Re: Floor B25 - The Lost Corridors, Mining Settlement
Shaking off of his dazed contemplation for a moment, Higura manages to reconcile enough of his thoughts to get back into the conversation, looking apologetically at the Queen.
"I apologize for this, your Majesty. My soul, my mind and my self were damaged greatly in centuries I have spent in captivity. Indeed, it even seemed at one point that it would never be reborn, broken and shattered beyond repair. My memory is in fragments, as I have mentioned before, and sometimes certain people and events act as 'keys' to unlock parts of it, it seems. But I... have recollections of it, majesty. Of this Lachesis you speak of. And of the other Moirae as well, although I recall only vague silhouettes when I try to think of them. Perhaps in time, and with your help, I will recall more." He smiles gratefully, bowing his head deeply at her praise. He does ponder, however, at the sudden realization the Queen forced in him. "Lachesis... I wonder if it survived the usurpation, and if so, I wonder what has been done with it."
When the combat finishes, the Doctor applauds with the others, visibly glad to have been allowed to witness his comrades' prowess. "This was a great display, Mister Third, Miss Dena. I am certain it is heartening for everyone to see such ability, as it shows that we may still triumph - our power is still alive, despite years spent in captivity. It is a rousing display, and I thank you for it."
The doctor joins in the cheer when the Queen makes her announcement, and even sends a look towards the refugees, who seem to have been in somewhat of a delicate and confusing position after Tycho's departure. He does send a comforting look their way, however, to Drachma and the others. He does not speak, but his gaze says what words do not: Worry not. I have seen you through these difficult times, from the Water District onwards. I will not let you down.
