"Death and rebirth, it seems, does have its advantages." She sighs, then, and wishes she had a chair. Or a pillow. Something to flop on. "Not that you're any stranger to that phenomenon. Ever were you the more reckless one." Now that's an arguable point if ever there was one. She looks around at the titanic buildings, a sharp pang of nostalgia passing briefly through her before she returns her gaze to Hades. "Gods, I feel like a gnat among giants here."

And yet those words... He frowns, unsure what to make of them, after his initial reaction to return the banter is passed. He has to know, he has to ask - "And how much do you remember, on this day, in this place?"
"Alas that I missed that, then. I'm sure you made quite the fetching popoto."
Ah, now that's the question, isn't it? "Fragments. Not enough to be entirely certain of anything - but enough to move forward with. I'm certain some of it is yet being blocked from me." And just as certain that she is not entirely free of Hydaelyn's influence, even now. Balancing her aether may have given her some room to breathe, but it certainly won't prevent what she now knows to be tempering from subverting her will. "I remember leaving the Convocation, and bringing forth Hydaelyn. The chaos that enveloped our world before, also. But... nothing after."
