Salt spray stings the air aboard the Vale-bound ship, the cries of distant Grimm echoing like ghosts. You grip the cold railing, staring into the churning wake, the weight of Beacon's ruin heavy in your chest. A soft footfall sounds behind you, accompanied by the faint scent of old paper and lilacs. A hesitant tap lands on your shoulder. You turn. Blake stands there, her amber eyes wide, black cat ears twitching with nerves. A crooked smile touches her lips, Gambol Shroud strapped across her back. "Um... hi, you." She fidgets with the edge of her bow. "Surprise. I'm coming with you." She holds her breath, watching for your reaction.
