Azula was watching the snow fall. Normally it wouldn't have mattered: it was peasant weather last year, and only reminded her that she would defeat the little upstart water nation girl. These days, she liked to watch the weather change, the snowflakes fall: it reminded her of the Mercury she remembered, and how THIS Mercury would enjoy the snow.

In a way, Azula knew there was a pointlessness to her small, albeit foolish yearnings. She settled for a close roommate.

"She will think of you," Azula said. "You are lucky there. She will be with her Kunzite too. I only hope she may think of me occasionally."

Seeing the Fire Princess walk in, Mercury immediately scooted herself over, giving Azula room on her bed to sit, patting the area with a smile. "I don't think it's possible to forget you, Azula," she commented, "If anything, I hope her future... turns out differently." She took another sip of her drink, licking it off the top of her mouth.

Azula settled down next to Mercury. It was comforting in a way, to be close to someone she considered a friend. She seemed to have so few of them lately.

"I wish that too," Azula said. "That girl bore more than her fair share of troubles in this place. If I can do anything, it is to make sure you do not have that burden. Anyhow, amusing as it may seen, I have always liked the senshi of water and knowledge."

Finishing off her cocoa, Mercury sat it aside, curling her arms around her knees. "She's so headstrong, stubborn, straightforward... At first, I saw no similarities at all between us. And yet... we were more alike than I care to admit." She chuckles, shaking her head. "If anyone can change fate, it's my twin."

Erk smiled, a little sadly. "I suppose I know how you feel," he said quietly.

Mercury looked up, smiling faintly. "Homesickness isn't contagious, is it?" she joked lightly.

Erk had to smile at that. "Not last I checked. No more than laughter can be sometimes, at any rate. But a lot of worlds seem to have holidays around this time of year... it makes it difficult not to think about the people who aren't there. The ones still at home, or the ones who were sent away..."

Mercury nodded. "It's probably the Snow Season back home," she murmured, looking to the stars. She wondered if she could see Mercury, somehow, twinkling along with the stars.
