Warnings: She's seeking them from Mercury. 'Nough said.
So Chibiusa was coming. There was so much Mercury might think about in this situation, but everything had changed in that moment of realization during their journal discussions. It was suddenly hard to put anything into categories, sort information, take in information. She wasn't thinking of senshi or shitennou or princesses or ginzuishous or missions or past lives. It was like being splashed in the face with cold water right at the moment of waking up in the morning; it was like something unraveling with one pull on its weakest strand.
The Dark Kingdom senshi waited impatiently, her energy almost frenetic; absently, she fidgeted with her hands. Then, she made a concerted effort to compose herself, brace herself against the shock that was sure to come in just another moment when Kunzite's alternate self's daughter arrived - no, Kunzite and Sailormoon's daughter. It was enough to make her almost regret letting the girl come; Mercury would have rather been alone with her thoughts and the vague sense of futility overtaking her.
It was...slightly harder to control her dark energy these days; Mercury had finally been forced to admit it - to herself - and she wasn't eager to have another unintended consequence happen now, so it was best to remain calm. After several minutes, Mercury felt more or less recovered from her initial stunned surprise and stood by a window, waiting for Chibiusa's knock.
