The sea level was rising

It had always been rising, slowly, steadily...year after year, away from sight, but it was and it would continue to do so until that "day" came. A reminder that deep inside she loathed with all her heart for all the things that it meant, for the darkness that day that should never be.

Where the city would drown underneath the waves....and she would remain all alone. Crying....in her throne after living a painful long lie of an existence.

"Furina, is something wrong...?"

The softness of Enas voice drew her away from the dark waters that streamed away in the harbour and the foreboding dread that they carried with them, her mismatched eyes finding her new friends silvery one's looking at her with unmasked worry where in another time a playful, lovable smirk would have been found.

The touch of her hand over her shoulder had always been warm..but where she truly found comfort was in the emotions hiding underneath the touch, of the gentleness she held her.

She cared..

She cared so much...even if they had met just a year ago, she cared so much. It spoke so much of what kind of person the pink haired woman was behind her playfulness and the jokes and everything that made her....her. And yet...no words came in that moment to apologize or thank her.

Will she melt too..?

Will she leave her behind too...?

Furinas heart felt frozen as it slowly cracked into pieces as those cruel thoughts passed by in her mind. Ena had said that she was not from Fontaine.....perhaps that meant she was safe from the calamity that was to come. But what if she was wrong..?

Furina bit her lip, doing her absolute best to not let it show the tears that started to threat in her eyes.

"Its...nothing.."

"That did not sound like nothing. But if you are feeling down... well..then maybe I could do something to remediate that"

"Its...kind of you to offer, but don't think you will be able to lift up my spirits..." Furina muttered, wishing for her friend to just forget it...however, for better or for worse the pink haired woman started to make a bunch of gestures and funny noises.

Furina could only shake her head with a pang of amusement. "Please...just stop, the last thing I need is for Neuvillete to come here and question me why you are doing weird things.."

Crucabena looked at her with a puzzled expression that seemed to sour for a brief few seconds before it lighten up again.

"Wow, it really must be that bad if you cant event try to fake mock me. Fine, if that is how its going to be...then I am afraid that I will have to bring out my ultimate weapon, One so effective that will disintegrate your worries and pain away in the blink of an eye.."

She did not know what she meant by that...however before she realized it her friend had taken a knee in-front of her. Still, the woman was almost at her eye level with how tall she was, the way her face was so close to hers was...really distracting though.

"Furina.."

"Eh..?"

Crucabena then grabbed her hand, raising it gently to her kips as she then felt them give a soft kiss to her gloved digits. Her cheeks started to redden with the mother of all flusters.
