[ It...honestly doesn't take long. As soon as he returns she's aware of it. She waits until he's chosen their location--the place he knows she will come to him. Ego is only a small part of it now for her; she just needs to see him, get an answer.

For the first time since they've met her feet cause the floorboards to make noise as she enters the room in silence. She stops just outside of his reach with Frostmourne. Something she's never bothered to do before now. ]

[Arthas looks up at her evenly. His hand isn't wrapped around the weapon -- in fact they are both folded across his stomach, eyelids half drawn.

He's waiting for the inevitable -- the subtle signs hint at it enough, if he didn't already expect it.]

[ there will be no beating around the bush here Arthas. ]

That night--you went to see her, didn't you?

[lionbeforelambs]

[Not gonna rat Jaina out as informing him ahead of time, so!]

Who?

[nishimono]

That woman from your world. You spoke to her just before you left.

[lionbeforelambs]

I may have done that.

[nishimono]

I told you not to go. [ IT WAS A BAD IDEA, REMEMBER. ]

[lionbeforelambs]

And I told you that it needed to be done.

[nishimono]

Why?

[lionbeforelambs]

I fail to see why it is of any consequence. Do I look injured to you?

[nishimono]

You haven't been yourself.

[lionbeforelambs]

I'm fine. [He eyes her evenly.]

[nishimono]

[ Riful just gives him a look. ]

[lionbeforelambs]

[And she gets nothing in return for it.]

If there's something you want to say...then say it.

[nishimono]

That woman--what is she to you?

[lionbeforelambs]

[That's a loaded question and he knows it.]

You have nothing to fear from her.
