The hug had went on for longer than anticipated, but Sodalite didn't care. She was getting closure for her mistakes in the past, and she felt as if she were being cleansed. In the moment, she held onto Evenkite a little tighter than normal, their bodies starting to glow before fading back to normal. Afterwards, in which Evenkite didn't seem to notice as far as Sodalite knew, she inevitably had to let go of her friend. 

She looked down at Evenkite with tenderness in her eyes. She wanted to say so much, wanted to start breaking down to rebuild herself completely, but she couldn't. She didn't want anyone, much less Evenkite, to see her in such a state. Her gaze hardened ever so slightly. What good would breaking down actually be? It wouldn't bring anything new to the table, and she already felt so much better than before.

[color=0072bc]"I... You can stay as long as you want, I'm going to head out now."[/color] Sodalite smiled cautiously, watching Evenkite scan her books and take some that interested her out of their places. [color=0072bc]"Just put them back where you found them when you're done with them!"[/color] She shouted as she neared the door, watching as the gears of her library turned to open the door. She loved that sound, the turning of gears and the clanking of metal. It was a wondrous sound to her. 

She walked out. The world looked so different than when she entered her room, and wondered what had happened. She had a question for Aqua, if she could find her, and needed to explain to everyone what Evenkite was fine now.

[color=f7941d]"Should... should we go talk to them?"[/color] In the distance, a figure whispered to someone beside them.

[color=fff200]"We have everything under control! We don't need any help from anyone else, Hess."[/color] The other voice was much hastier than the first, but matched the quiet tone that the first figure used. 
[color=f7941d]
"Okay, okay."[/color] The first, now known as Hess, raised her hands in defense. [color=f7941d]"I'm just saying, it's weird to watch people for as long as we have, and these are the first non kindergarten gems we've met in... in a while. They could help us, Pyrite, you know that."[/color]

Pyrite grumbled to herself. She had to admit when her partner was right, even if it hurt her pride. [color=fff200]"Curse you, Hessonite."[/color] Her tone was angry, but Hess knew when she wasn't being serious, and this was one of those times. 
[color=f7941d]
"Come on."[/color] Hess pulled on Pyrite's gloved hand. [color=f7941d]"Let's to talk to them."[/color]

[color=fff200]"No, no."[/color] Pyrite struggled to stay still, forcibly being dragged by the yellow skinned figure. [color=fff200]"NO."[/color]
[color=f7941d]
"Hello!"[/color] Hessonite called out, waving her free hand around. [color=f7941d]"My name is Hessonite, and this is Pyrite!"[/color]
