She smiled slightly when she felt a familiar energy coming towards her. 

[i]I honestly didn't expect anyone else to come here.[/i] 

She sighed and turned her head to smile at Matt, the phoenix boy. [b]"Hello there."[/b] She replied, unsure as to whether or not he remembered her or if he just genuinely didn't realize it was her. [b]"How are you, Matt?"[/b] She asked, smiling at him warmly. 

[i]An old friend. Maybe this is what I need, then again, maybe not.[/i]

She pushed her legs back down to the ground and the glow on her fingers faded as she turned to face him more head on. [b]"It's been awhile, eh?"[/b] She continued, chuckling slightly. She had to admit, seeing him here did surprise her but at the same time, she wouldn't put it past any of them. She almost welcomed it. Some semblance of normalcy would be great... So many memories and all of the friends involved gone. 

Somehow, her hand found it's way to her ring finger, where sat the engagement ring Xanthus has left her. She always did this when she was nervous or her emotions got the best of her. For some reason, knowing it was there calmed her down. Knowing that everything wasn't just some bad dream. That everything had happened and that she was alive. It also was a reminder for her, a remind to never fall in love again. It only ever hurt.
