Amytis inhaled, and bounced from the roof she was on to the one next to it, and then she spun around. It felt so good to be back out in the city, to be free and whole and still Chaos. Her black feathered wingbows were a comforting weight at her hip, and she reached back, pulling out a feather and turning it over in her hands.
It felt so right, to be still a part of the Mirror. This was, and always had been, where she belonged.
She took another leap, and spotted a familiar face, and she grinned.
"Captain Fangite? Is that you?"

"Your uniform has changed since I last saw you." He said in lieu of greeting, eyeing the black wings with interest. "I take it things went well after our last talk??"

Amytis gave Fangite a broad, delighted smile. "It has!" She said, and she spun around because she was proud of what she had become, and she wanted to show it off. She sobered, slightly, when he mentioned their previous discussion.
"And...yes. I came to an understanding, for myself." She said. "I figured out what I wanted. And this," she gestured at her outfit, still Mirror-black, "is what I wanted."

"So what happened between then and now? You were still so... against it all back then. Unsure of what to do to even start." He crossed his arms and eyed her uniform, contemplating. "Let me ask you something... What is it you wanted? Remember that this-" He poked at the girls bodice lightly. "Is just a color. Did you choose based on who you are? Or did what you are, or what you would have become, influence you?"

Amtis tilted her head to the side and thought about exactly how to describe what had happened, that made her change her mind. It was difficult to explain in any way that didn't sound blithe and dismissive, but she could give him something.
"I thought about things, a lot. Talked to some people. Kind of...made myself realize that I could be everything I wanted to be without having to leave the Court." She gave a slightly amused smile. "You could say I had a good talk with myself about what I wanted to be."
Which was pretty literal, really.

It couldn't have been as simple as talking to ones self about if they wanted to turn or not... Could it?
"And here I thought you'd have some grand tale of how it all went down, when we met next." He sighed, tone teasing. "Silly me." Fangite faked another dramatic sigh and waved his hand for effect. "Well I suppose it worked out in the end though. You're sure that you're happy with your choice?" Not that she should let the color of some wings decide things. "Was it hard? Figuring what you wanted to do."

Amytis laughed. "I could tell you the whole story? It's just a little bit long." She said, but she could admit that she wanted to tell it, to narrate her dramatic descent into Mirrorspace and explain exactly how it had all happened.
"I'm sure. I'm very, very sure." She thought of her friends, and of her family, who had been so glad to see her alright after she'd gone radio silent on them with no explanation.
"I mean...it wasn't easy." She took a breath. "I went into Mirrorspace - that's our safe haven, kind of - with the intent to purify. To do it, we have to find...it's called a mirrorseal, like a copy of our starseed that's held in Mirrorspace, that binds us to it and makes us what we are." She swallowed. "There was a double of me there, waiting for me. And she challenged me. Asked me why I was leaving. Told me that I was only doing it because I was scared, and that I didn't have to run away to be who I needed to be."
She glanced away.
"The floor cracked out from under me and...I was lost, for I'm not sure how long? Time gets wonky, in those between places." She shrugged. "I had a lot of time alone to reflect. To remember who and what mattered to me. And to realize that my double was right. I didn't have to run. I can be everything I want to be within the Court. And I'm...happy. About that. Very, very happy."

Fangite snorted. "I wouldn't have asked, if I didn't want to know you know." The Captain shrugged. "I've got time. Nowhere else to go."
Fangite listened intently, only stopping her with a question occasionally, just to clarify things. By the end of it, he was fixing the girl with a dumb stare. "What do you mean there was a double you? Like those doubles that plagued the city a few years back?" He cringed thinking about them. "Those things were brutal... Can't imagine having to fight them a second time."
"I never want to go to this place." Fangite said flatly, making a face as if disgusted. "Dopplegangers, floors trying to eat you, time distortion... Like, no offense but why would you wanna go in there???" Though I suppose the same could be said about Agents... They had the Rift. One wrong move and there were dead. A familiar concept...
"I'm happy that you figured out what you wanted to do. I know it was really bothering you last time we met." Fangite just hoped, that for her sake, it was the right choice. She'd have to fight, to prove it.
Noir Songbird I just need like 100 words. So one more post and I should be good?

Amytis shook her head at the mention of the doubles from years back, clearly alarmed. "Oh, no, not like that at all! She didn't try to kill me, or hurt me at all, she just...talked." She said, and she looked more than a little embarrassed at the comparison.
"It's not usually like that! Mirrorspace is actually very safe, it provides for us and gives us a place to retreat to when things go badly, it's just..." She shrugged her shoulders. "Chaos, you know? It's never totally safe."
But she gave him a smile, and reached up to run her index finger and her thumb over the veil that sat lightly on her head. "I'm where I belong. I know that now. I was silly to ever think I needed to be anywhere else."
