...

[ Gareth took in a deep breath, sighing, shifting in place for a moment. ]

Well... I obviously know who you are. I've read the play that Euripides wrote about you. I met you in Chaldea.

[ And another version of her, more in line with the Argonautica, but she... figured that was best not to be brought up just yet. ]

I kept all of that to myself, out of respect for your identity, but I suppose that's also why... I didn't believe you were just a wicked woman, and hadn't since the beginning. We weren't at all close in Chaldea, but I still gave you the same trust I gave any comrade in arms.

[colchismagecraft]

[Medea, thus far, had avoided learning of Medea Lily's existence- she'd probably die on the inside the second she found out.]

...So you really did know who I was from the start. I appreciate you respecting my wishes, all the same.

I don't know what the 'me' of Chaldea was like, so I don't know what she experienced, or how alike she and I were, but- was she summoned by your Master, also?

If...if you have no objections, I would like us to remain- to remain friends.

[beaumains]

I've no objections at all... I will not forsake this friendship, upon my honor as a knight... but also because of who I am.

[ The person that, by now, Medea would have realized was a pillar of steel when it came to her resolve, despite her small stature. ]

However similar you were to that Medea I met, you are the Medea I know. And that's all that matters.

[colchismagecraft]

[Gareth- full of resolve, loyal, and Medea- known for her betrayal- she couldn't help but feel she was being a little unfair, holding onto the knight so tightly.

...There was part of her, though, that thought Gareth was not unlike her younger self. A girl who had been fiercely devoted to her family, who would give everything so that her loved ones might feel less pain.

Ngh...that was a strange thought. She pushed it aside for now.]

...I see. Then, thank you.

[A small, tired smile. For now, she still had Gareth as an ally to stand by her side. That was something she was grateful for.]
