007 ☀ action/voice;
[ Crona stands motionless in front of the Rainbow Fountain, staring down at a coin-- that's right, a real coin, this little speck of at least some shade of home, previously acquired from Claire and currently laid in the center of his palm. there's been a lot on his mind lately. a lot about things that have happened during his stay at Splendor, and

[a beat, like she's thinking on this; but instead of answering, Maka goes on to ask instead:]
.. What about you, Crona? What would you do?

ah, he feels...guilty. ]
I...
[ well. no use in dragging it out. ]
As long as you guys are here, a-as long as there's the possibility of the rest showing up...

[but she can, at least, understand the reasoning behind Crona's response]

Like...what if it's by myself? What if I don't even go back to Shibusen?
[ it's as honest as he can be about the situation. ]

[a solid response, despite her not knowing the actual answer]
.. And you won't be by yourself, either-- I won't let you be.

I hope so. I'm just afraid, I guess. Splendor was bearable for the time I was alone, b-but...
[ but he can't say the same for back at Shibusen. maybe he's blowing things out of proportion, but he has the worst feeling...guhhhh how can he save this conversation??? he always has to make things depressing! ]

he sounds a little more inclined towards the idea, now. ]
It has...it's been a really long time. [and Crona's definitely been aware of each day passing. he'd been all but glued to her back at Shibusen, so how...independent he's become, at Splendor? it's scary, as well as prideful feeling for himself, but...he certainly misses her.] O-okay...!

[ staring at the Seal, Crona hovers in place almost anxiously, glancing at the Rainbow Fountain a little ways away. he hasn't seen Maka in person in...awhile. he isn't even sure what happened between her and Izaya, or--what happened about that in general.
still...he's a little excited, too. despite any anxiety, she's obviously very important to him, s-so... ]

-- Hey, Crona!
[and she continues rushing, not stopping until she's right by; for a brief moment Maka leans over, hands on her knees, letting out a large breath as if she literally had been rushing to get there. but then she looks up at Crona, straightening herself, donning a smile and looking genuinely happy to be there.]
I didn't take too long, did I?

-M-Maka...!
[ the meister can't contain the genuine (if shy) smile that spreads across his lips, twitching at the corners as if it's something he's not used to. ]
N-no...! [ she had, actually, but it's already out of his mind. ] -Y-you got here really quick...! I-I'm impressed.

Good! Then-- first thing's first.
[promptly after, Maka grabs a hold of Crona's hands in her own, squeezing them tight]
I came here because I wanted to see you, but... Most of all, I just wanted to say that you don't have to be afraid.
