Going up! (Haruka thread)

[Liddo-kun]

Haruka bristles a bit at Artemis' attempt at opening dialogue, but nonetheless... "Have you ever loved someone, I mean on a level that you didn't think you thought possible, only to have that person not love you back as fully in return?" she asks softly.  "If you know that feeling, then you'd understand my situation....  But if you did, I'd pity you as well."

Why am I even bothering to tell him any of this?

A brief moment of silence is broken by a snort of derision on Haruka's part.  "I'm not even drunk and I'm pouring my heart out to a cat..." she chuckles hollowly at that.

Maybe because you need to?  A small part of her mind whispered.

Haruka gives a glance at Artemis.

Yeah.  Maybe....

The Mau pauses, face neutral for several mutatedly long moments as he considers that. "So that's it?" he asks quietly.

"It's Viluy, isn't it?" On saying so, the Mau frowns again. "Haruka..."

A sigh as he considers that, a popping sound around you as narrow pillars rise from the ice around you in a four pillar off center square.  Unadored, each pillar none the less radiates intense, stunning cold. You can feel your body going numb as the air begins to color white around you.

"I...what?" Breaking off and whipping around to stare at one of the five feet fall poles as a circular pattern of white ice-snow fills the spaces between the pillars, rapidly freezing you! "Guh!" Shuddering deeply at the cold wind, Artemis hesitates.
