[+] head to the side , further sinking onto the other's soft lap. ᅠ〝ᅠSemantics aside , though. I am plenty curious on the developments happening to the ruins of my old kingdom , and I do believe you'll find marvel on it , even if long gone. I wish to show you. ᅠ〞 ᅠ

[+] welcoming them in silent acknowledgement. Her voice goes softer and quieter to match. ᅠ〝ᅠI'd say stalk is the right term , much like a predator weighing its chance for a strike. Only difference being how unlike prey I am , of course. ᅠ〞 ᅠSlightly tilting [+]

ᅠ ᅠ Stiff. Very stiff. ᅠThe whispers ,, the toying with her horn , Hornet was unusually still throughout it all. Not particularly receptive , moreso acquiescing. ᅠThe huntress did not particularly want Lace to stop her actions , and so she just laid there , [+]

[+] ᅠ〝ᅠYou've . . . Stalked me plenty , yes .ᐣ Back when I first arrived. Researched me , and everything that constitutes my self .ᐣ I'd assume then , you'd know I come from Hallownest. ᅠ〞 ᅠ

[+] ᅠRaising needle gently , to take a lazy glance at it. ᅠ〝ᅠPlus I've my destination set clear , either way. And with how easy it is to lose oneself on the ashen deserts of nothingness , the least time we spend there , the better. ᅠ〞 [+]

ᅠ ᅠYet another soft , very brief , amused chuckle. One of those she so rarely allowed herself to have. Hornet would gently shake head , as to deny. ᅠ〝ᅠMuch as I tolerate your wit , miss , an indefinite amount of it would drive anyone to madness. ᅠ〞 [+]

[+] ᅠ〝ᅠI assume those Carapaces long gone after they were unthreaded from the Curse had the knowledge , since they were the ones who brought me. In turn , I assume you'd be able to obtain it , if you don't have it already.ᅠ〞 ᅠ

[+] ᅠ Stern , decisive response. Hornet very much liked being alert at all times. ᅠ〝ᅠI was simply suggesting that I barely remember the paths and creavasses that led from the vast nothingness onto the capital's doors.ᅠ〞 [+]

[+] ᅠ〝ᅠThough your assumption of me desiring unconsciousness is all but right. As a being so intrinsically devoid of the need to rest , not being fully awake is a deeply unsettling experience. So try and I shall see you felled. ᅠ〞 [+]

ᅠ ᅠ〝ᅠIt was surprisingly easy , though I am debating still whether it was best kept as a thought. Still ,, ᅠ〞 ᅠComfortably shifting around in place to get into the best position available , gaze absentmindedly looking elsewhere. [+]

[+] soft , unexpected , quiet gesture of closeness. ᅠ〝ᅠ — those are all excuses for the actual motive. I simply wish for your company during my travels. ᅠ〞 ᅠ

[+] Pharloom would more than speed up our travels. Not that I wouldn't be able to hold my own regardless. All that to say ,, — ᅠ〞 ᅠWith Lace behind her , she'd take the chance to gently lean back in order to rest against her frame , attempting to surprise her with a [+]

[+] all adverse to the relationship they had formed between themselves. ᅠ〝ᅠThe travel would be lonesome wby myself. And to say I was fully conscious when I first was brought here would be but a lie , so , any knowledge you may find or hold regarding the wastes past [+]

ᅠ ᅠ〝ᅠIn all fairness , I all but suggest it. After all , any praise I'd utter towards you would quickly see me mocked for it , would it not .ᐣ ᅠ〞 ᅠIt sounded like scolding , and yet there was a particular warmth to Hornet's tone that suggested she wasn't at [+]

[+] more serious and decisive tone than before. ᅠ〝ᅠThere's yet still things for me to do there. But I intend not to go until I have for certain you're given the proper chance to follw. T'is all. ᅠ〞 ᅠ

[+] which would be accompanied by hornet taking some tension off of the situation as she decided to conveniently unsheathe her needle in order to tend to it with cloth. ᅠ〝ᅠI intend on heading to my birthplace soon , child. ᅠ〞 ᅠShe'd suddenly add , in a much [+]

[+] ᅠ〝ᅠAnd yet . . . I don't think that would be the case if you weren't as ,, ' prattly ' as you are. Your words make me yearn for silence , and yet your company makes me yearn for talk. How's that , for sweetness .ᐣ ᅠ〞 ᅠRhethorical question , of course , [+]

ᅠ ᅠA soft , brief , regal chuckle escapes the huntress , as she turns back wholly and takes a step towards Lace. She'd tilt head slightly in amusement , while replying. ᅠ〝ᅠI'd say I enjoy your silent company more than this incessant talking , truth be told. ☆ ᅠ〞[+]

[+] ᅠᅠ〝ᅠ Matter of fact , I've come to reminisce fondly of the times you've attempted to vanquish me , as well. For what's worth , I quite enjoy how little breathing room there is between our strikes. ᅠ〞 ᅠ
