Before, when she'd let herself be more in the public eye, she'd managed to build up quite the target on her back. She didn't want to draw anyone else into that. Then again, maybe that was just an excuse. Maybe she was tired in a way she couldn't quite explain.
She was tired in a few ways she could explain, too. Certain physical scars never quite healed. Her feet tended to ache when she walked too much, so she kept her patrols shorter these days.
She did decide to seek out an Eternal aura this night, though. She couldn't have said why. Maybe it was instinct. Maybe she knew that something about it was familiar.
That was superstition, though.
In any case, she was glad to see an old friend as she rounded the corner of a building.
"Anser," she said, not holding back the hint of a smile. It was nice to meet in a calm situation like this. The two of them had been through far too much together.
"How's it going?"
