The Time We Have....

Abigail

Abigail blinked, a little surprised that strangers were on the case or more anyone other than the local police department since people go missing everyday in other places but not only that but to think her father would allow it. It is true that his hands could have been tied but it sure as hell wouldn't have made him happy and it seemed weird that he hadn't spoken of the fact. The Chief was very protective of his small town and this was the biggest cases they had seen in a long time. Could he have asked for help? It didn't seem like he had gotten to that point yet but maybe. This just made her want to talk with Nova all the more or even warn the girl about these strangers. Just because someone spoke with authority didn't mean that is actually what they were and she didn't know if Sarah had just run off or not.

She looked at them suspiciously but nodded softly, "Who wouldn't know about that? That is all that is being talked about. I was even asking people their thoughts on the matter earlier today. You may ask all the questions you like but I may choose not to answer since I don't know either of you and you could be lying for all I know. It isn't really smart to be talking with too many strangers since it is unknown if this was a kidnapping yet or not, though it isn't looking good."

Nova

Nova froze for a second, not because of Quill's power necessarily but the feeling of his power against her senses. It was like that eerie feeling when you try to forget something horrible but the memory slightly creeps in or that haunting second where a nightmare feels all too real until you realize that you are safe and nothing will happen. As quick as she felt this terrifying panicked feeling, it was gone and left her pushing back her memories, convincing herself that it was all nothing. It was because of this that she hadn't even noticed Eswin moving the notebook from her hands, her gaze once more out the window and listening to the sound of the rain which was giving the perfect calming effect she needed. Nova's gaze turned back to the other next to her just as her showed her the notebook once more, a blush dusting her face once more at another picture since usually she didn't think of anyone paying much notice to her but that seemed to be different with Eswin. She smiled at his comment on drawing his surroundings which made sense on why she was in a few of them since they were bound to be in the same area more than once. Eswin's pictures were nagging at her though...why the butterflies? She didn't mind but the fact that they were graying kind of pulled at her nightmare. Why would he choose something like that?
"Umm...sure, why not? Can I ask you something though? I know this might sound weird but why the butterflies in your pictures with me? I mean not really butterflies but them graying? I am just curious. I draw a bit myself and it is interesting to hear people's views on what they see or what they were thinking."

A post is finally up....probably awful but it is there now T.T

Also, thinking of making Aquamarine look different in her next reform but...not so sure yet...I want to make her look more like she would have during the war (maybe before then but with some slight difference). I have a pic but again...not sure if I will do it....decision decisions.

We Are the Crystal Gems

Aquamarine was a bit startled by Emerald's question, thinking she had been hiding what she had been feeling earlier pretty well but apparently not as well as she had hope. It wasn't always helpful to have your emotions written easily for all to see, for situations and reasons just like this one but that couldn't be helped for it was just who she was. She gave a soft sigh, a weak smile upon her lips as she answered his question as best she could without going into great detail."I'll be fine, please don't worry. Bloodstone just knows how to hit my buttons is all and having it done today of all days...I just need some time is all." her voice soft and showing the sadness that was eating at her insides. That being said she looked to their newest Gem, happy to have another with them even after all that Carnelian had seen of her which was probably a complete mess."I promise that you will have any questions you desire answered upon my return and I will help you make a room with the magical Temple door if someone else doesn't show you first."

She prepared herself to leave, stopping for a second as Spinel returned back out into the main room. She was about to greet the other gem when she felt like freezing as the question of the Truce came out. She was not ready to speak of it and right now it stirred to many emotions. She knew it wasn't fair but Aqua took this moment when Spinel was distracted with Carnelian to slip away from the Temple. She needed the peace and the loneliness for awhile because she didn't need to upset the others or worry them with her own grief...her own hurt.

Her feet did the walking for her, no place in mind or thoughts on a direction as they just continued on a leisurely stroll through the night of moonlight sky and glittering stars. Aquamarine knew that she shouldn't care about Blood's words, HomeWorld viewed her the same way so why wouldn't Blood but...HomeWorld had never given her a chance or seen something in her like Blood had at some point in time. What had he seen? Did he not see it anymore? Did he regret ever having her by his side? Did he regret things he had shown her or taught her? That was probably a yes but it didn't make it any less real or less hurtful. A sigh left her as she raked her fingers slightly through her hair before taking a look at her surrounding for the first time since she had set foot out of the Temple. The lake shimmered with light, the image of the twinkling starry night reflecting in its inky depths with only the gentle breeze to distort the image since there was no one around at the moment but herself who could do that. She sat on the dock, her feet hovering over the water as she looked at her reflection with a small frown and trying to push away the feeling of tears that wanted to rise. Would a Truce really be all that great? She didn't know. Would they all leave and go with Blood eventually? She wouldn't stop them if they did but it would leave her with more scars, ones deeper than imaginable...joining ones that were already there. What was right? What was wrong? She didn't know and she didn't trust but now if she said no to Blood's request it would not be because of what the others wanted but because she wanted too which wasn't right but...she couldn't face that right now...maybe another day...maybe another moment...

Her mind felt like her worse enemy at the moment and it was frustrating her to no end. She kicked at the water below her feet violently, letting the water splash and ripple as she felt ready to scream. She stood up and paced a bit, stopping after some time had past before taking a deep breath to regain some calm. She moved back over to the edge of the wooden dock and moved one of her feet out, hovering the single foot above the water and closing her eyes to relax as ice began to build over the spot just under it before she stepped fully down. The small spot of ice spreading out till the whole lake was frozen over enough to support her weight. Aquamarine slowly swayed as if music were playing before she began to skate, pushing off to glide gracefully on the ice and dancing to a beat only she could hear. She danced and moved the same way she had so many times before, not caring or worrying about anything around her or even in her own mind. She just let herself be, jumping, twirling, bending and moving with no judgements or thoughts on what needed to be done. In this moment she was free to have fun and just be free. No HomeWorld, no war, no conflict, no past, no future. Only the present and this moment. For now that would be enough because reality would come back soon, it always did and she would face it in do time as she always did. It just felt nice to have a weight off her shoulders for a moment.
