[The weather around camp has been growing increasingly odd, with the air feeling thicker and thicker by the day. The oddness by the barrier had begun to expand to camp at large - strange echos, odd bursts of light, and a general sense of dread permeating everything

[. . . Are there seriously three of you tonight? Weighing options of returning to the cabin. Weighing them HEAVILY.

SIGH.]

. . . I assume you were in Japan a moment ago.

[she turns her head so fast at the voice you would think her neck could have snapped. also this icon is not shocked enough]

. . .

[thekingsgambit]

[Oh, how he loves the GUESS THAT TIMELINE game. So much fun, oh yes.]

Surprised to see me?

[rebel_by_knight]

O-Oh my god... [that sounded pretty broken, her hands are shaking slightly, but she's not moving from her place]

[thekingsgambit]

[Freezes! The surety of a moment ago lost in the realization of where she comes from.]

[thekingsgambit]

[Somehow, he manages find enough of his voice to breathe out:]

... It has been a while, Kallen.

[rebel_by_knight]

[there's a choked sob, then she covers her mouth-no, her whole face with her hands and then the rest of her body starts shaking again. s-sorry.]

[thekingsgambit]

[Steps back, thoroughly wounded by her state, the one that he had willingly put her in when he chose his final course.]

... It is only the power of this place. Nothing has changed.

[rebel_by_knight]

[muffled and broken]

I-I know!

[thekingsgambit]

[Reclaims that step without intending to and reaches out to her before he can realize what he's doing. It has just been. So long.]

It is you... Kallen...

[rebel_by_knight]

[sensing that, and you know what? screw this, flinging herself at his arms]

-Y-You idiot-you-! [openly crying now, sorry if I get you wet everywhere]

[thekingsgambit]

[Catches her in a bit of a messy scramble and just barely manages to keep his voice from trembling.]

... ah, you - know... I was - worried about that.

[rebel_by_knight]

[very, very quietly]

You changed everything.

[thekingsgambit]

[Looking far into the distance, but sounding just a small bit... relieved.]

It worked then. I admit it was always a gamble, so much rested on what all of you would do. Our role was just to clear the board.

[rebel_by_knight]

[h-hiccup, still not brave enough to look at his face]

It was never a gamble, not with you-I always believed I always knew. But...

[thekingsgambit]

Kallen...
