[sootprints]

[ some time after the dust's settled, kate comes over to find rondo.

and she holds out a little envelope that says To Cordelia on it. ]

[ CUTE!!!!!!!!!!

HE LIGHTS UP IMMEDIATELY ]

Miss Kate! [ AAA ] You remembered! Of course you did, I'm not surprised, but - thank you, thank you so much!

I wrote one for Miss Emilico, it's sitting in my room! I'll have to go grab it.

[sootprints]

I did my best, for writing a letter to someone I've never met before. I tried to mention some of the nice memories I made here... some of them, with you. And the other things I enjoy. Maybe we'll turn out to have a few things in common.

[ and he might not get to see this until later, but she signed it with her proper name. kate mirrors. ]

I'm sure Emilico will be happy, too.

[ after everything kate's been through, it's so nice to hear her talk of her nice memories - rondo smiles, affectionate and fond. ALSO THE KATE LORE!!!!! EATS IT!!!!! I WISH HE WAS LESS POLITE

anyway ]

I'm sure you will. [ have things in common. ] I plan to deliver them to her as soon as things settle down at home. And... with the machine, hopefully we can deliver things like that enough to strike up friendships, and meet each other's precious people as things settle for everyone.

[ soft and happy at the sheer thought. ]

... I never got to ask, Miss Kate - you did get to make your wish, right?

[sootprints]

I did.

At the time... I didn't think I was going to make it back alive. [ she was very much monster-possessed and realizing she was deteriorating badly. ] So I wished for the elimination of the power that was used to control the children's minds in the House. That way, they would have a chance to be free whether I made it back or not.

[flameguard]

[ soft... sympathy flutters across his expression, his emotions - but, rondo smiles at her at that, warm and proud. ]

And now you get to go back to them, after everything.

[sootprints]

... Yes.

The hard part is what comes next... tearing down the false system of nobility and taking the house back. But I'll have more allies than I could have imagined. So... we'll definitely succeed.

[flameguard]

You will. [ he reaches out to give her shoulder a little squeeze. ]

If there's anything I can do to help, Miss Kate...

[sootprints]

[ oh... she's grateful for that. she's definitely anxious about going back. ]

Rondo...

... To be honest, I don't know what's going to happen. I may have to go back to being "Kate Shadows" for a while... or maybe there will be no time for pretending, and we'll have to fight...
