It had been a while since Lion came back from rescuing his sister from death, and since Karmena tried to delete her own exsistence - As calm as things had been, Karmena still felt like there were a problem between the two that had to be solved. She wasnt going to let their stupid argument cause any more harm than it seemed to have spiraled into. The house that they spent most of their time in, was still going through the renovation and restoration, so what was there was just a bunch of construction tools and other things, and it somewhat had a scary feel to it. It was odd being here when it wasnt anything like she remembered.
She walked around the halls and looked at the walls and old furniture that hadnt been removed yet. He had to be here somewhere. She caught a scent and moved towards it, till she opened a door to a room - A room that would eventually be Vanyas. She exhaled deeply and looked around till she saw him. She narrowed her eyes shortly before she called out for him, "Lionell," she said quietly, but loud enough for him to hear. A sad expression was on her face, she simply couldnt shake the feeling that something unfixable had happened between them. "Why are you here and not at the castle with the others?" she started out asking, it wasnt that Karmena did smalltalk, so it was more a geniune wonder she had voiced.

She raised her eyebrow as he said he wanted to be alone. It seemed reasonable, but she couldnt bring herself to think about all the dust and the mess that this place had. It made her grind her teeth slightly as some dust flew from the wind of a broken window. But before she could even comment on the state of cleaniness, Lion kept talking. She stood there and listened to him, she was quick to realize who he was talking about. Her gaze lowered as she remembered how they fought, the feelings she felt in the moment and how she herself regretted what she had done.
As he asked for her advice, she wet her lips and turned her eyes away as she gave it a thought, even though she had already forgiven him long before this had happened. "I dont think you need to sweat it. I'm sure she has already forgiven you," she then said. It wasnt normal for Karmena to play along with refering to herself in third person, but it was just her way of showing that she was regretting it as well.
She sighed and wrapped her arms around herself. "You were right about some of the things you said though. Guess that was what hurt her. To realize that it wasnt words said in the heat of the moment, but partially the truth," she then explained and lowered her gaze to the floor as she shallowed what seemed like a knot in her throat.
