Pressing her face into the cloth of the pillow, thoughts swarmed her. Why did he decide to give up his immortality for her? Did he really care so much that he would rather die than be apart from her? As romantic as that sounded, she couldn't help but wonder, why her? Why a simple Terminian woman who was feisty on occasion and preferred to go by her father's wishes? True, she had quite the surprising backstory that she had only recently found out about, but other than that, was she really that special? Compared to some of the other women she had encountered, she wasn't the prettiest, nor the smartest -after all, she had put on a bunch of masks without much thought, often resulting in embarrassing moments- but Chance still stuck around. Maybe it was because of his memories, like it had been from the beginning.<br/><br/>She lifted her head when she heard Chance speak. She was terribly solemn as she nodded and floated up with him to eat. "I'll... be ok" she muttered, though anyone could tell she might be lying.<br/><br/>As they ate, Ester simply turned on autopilot, eating absentmindedly. She didn't react to much, and even though she ate a little, it wasn't much more than moving her food around on the plate.<br/><br/>All she could think about was her appearance. Was this new form so much better than her old one? Sure, it enhanced her curves like crazy, but was that why Chance couldn't take his eyes off her? Where was this avid attention earlier? Maybe she wasn't pretty enough. Maybe Shadow Ester had been able to transform herself into an even prettier version of Ester's Terminian form to make Chance go gaga over her when they had first met. This revelation made her drop her fork unceremoniously, and she got out of her seat. "Sorry... I'm not that hungry..." she muttered, floating back downstairs.
