<b>RE: A New Fate for the Twins [Razgriz x Karameida x Serenity]</b><br/><br/><b><div style="text-align: center">Hikaru Kimiko​</div></b><br/><br/>Hikaru was almost overwhelmed by Mortimer's overpowering sense of loss and betrayal. She felt it almost as if it were her own. And not for the first time, she cursed the limits to her abilities to only be able to cure the physical so completely. She had learned over the centuries that only words and time could mend the heart. And so long as he was her contractor, she would have time.<br/><br/>At this moment though, she could also feel her twins pressing need to move on, it mirrored her own. She had been apart of this slaughter simply by giving her unwavering consent, and while she didn't regret it, she did need to get away from the oppressive feel of death and suffering that filled the room. It too was wearing on her, in the weakened state she was left in after healing such a major injury after eons of inactivity. So much so that she left her twin to flounder as the minutes past and Mortimer continued to sob, lost in the suffering, death, and pain that would probably continue to haunt this room for a very long time, even after the bodies were gone.<br/><br/>The minutes seemed to stretch on forever before she became aware of movement, and looked up to see Mortimer slung over her twins thin shoulders as he continued to sob. If the situation hadn't been so awful, she might have laughed at the comical sight of such a small woman, carrying a larger man with as much ease as if she were lifting a small child.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#c71585">“Forgive me....I was distracted.”</span>She said instead, pushing back the urge to laugh.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#c71585">“And, yes I agree.”</span>Hikaru said with a nod, falling into step beside Tsukiko as they navigated their way up to another large room. The air grew warmer as they moved through the cavern and up through a hidden door that lead to another room, one she recognized as the Fortescu basement once they entered it.<br/><br/>As they walked the oppressive feeling that had overwhelmed her in the cavern slowly left the twin of Light. Until it dissipated completely as her foot touched the stone floor of the basement. A sigh of relief passed her lips and she glanced to her twin, about to speak when the soft sound of feet on steps made its way to her, and she turned to look at the woman coming down the stairs...a maid, she thought, sifting though Mortimers memories. The woman's expression upon seeing the three of them was finally  enough to draw out Hikaru's laugh.<br/><br/>She raised a slim hand to cover her upturned lips, and stifle her soft laughter so as not to offend, or enrage the young woman further. As she did her twin spoke, and she could feel the irritation and anger that laced her twins impressions tone in response to the maid's bold threa. In a matter of minutes the maid had given in and agreed to supply them with clothes and a bath, for which Hikaru was immensely grateful.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#c71585">“Thank you, it is much appreciated and will not be forgotten.”</span>Hikaru's warm voice filled the room for the first time as they began to follow the maid up the stairs and through the house to Mortimer's chambers.
