for gaining the company of another —hopefully this will aid Lightning in finding a time gate and artefact.

A form of make-believe. Perhaps to others, but Homura had heard of stranger things in her life time. She had no reason not to believe the rosette, so she nodded. A look of thought gradually spread over her expression, eyes lowering.

Azure eyes fix themselves to the raven haired woman, acknowledging her presence and greetings. Parting her lips, the soldier then responded, “Likewise. As for the question of inquiry, it appears I am lost. Do you know the name of this city?”
