" You know, I don't have to be reasonable all the time... that can make your moves predictable, am I right?" In the end, she did take the sake bottle, and one of the ochokos, in which she have poured some sake, and drank it in one swig. " I never intended to turn back... There is no need to tell me the evident. " Her friendly tone slightly changed. The smile on her face was no more, but her eyes still had a calm feeling in them, besides the usual craziness.
"Amazing, Nicole. I'm glad that you have managed to put the pieces together.... But you did miss two things...." First, the smile came back on her face. "Not only my future is what I'm curious about.... but my past...." Then, with the smile, the friendliness disappeared, at least for the next few seconds. " I don't appreciate when someone probes my mind..." From under the table, a short barreled gun appeared, which resembled the flintlock pistols from the history of Sol. She starts to slowly spin it around "...As far as the light goes, it's alright....but the darkest corners... are to be left alone. If you take a wrong step, who knows what might lurk from the darkness." It seemed as if a completely different person have surfaced.
The gun lands on the table, further away from them. She reaches for Nicole's hands, then slowly to her face, with gentle movement. "....I'm astonished by your way of thinking..." The smile comes back, bringing the friendly attitude back.
