Ciri
It’s a good thing for her that the Curse is an impatient therapist, that it loses interest before she can lead up to all that heartache, pain, and betrayal. It’s a relief to both of them that he changes the subject. An abrupt transition but she’s come to expect that from Gale, how the wheels of his head seem to turn quicker than most. Had she seen the future? She thinks for a moment, the stars around her brightening as the world darkens around them. “I’ve been to other worlds, perhaps some of them had been in the future? Time can be tricky when traveling through space so it’s hard to tell.” She finally says and it’s not a lie. There had been many worlds she had fallen through when she had initially been sucked up into the portal before she had landed in Eternal. Some didn’t follow the laws of time at all so it was a complex question to answer.
Her swirling silver gaze flick over the glowing marks on his iridescent skin before meeting his own electric stare. “Can you see the future Gale?” She’s curious, for he seems to be able to do many things. Multiple shifting states, talks to birds, could even see her memories of Amet and place his own in her mind’s eye. It wouldn’t surprise her if he could do this as well and she wonders how he had gained all these powers. He was powerful. There’s a flutter deep in her belly, that gut instinct that rings a little bell that maybe that’s not a good thing. But this is Gale. Inquisitive Lightning Boy who had never been anything other than kind despite his bluntness. So she laughs it off, physically and mentally, as she asks him with a grin, “Is there anything you can’t do?”
As the twilight gives way to a clear night, a smattering of moonlight glistening off the dark mirror of the lake below, she instinctively reaches for the stars above but does not pull them down. There’s no need to do so yet, she’s safe here with Gale, but she had learned long ago that it was a smart move to anchor herself to them. Just in case.
