Kaoru, too, pushes her mask up and away from her face. It served better to see him, and he her, with out it in the way. She could scarcely believe it. What should she say to him? That she'd looked for him everywhere? That she had been worried and wanted to see him? Instead she tries her best to right herself, smoothing her skirts a bit but still choosing not to let go of his hand.
"There you are." She says simply, almost as if it was obvious she took great pains to find him. Oh how she wanted to just hug him right then, but still she remains frozen on the spot despite the warmth of his hand practically making her insides warm up. "Do you know where this place is?"
She still refused to believe their home was gone. She'd wanted so badly for him to go back to it with her.
All the same she isn't sure if it's happiness or anxiety that settles in her chest. She found him at last and she should be happy, right? Yet she still feels nervous, as if she's crossed a line and he might even be upset with her. He had left for important reasons, after all. She should have respected that but at the same time she'd gone with Megumi's encouragement, had taken Yahiko with her to help in her endeavor, and here they'd somehow ended up on a different path but still with the result she wanted.
Fate was strange like that, it seemed.
Almost as if realizing her face is injured, Kaoru gasps, bringing her hand up to her cheek only to withdraw it with bloodstains. She hadn't wanted him to see her in a mess like this but unfortunately she wasn't getting that wish tonight. He would have to take her blood smears and all, it seems.
