[WHEREVER YOU ARE]

I don't suppose there's anyone who can take me for a sparring partner?

[wingedjustice]

Drift.

[onlyhonournow]

[...shrugging his sword attachments off and adopting a defensive stance]

If you'll have me.

[wingedjustice]

[eyes him warily before attacking]

[onlyhonournow]

[he's gotten a whole lot better--enough to dodge Wing's initial attack swiftly and make a decent grab at him without much effort]

Are you beating up on unsuspecting victims again?

[wingedjustice]

Not yet.

[twisting that grip to throw you aside] NowI am.

[onlyhonournow]

[chuckling and running at him again, and throwing a punch at his stomach]

I don't know about unsuspecting. I'm pretty suspect.

[wingedjustice]

Since when?

[onlyhonournow]

Since I started hanging around rule-breakers like you.

[wingedjustice]

[laughs]

[onlyhonournow]

... The war's over.

[wingedjustice]

[wait what]

That's not funny, Drift.

[onlyhonournow]

[stopping and dropping his gaze]

... Wing, would I ever lie to you? About something like that?

[wingedjustice]

... No. It's just... how?

[onlyhonournow]

... With more sacrifice than ever will be necessary.

[wingedjustice]

[snorts]

Go on.

[onlyhonournow]

... I thought that after that, I'd be ready to go back to Crystal City, to tell them the good news and thank them for what they've done for me. Thank you.

I had so much I wanted to say.

[wingedjustice]

...

But you didn't come back.

[onlyhonournow]

... No. Not yet. Because I'm still lost, and I'm not sure the war is over. Not with me.

[wingedjustice]

Drift, war doesn't define you.

[onlyhonournow]

[looking up, smiling briefly]

I... know. I'm not going to let it.

[wingedjustice]

Good. I was worried.

[onlyhonournow]

... I had a speech planned, you know that? Good enough to make even Dai Atlas applaud.

[wingedjustice]

Really? I would like to hear that.

[onlyhonournow]

[laugh.]

... I don't remember it.




All I remember is that I miss you.

[wingedjustice]

For my part... I am sorry I did that to you.
