"It's been awhile," comes a teasing voice, which should be extremely familiar since Princess Mercury hears it every time she talks. Say hello to alternate #2837829379232. Behind the amusement is some irritation at yet again finding herself here, unintentionally.
Despite the many alternates, the many doubles, the Princess always can just tell who her twin is. "Long time no see, twin," she greets in return, "I trust you're well?"
"If I weren't in the nexus, I'd be perfect," Mercury returns, but she seems to be taking it in-stride nonetheless. There's a hint of her usual sly smile.
Kunzite is not amused. But he rarely is, these days; it's as if the best he can do, now, is that cynicism. He offers Mercury a cursory greeting, lips quirking up in that wry half-smirk.
Mercury resists the urge to roll her eyes. A Kunzite. How droll. "Kunzite," she greets with the slightest smirk, "You've all the charm of an ice wall, as always."
"Another me?" Mercury asks. She's familiar enough with the Nexus to be aware of them, but she hasn't met them. She stares long and hard, but prompted by curiosity above all, tracing the similarities between them. It's uncanny.

"An ice wall can be beautiful," he adds. And exquisite when it finally melts, he does not say.

"I'm pleased to meet you," she offers politely. "I wondered if I would be able to meet someone like you some day."
