![]() ![]() Or rather, their movements were too weird. “There was someone else controlling them.” Those who battled them alongside me might have… realized something was off.” Ask them thoroughly about the beasts, though. “I suppose your usual agents would… would have had trouble spotting them. Sentience shrugged, or rather moved her shoulders a tiny bit before wincing with pain. If she wasn’t mistaken, wasn’t there some sort of research being done about that? ![]() “I… puppets, you say? The crew told me you fought against Honkai Beasts.” Fu Hua frowned, trying to divert the conversation to another, equally important issue. The gashes weren’t open anymore, thankfully, but the color and coldness to them were something appalling, something that made Hua remind herself of her training in order to not let her emotions show so easily. Rather, the purple lines, signs of corruption that crisscrossed and wove a tale of the fight itself in pale skin, seemed to be stronger. ![]() She kept her face straight even though the sight wasn’t the most welcoming: the balm she had applied the night before was supposed to aid with healing, and yet there was little to no progress on any of the wounds. The same I fought against before… ya know.”įu Hua didn’t, but simply tilted her head while removing one of the bandages from Sentience’s arm. You used to like some really weird food back in the day, so.” Sentience sneered, and something about her tone made everything lighter-Hua knew that if she let that go on, she might even manage to overlook how bad the situation was. “Hmpf, if you… saw them, you wouldn’t disagree. Had she really been that loud on top of everything else, probably entertaining the Valkyrie for the time being? The Herrscher glanced away, a bit self-conscious. “It was something about how annoying some beings were… though I think the first word you used was ugly?” “A bad dream? Strange, given what you were muttering and how active you were, it felt like you were having quite a time.” Fu Hua beamed at her, then sat down to retrieve the first aid supplies she had been using once again. It made her feel warm, a sharp contrast to the chillying thoughts which had taken her over since her time at the Theater of Domination. “I was… having a bad dream, Sorry it made things tough for you.”Īs if she had noticed the Herrscher’s intention, Fu Hua leaned down, hand gently brushing all strands of hair away from Sentience’s face. A sensation that got even worse once she tried moving her hand to push away a strand of hair from her face, and found it too heavy, too tough to control. “Don’t… apologize.” For all the screaming she had done during that fight, it was somewhat frustrating to recall that she was wounded, in a fragilized state. An echo of what had surrounder her as she woke up, saw the world for the first time with the feather’s company.Īn echo that was comforting, and wholesome as well, in a moment such as that. Sentience couldn’t help but stare at her for a bit longer, to bask in the sense of utter calm she experienced right then and there. You were moving around a bit too much, making it tough for me to work on your bandages.” Fu Hua explained, her voice every bit as contrite as her eyes. Something about her eyes was soothing, grounding, a great sight after the so-called Theater of Domination that she had been visiting more and more often as of recently.Įven more so after her brush with the Honkai Beasts and the puppets not too long ago. Yet having the old timer so close made that a lot… more bearable. If they had been unwelcome before, when she was in the medical bay with her "case" being discussed by doctors, then it would have been another matter altogether. Beyond the door she could hear more sounds, steps and voices that helped ground her in reality after that eerie dream. The place was the same as it had been when Sentience had fallen asleep, given in to exhaustion and the heaviness of her mind. Blue eyes peered at her, shining in the gloomy room. ![]()
