[She remembered all of it, the good and the bad. Even while she was away, she hung onto those memories. Coming to Smash was a turning point in her life and a place she left a part of herself she wanted to overcome.

So she never forgot Caim, or anyone else for that matter. It was impossible to forget Caim, especially since he was the image of what she imagined a mysterious prince to be. Going to prom and being mute were unforgettable experiences.

When she was in Akaneia, saw swordsmen, and heard of princes, she thought of Caim. It had her wondering if he had ever been through war. The idea that he had would not surprise her. And now with his kind, determined words, she wondered if he was a protector of sorts. A knight, mayhaps.]

I'm glad to hear that things have been calm. [She smiled from the comfort his words brought her.] Though, I have to admit I didn't know someone was behind it all. [She refrained from asking who since she thought it best not to know. It was in the past now and with how things were going, she was finally moving on from it smoothly.]

...Thank you for coming to the city with me. [She felt bashful for saying it, but she grateful for his company and willingness to protect her.] Shall we continue on now?
