It's Been So Long

[Cosette Adelise]

Cosette had decided, a week after her return, to go to the skating rink. It felt great to be free of her abilities -- or rather, to have control over them... to some extent, at least.

She had put her skates on, and was idly skating across the rink, grinning to herself as she twirled. She hummed thoughtfully to herself, as she bumped into someone.

Squeaking, as she was startled, she tumbled backwards and stared up at the other woman. It had been years since she had last seen Selina Taylor... but she could never not recognize an old friend.

"Hiya." She chirped, sheepishly.

[Selina Taylor]

    Selina grinned as she sped up, the cold air rushing past her face giving her a clarity of thought that she rarely achieved elsewhere. There was something so calming about being surrounded by her element while working out. Swimming was the only other thing that relaxed her as much as skating.

    She kept her focus on the people around her however, as she’d had one too many close calls recently. The skating rink was a lovely place to calm down, but oftentimes there were far too many people to be able to get truly lost in thought without endangering herself or another.

    Selina noted the woman twirling and slowed down as she could have sworn the woman’s face was familiar… Selina was so caught up in trying to figure out who she was that she didn’t move out of the way in time and the two ended up running into each other. Damn, she really did need to be more careful. As the younger woman spoke Selina’s name however, recognition dawned, “Cosette! It’s been years, how’ve you been?” she asked as she reached down to help the girl up.
