DNAx steps closer to Foxjin,

“I came back to find you” he says.

She looks at him frozen in shock, he doesn’t look any different than when she’d seen him last, it's almost like she never disappeared at all, it feels impossible for him to have found her yet here he is standing right in front of her.

“No” she says taking a step away from him, it's all she can manage to say.

“Foxjin?” he asks, “I thought you trusted me.”

She did, at one point... but that feels long ago now even though it's only been a month or two since the battle.
He smiles at her happily and she clenches her fists slightly unsure what to say or do, she prefers her life in the ravine, and she's scared to get close to him again... knowing that he still likes her, it’s that same look he always gives.
And Colder.. She had just met him, her insides twist as she realizes he's not far away, and she had forgotten to tell him about DNAx more...

“It's too late I don't trust you” she murmurs stepping away slightly again, she doesn't have the heart to shoot him or run.

“Yeah, but you can trust me again and I still trust you,” DNAx replies holding out his hand to her hopeful she will take it.
She stands there stock still,

“We don't have to go back to the Resistance, we can go off on our own, just us...” he says.

“How did you find me?” she asks.

“Wandered around the desert after I woke up and when that didn't work I found help,” he doesn't specify who and that makes her more suspicious.

“I found you by chance, but I was lucky I did.”

She doesn't want to say it, but she does,

“Go away...” 

“No, I'll never leave!” DNAx replies looking hurt, “you didn't want me to find you?” he steps closer to her.

She backs away more raising her bow,

“We aren't friends anymore...” her eyes narrow as she decides to tell him the truth.

“What? Yes we are” he insists.

She raises her bow pointed at him, 

I'm sorry...

"Why would you do that I'm your friend,” DNAx says then before she can release an arrow he tackles her to the ground.

“Hey!” she yells not scared of him as much anymore, it kinda feels like the old days at the Resistance before they had moved... the days she had pushed to the back of her mind and forgotten.
She stares up at him not saying a word, he lets her up and they sit there on the grass.

“Look, I know... that...” DNAx struggles to find the words, but she knows what he's going to say...
Then there's walking feet.

“Hey what are you-” a voice asks then stops, she turns to see Colder standing there, sword in hand.

Oh no.

It's all that she can think.

“Who are you?” DNAx demands.

Colder stares in shock at him then looks at Foxjin who gets up and backs away grabbing her bow.
DNAx and Colder are both standing there staring at each other.

“Who are you and what do you think you're doing here” Colder asks sharply holding up his sword.

“I'm Foxjin’s friend, are you?” DNAx glares back at him then draws his own swords. Then Colder springs, his sword hits nothing and he spins around, his sword grazes DNAx’s shoulder.
