[ Those are the sound of firm footsteps you're hearing. Footsteps that suit the steady movement of his stride, of the straight-backed and confident posture belonging to the one stepping down a stone-laden path of the City. Who could it possibly be? A new arrival? But how strange that a new arrival would be so unperturbed by the atypical sight around him. ]

Well, I didn't think I would end up here again.

[ A minute's pause for thought as he continues his journey; a definite destination leading his steps. ]

Not that I ever expected to land in the City the first time.

I didn't even leave to begin with, I--

And yes, yes you are different, very different, in fact so different that it's downright confusing.

[shiningdown.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's what I said. You were the only one! Why, I've no idea but then---

[shiningdown.livejournal.com]

You didn't leave to begin with, and that's why it all makes sense.

[ Back to the old, it appears. ]

I'm really not that different. A change in hair for disguise and new clothes. You've probably just forgotten how I'm like.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

And yes, careful of leaving. That's it.

[ Of course not. ]

Believe what you want, Yvaine. I won't attempt to change your opinions.

[ The name Victoria catches his breath. He nearly forgot. ]

You're perfectly safe from where I'm from. I can assure you there's no heart missing from your chest, nor will it ever be. [ The last words are lined with a steel edge. ] That's all I can tell you, however.

[ well fine when all else fails, revert to... ]

I didn't forget! You going back and changing isn't something I've ever known, much less could forget, and besides, I wouldn't.

[ yes, revert to arguing ]

Still...that's...a relief to hear.

[ but she notes he does not mention having gotten RID of the witch yet either ]
