Like any wondrous moment, it ends.

Emilia can practically feel the narrowing of his eyes in her direction. A feat, to be sure, as there is considerable distance between them, what with the sky and the sheer wingspan of their dragons.

The slit of her eyes to his, mirrored. The tilt of her chin, defiant.

"Is that what you would like to do?" she asks, a challenge in her tone, measured but with enough heat to suggest she'd take little to ignite. "Exchange notes on what we've failed to mention to each other?"

They've time before the violent winds come, to her recollection.

Perhaps she might've been deceived, once, but she's learned to read Wrath better. His answer carries the self-possession he's known for, but the tone of his voice reminds her of the Feast of the Wolf. The night that followed. She forgets this, sometimes, she does: that she has the power to hurt him.

She falls silent at the wounding reminder. Her betrayal and his omissions.

"I would thank you for that lesson," as the Master of Avoidance and Unavailability, "but I meant what I said. My actions have not been to spite you."

Their current dilemma is as intolerable to him as it is to her, she knows. But only one of them remains shackled to this fickle magic. She will not apologize for wading through that reality on her own terms, with what clarity she needs. He made his choice, and so has she.
