McmollyEmiri remained silent, listening to the conversation between Levi and Jaakuna unfold. She was somewhat surprised when she would say that she had wanted to help them. Tilting her head curiously, she would watch and listen, her eyes widening as she would make a claim that she could restore her memories. Her heart would beat in her ears, her mind wondering. Could she really be capable of such a thing? Despite not knowing (or remembering) who she was, Emiri found herself very much tempted by her offer. Her mind would whirl with the possibilities. Though she did find herself wondering about what power she was talking about.
For her, the offer was simply too good to pass up. Emiri would make up her mind, stepping forward. "I...If there is a way..." She started slowly, looking at Jaakuna. "I want to at least try."

Gods knew she had missed this. Or at least, her body did. It was passion at its rawest, and she found herself entirely lustful for him. She wasn't really thinking, all she knew was that she wanted him, and she wanted him badly. Her moans would encourage him to go on, but as soon as it had started it stopped. She would open her eyes and see a woman there. By Jaakuna's reaction, she could tell this woman was not friendly. Except...she still had no idea who exactly she was, really. Emiri looked at her somewhat cautiously, though something told her that her presence here was not a good thing.
The trip to the Great Crystal was...uneventful and unfulfilling. It just was not fun at all, especially since they had already gone through this before. Still, once they would see that glorious Waystone, it was fact that the journey was only starting right now. Taking a deep breath, Nadeline would activate the Waystone, and soon the familiar hues of orange crystal would surround them. By this time her determination stood fast, though her enthusiasm lessened somewhat. She looked around, as if trying to decide which way to go. She couldn't even use the way she 'remembered', as everything looked the same. Instead she simply picked a path and began to walk.

Emiri couldn't help but be slightly grateful that Jaakuna hadn't pulled away again. He accepted her kiss, to which she was secretly overjoyed. It wasn't like last time, though. He wasn't a stranger, he was her boyfriend and lover. How she found herself longing for this familiarity, this comfort. Admittedly she had missed the emotional connection, but for one reason or another she didn't mind the physical kind either. As if on cue her heart beat faster, an odd nervousness and anxiousness overwhelming her. No words, just actions. She was okay with that.
As the group walked to the Waystone, Grant couldn't help but wonder about Nadeline's newfound strength. Or rather, the lack of it anyway. It was more than obvious that Nadeline was one of the more...weaker physical fighters. Not that he was one to talk, considering that he wasn't exactly a physical fighter himself. Still, the point was that Nadeline couldn't have possible been able to literally push the door open. As he walked past it he couldn't help but try to push it himself. It was exactly as he had imagined: like trying to shove through a wall. He frowned slightly, though in all honesty he would give up on thinking about it. After all, they shouldn't complain, and no way was he going to walk all the way bak to the Ifrit just to go get Jaakuna to open the gate.
They would gather around the Waystone, and the run would vanish. Nadeline wrinkled her nose slightly, not really missing the mustiness of the inside of Giruvegan. Still, there was work to be done. Withdrawing her sword, Nadeline would lead the way.

Jaakuna was happy now. Her heart swelled, and at the moment Emiri felt nothing but happy as well. Soon they would be truly reunited in every sense of the word. Although something deep inside longed for him. It was a truly odd feeling, but she recognized it as the same feeling she had when they were in Stigma. Only now, she would understand it. Bits and pieces of memory would explain each emotion, and she understood this one well, it seemed. Suddenly she would look at him, a half curious and half nervous look on her face. She wasn't entirely sure how she could put it into words. So she wouldn't.
Her free hand would touch his cheek, and without really noticing or realizing it, she would get closer to him. Her heart pounded against her chest, but she knew exactly what she wanted to do. Her large violet eyes would look right into his emerald colored ones for a moment, a rather intense stare. Still, she would break it and look down for a moment, closing her eyes. When she would look up again, her cheeks would be slightly pink. No more hesitating. Making up her mind, Emiri would take in a deep breath to calm her nerves. Only then would she finally act, enveloping Jaakuna in a very soft kiss.
That thought seemed to have sent a wave of discouragement through the group--or at the very least, a very sudden realization. Grant stared at Savaya incredulously, as if she had suggested a completely wild idea. Nadeline would cluck her tongue, though she would step forward and inspect the gates. She put her hand on one side, her fingers sparking lightly from the ancient magicks within. Despite Belias' presence being absent, the gates would still respond. The blonde would then nod, and out of nowhere began pushing against the gate. Grant stared at Nadeline struggling against the much larger gate before her. Perhaps the pressure of the trip had finally driven her insane. As he opened his mouth to say something, to his absolute amazement the gate would actually start to open.
His jaw dropped noticeably as the petite princess pushed, and soon her side of the gate was open. She let out a loud squeal of delight and spun around to the group. "We walk right in, of course!" She responded to Savayna's question as if it had been the most obvious thing in the world. "Now let us continue, on to the Waystone then!" She cheerfully walked right in, leading the way. Grant stared at her in disbelief. He couldn't believe she just pushed the gate open. Seriously.

Emiri would stay as silent as Jaakuna was, albeit she would not know exactly why. She watched his rather concentrated face, waiting for him to say something. After a few minutes she scratched her cheek, though she would step in front of Jaakuna. The blonde was off in his own little world, it would seem. She didn't even get to tell him her favorite part of her trip down memory lane, though. The fact was that despite everything being somewhat fuzzy, there was one particular part that stood out above the rest. The brunette's smile would falter as she stared at him, though she was well aware that she could walk away now and he wouldn't even notice. Her hand would take his with her hoping he would notice her touch. She brought his hand up and she held it against her cheek.
"The one thing that I remember the most, though...is you."
-------
The trip back to Giruvegan would sourly test Nadeline's newfound enthusiasm. Just the thought of having to walk all the distance was enough to make her cringe. At the very least, the group could confidently find that at the very least, the monsters would not prove as much of a challenge as they had the last time they had come. Nadeline would mostly use the trip to properly expand on and experiment with the extent of the magical feather in her hair. It would only grant her access to Black Magicks and whatever else she had known. It did not seem to strengthen her magic, as she would find her healing normal. It didn't seem to provide anything else, though Black Magic in itself was like opening a present she had not asked for.
After their trails and only a little weared, the gates of Giruvegan were in front of them once more. Grant would let out a slight groan of mixed pleasure and pain. Just the trek was enough to tire him out, really, and the thought of having to navigate through just to get to the Great Crystal...he didn't even want to think about it. Nadeline would catch the slump in his shoulders and would promptly nudge him. "Really now, Grant...the journey has just begun!" She said with such vigor and eagerness.
"Where do you get that energy, I wonder?" He asked curiously.
"The one thing that I remember the most, though...is you."

"Where do you get that energy, I wonder?" He asked curiously.
It was time to rumble. Her rapier was ready, her supplies were packed, and Nadeline felt more determined than ever. No time for moping around, that was for sure. Not only that, but she had made up her mind to conquer Ultima herself. She hopped lightly in place, obviously combat ready and very eager to go. Wesley and Savayna would give their farewells, with Jaakuna wishing them well. Grant would nod, though he would say nothing. "We will be back as soon as possible." The princess would tell Jaakuna and Emiri. "We will be victorious...and then it's on to Zodiark."
"See you soon." Emiri said, offering a small wave as the group would disappear from their sights. The brunette would frown slightly as she adjusted her wreath, though she would look at Jaakuna happily. "I think it's working." She told him, obviously referring to the magic. "Little by little...I can't remember exact details, but a lot of the major events in my life are coming back. My mother and father...my betrothal to the prince...the decision to run away from my life...all the hardships I endured through the life of a hunter, and..." She trailed off as her gaze went upwards. Her eyes would then go down and land on Jaakuna's. "I remember meeting you. How funny fate can be."

The prince hadn't realized that Savayna had gotten so close until she was right before him. She'd wrap her arms around him, and he admitted his surprise. He could have sworn her of all people would have scolded him, ridiculed him. Instead she was completely sympathetic. Something deep in him swelled up, but he was just so glad that at least she was not blaming him. He felt eternally grateful and equally as guilty. He didn't deserve her kindness, not one bit. He would hug her back tightly, only now noticing how small she was compared to him. Perhaps it was her demeanor that had distracted him.
Either way he thanked the gods.

"I haven't told everyone how it happened. Though I will say it was entirely my fault." Grant would admit. "Against my better judgment I let Emiri go after Jaakuna. Someone in Rabanastre said they had seen him go to the Westersand. It was a lie, and that isn't even the worst part." The prince would pause for a moment, as if contemplating whether to continue or not. Oh well, too late to back away at this point, right? "During this time there was an absolutely terrible sandstorm. While we were riding we got attacked...and I lost Emiri in the desert. It wasn't until the sand had settled that I had found her. She had used her power to fight...when I got to her she was in pretty bad shape. She was even hallucinating...she thought I was Jaakuna." He would finally get the truth out in the open. "So...yes. I am to blame. If I had convinced her to stay...hell, if I could have just looked after her properly she would not have overused her power and she would not have forgotten everything she knew and loved." There. He said it.
As Savayna would reassure him, it would be Grant's turn to sigh. "This is why I don't like to keep secrets." He muttered. Yeah, he had been assuring himself, not explaining things to her. At that point he would stare at her, contemplating something. "With that being said...I could use an opinion." He said as he would absentmindely pat the side of his chest--where the letter from Vlyn remained. "While you were all in Balfonheim we went to Rozarria, I went to the castle...you see, in Anther is where...it's where Emiri's father was stationed." He would speak very quietly at that point, lest Emiri overhear or walk by. "Her father seems...alive, at the very least. However, the same cannot be said about her mother." He would reveal this to Savayna with much reluctance. "I think Emiri has every right to know all things considered, but with everything that has happened...I am at a loss. I have informed Jaakuna of this but..."
Grant was glad that Savayna understood. She could be a hot head, but deep down she cared. Mostly. At least he hoped so. Of course that was also when Savayna would bring up precisely what made Nadeline and Wesley fight in the first place: Jaakuna's secret. "In all fairness I wanted to say something." Grant would raise his hands in defense. "And Jaakuna DID plan on telling everyone after our night out...things just happened to go south a lot sooner before we could even discuss it." He would explain to her. "If everything had gone smoothly, everyone would have known and we could have worked things out. Jaakuna would not have taken off...Emiri wouldn't have forgotten everything...it's just all bad timing." At this point he had to wonder if he was explaining things to her or trying to assure himself of the reason.
