Scar's Repair (0.2.5) (Downtime)
Mistral held Scar with her level gaze, wondering if he recognized when his speech came out as garbled static. At length she answered, "Oui. We have. Now we meet again." She paced the room slowly, pensive. She was normally glad to be forgotten, an anonymous background extra to all who encountered her. Being forgotten by a friend was harder, though she knew it was not his fault.
Mistral pulled up a chair by the foot of the bed and took a seat, folding her legs knee-over-knee. After another pause she said drily, "I held a blade to your throat at our first meeting, so perhaps it is not the worst thing to have une recommencer. A do-over." She shrugged and added, "Perhaps you have also forgotten my ingratitude." She wrung her hands and added in a low voice, but earnest, "You have stood by us through nightmares and risked yourself to protect others, sans plaintes. You were nearly destroyed protecting bébé Alex, and only then did I realize I took this for granted. So I will say 'merci,' Scar. Je me souviens de toi."
