A Minister's Bar

[Kauket]

A prolonged blink was held, reminiscing over what times she had remembered with Hunt. All those regrets, accomplishments and desires. All of it gone, faded away. Despite the luggage of such emotional attachments, there was a sense of inevitability to her, the sensation to thrive and survive. Moving on, is an eventuality to all those she came across. And it seemed to be a repeating theme that her closest would eventually drift away.

Despite Sanae's physical reassurance, she was distant for that moment, re-opening her eye to slowly gaze at her displayed care.

"... What has happened... has happened. There is nothing more I can do now, other than to pick up the remains and continue... Of course, I... still... pay my respects. "

Her palm under her care scrunched up, balling for a moment, then releasing out - letting go of the thought. Her palm flipped, holding Sanae's palm in return. She glared up into her eye, noting a subtle uncertainty within Sanae's face.

"You need not to worry. But... I appreciate the concern. It's always good to be mindful of those around you, but don't live in paranoia. Opportunity will not provide if it is not taken. "

She released her palm carefully, moving it to gently clasp her wine glass with both palms, creaking out a small smile. Afterall, she knew she could not do anything to bring back Hunt or the past. Time moves on.
