Cassandra tried not to think about Kumiko visiting her in her sleep. She tried not to think about how after the initial breaking, after she'd given in and stopped fighting it, not having her in her head for the last five years had been lonely. She tired to ignore how she missed the sound of her captors voice and presence in her sleep. Not that she slept much anymore. She avoided it when she could, but the times when she couldn't stave it off anymore and sleep over took her she was aware something was missing.
Not that she would tell the woman walking next to her that.
Though there was a small uptick of her lip though when the elf said she missed her. Cassandra knew Kumiko and she knew when the woman was telling the truth, even when it was hidden in sarcasm and such. The way she'd said it so casually was indicative of the fact that she was trying to a bit too hard to hide her true feelings. Or at least, once upon a time, that's what Cass had wanted to believe.
As they made their way into the main square of Arlathan Myta curled around her neck, making herself small and unassuming as Cass had trained her. The place was so alive and Cass found herself quite proud of Vela and the others involved for what they'd created here. She glanced over tat Kumiko as the child ran off, unsure of what to say or do now. She didn't want to see Vela for the first time in years with Kumiko by her side. There would have been no way for her to hide the history between them.
Fortunately Kumiko saved her that fear, moving to follow after the child and calling a command after her. Leaving Cass to determine if she was going to do as she's told.
