He'd known that they had chosen the same door as he, in his heart, but it was still an immense relief to see them with his own eyes. Riley was running to him first, and it made him smile despite everything. His arms opened to welcome her, and embraced her as soon as she reached him.
"I'm here," he assured her softly, cheek resting against her hair. "Burdened with more memories..." It seemed unfair to word it in such a way, but he did nonetheless. "And voices in my head, it would seem."
The white knight grinned to Jason, too, unwinding an arm from around Riley to return the man's gesture. "I'm happy to see you alive, too."
Being physically and emotionally battered from the events before this moment in time were still not as bad as not being alive at all.

"We should attack."
But first, Noemi shifted her way out of Milo's embrace, leading the man over to Riley.
She had something important to tell the woman, before, as if Milo would say, the end would come.
And if the end did come, Riley should know.
"Riley!" The girl called out, coming closer to the pair of knights. "hello Jason, I just...before I keep going. I wanted you to know Riley...That you were the reason I tried so hard to become a knight." She smiled warmly at the woman.
"Because...I watched you. You are strong."
And so she nodded. "Stay safe, stay strong." Noemi held out her hand, expecting a knight's oath.

He nodded as he fired off another arrow, making sure there wasn't enough force behind the projectile to pierce Merlin's shadowy hide. Whatever his decisions ended up being, the preservation of life was still the belief that fueled them.
He simply was learning to be pickier about who deserved it.
"Then you still have it?" Jack asked.

"No one is takin' it," she said again. She would repeat it as many times as it rang in her head and as many times as it took to clench her fists into angry balls.

She didn't catch the weight in his voice when he told her he was burdened, because she distracted herself with relief that she was not alone. "And I as well. Painful timing, to be honest. I will accept the consequences, because it means we are together again."
She curled herself under the arm that remained around her, as if to lose herself in his embrace even while he hugged Jason. Merlin was back in her line of sight, but her expression looked distant, and distracted.
"I did not strike another great knight until this moment," She admitted, staring at his horrible form. "But I think this can be safely considered no longer a Great Knight."
He'd become more like the monsters she'd become so good at cutting down, instead. Mal hungered to strike once more, but she held back, selfishly soaking in Yuki's warmth now that he'd returned to her. It was good timing, then, that Noemi chose then to come to her. She needed Yuki's arms around her for this moment.
Riley's expression pinched with a pain she'd never felt before. She raked over Noemi's features, suddenly finding the hint of similarities in the curve of her eyes, or the way her soft mouth twisted up in that innocent smile. She wondered which of them looked more like their mother, and which looked more like their father.
She wondered if Noemi had any recollection of them, at all.
Riley's hand reached out, cupping Noemi's face gently. There was no hesitation, no flinch, no pain.
"Stay safe." She repeated, her throat closing up with pain. It made the rest of her words haggard, to say the least. "You were my reason, as well."

"Good." He was surprised by the relief in his own voice.
Lowering his bow, he turned to her. "If there's a chance I can..." He didn't know why he was hesitant now. "I no longer wish to be king's pawn," he tried again. "If I'm to die still, I'd rather it be while against him, whatever loyalty is forced upon me."

Though Jason as well could recall things from his past, snippets of a life he had once lead, he would gladly shoulder their weight. For there were people in them that he could't bear to forget again, no matter how much it pained him now.
Plus, he had people here now that he knew would help him to bear it all. And he would too, help to shoulder their pain.
"It does feel good to be alive, doesn't it?" He laughed. Because it was the best feeling in the world as far as he was concerned. He then looked at Merlin too, frowning at the sight. "I wonder if he was ever a Great Knight in the first place." He had no qualms about striking a man who was capable of such gruesomeness
When Noemi approached he turned towards her with a warm smile. "Hello Noemi. I'm glad to see you are well." He then stepped back and kept quiet to allow the two girls to speak to once another, thinking that they must have been close.

Inside his head, he heard a grunt of a 'finally' under a baited breath. Both of them seemed to pleased with the red head's response, each for their own reason. But only one of them didn't seem to mind in the least when they were pulled elsewhere.
"Aa! Jason, it is great to see you are well," Milo greeted when he spotted the group they had joined with. Then he fell silent, watching the two women have their moment. His green gaze shifted between the two a few times, a brow raised. There was.. something.. or maybe just his imagination.
Once it seemed they were possibly done, "An influence! It is a pleasure you meet you Miss Riley," he smiled widely and passed a nod towards Yuki.

"S'brave of you," was the least she could offer up. She couldn't say anything like "I'll make sure you'll live" or "You don't have to be," because neither were things she could promise. For all she knew, Merlin was going to turn on her too. The only promise she had was that it would be for the right reasons.
She lowered her claymore for a moment and put her hand on Jack's arm. She didn't look at him, but she told him, "I was wrong. Earlier, I mean. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that." Now she turned to look him in the eyes, to be sincere. "And I'm sorry I'm not the person you wanted me to be."

It was hard to say something in that moment.
It was warming to know that Riley had gotten over her aversion and fear of touching. Perhaps due to the influences of Jason...and perhaps due to the one she looked at. Yuki? she didn't know the long haired white knight's name. But he was a far better choice then Kostya, which admittedly, Noemi had been way off before.
Her heart warmed further when she would look up into Riley's eyes, and she would see the same look her father would give her. Patient and gentle and soft. She could only clutch a little tighter to the robes, her whole body seizing for a moment as if a great clarity she was just within reach was there.
"You remind me of my papa and mama." They were childish words, as she had been a child when they spoke. "I can't remember them that well...but Papa, he looked a lot like you. The same color of hair. And the same color of eyes....But mama, she was like us. She was...." Pretty and tall just like Riley. Hardened by the world and what she desired from it.
Like us...
She had no family besides Milo. Right?
Her parents never spoke of anyone...or had they?
It....couldn't be possible. The silence drew longer as Noemi's face changed from confusion, to nervousness, to anxious, to terribly confused again.
"Why....Why me?" Was all she could ask. What did Riley mean?

Damage to Merlin: 146 ATTACKING 1/3 After walking out from the 'door' in his mind, Reith got momentarily stunned-
Even behind the eyepatch, the Tainted eye seems unrestrained. He can see 'what' lies beyond everything. He can see the ruined castle AND a castle full of life, laughter, and people.
[{Beyond the Horizon}. It is your curse, and your gift. To see things hidden from others, to see what happened in the different 'here'.] said Shinonome...no, Asanagi to him telepathically.
"Then, this is not needed anymore, yes?" he grabbed the eyepatch and thrown it away. For he now sees the true reality of this world.
"Now, we have an adversary to mince!" shouted Reith, brandishing the crimson-gold nodachi.

His body's out of strength to swing. Her blade starts cracking everywhere.
This is the end for both of their vigor. Did they played a great role in this tale? Will their story be passed down to the citizens of the new Kingdom?
Reith-and Asanagi could only hope, as they missed the last swing and passed out.

Together again.
"Indeed... I'm relieved you're both safe."
His smile did not waver, even if there was a soft sadness in his eyes. There were memories he needed to share with her. To know - no, remember - the things that he did, it would be wrong of him not to tell her. Though, while his heart ached for his loss all over again, she had helped mend it. Yuki also knew, in his heart, that to ignore the bond that they had made would be wrong. They were alive... He wouldn't have wanted his wife to close herself away from finding another if the positions were switched. He would have wanted her to find someone to protect her, just as he wanted to do now for Riley. Surely she would understand... Yuki couldn't help but fret about it, actually.
He might have pulled her a little closer against him as she shifted, as if afraid she might pull away. There was no reason for him to worry about that; she wasn't going anywhere.
With her own admittance toward violence, Yuki could only agree with her clarification. "Merlin is not a Great anything... Lancelot..." And he didn't say anything after that, because the fact that his memories of the latter mentioned Great Knight stirred had his throat tightening.
Merlin had caused that. Forced them to take Lancelot's life. Forced Yuki to have part in killing the man who had saved him.
Yuki's attention shifted to Noemi as the girl approached, silently thankful for the conversation to fall on the shoulders of others. Quietly, his hug on Jason released. His embrace on Riley returned as it should have, his head coming to rest on her shoulder, and he held her like a lifeline while he focused on pushing away crippling thoughts.
