"Sure, a little treasure hunt could be fun. And maybe I'll be able to tell you about some of the places that items belong to. If I remember I mean. I'm not sure how that works."
He hadn't immediately tugged the trinket away from her when she'd reached for it the first time, as she was afraid he might have. So she took that as an invitation to try again, her fingers brushing against his as they pressed on the locket once more.
She hadn't really done anything more than touch it alongside Snowball's fingers when suddenly the little locket popped open, housing a tiny and ancient picture of the two of them. Blinking in surprise Polaris leaned in curiously.
What exactly had they stumbled across?

"Yeah, a treasure hunt could be fun, maybe we'll find something useful . . ." He said softly agreeing with her, though it was hard to tell if it was just answer her or if he meant it at the moment.
Snowball's tail fluffed when the trinket popped open. Apparently that's all it took to really open the silly little locket. His eyes narrowed at it as he looked at the picture. His nose wrinkled a little, as he looked at the two of them, it looked like she was happy. Though he couldn't tell for sure, he looked up at her curiously.
"Any ideas?"

"Ideas for what...?" She asked, a look of confusion on her face. But her fingers touched the small locket once more, as if hoping it would tell her whatever Snowball was asking about.
Withdrawing her hand, she tapped her cheek thoughtfully, looking at it through the dim candle light. "I can't remember much about it. Though with the shortness of this chain... I wonder if it wasn't yours?"
"We could always.. take it home with us? Maybe something will come to me eventually?"

Snowball paused as she asked ideas for what and then mentioned she thought it might be his and that they could take it home with them. . . "You don't really get visions when you guys are anywhere else." He pointed out sounding a little disappointed.
"I was just hoping maybe we could've figured out how I got it or something." He shrugged softly and slipped it away in subspace. He'd take it with him and deal with it later.
He stood up and looked around the room, "We should probably get back to doing what we came here to do . . . ." He finally said, as he looked around the room again wondering how far away from hers it was. He picked up the candle to peek outside the door. . . or what he assumed was the door the hallway hoping he hadn't actually picked a closet door. . .
Thankfully nothing cascaded down on him as he peeked out.

She was going to try again after his insistance. To see if she could search for the memory he wanted now that she knew what that was. Before before she could reach for the small locket again it was suddenly gone, tucked away in his subspace.
The suggestion to get back to work was met with a soft nod. They had already found something for her for the wedding, so that just left checking over the room to see what kind of repairs it needed if any.
"I'll go start by checking the windows and stuff.. make sure there aren't any cold drafts getting in." Polaris stated as she headed back towards the closet door she'd entered the room through. Somehow, by the grace of everything holy, she managed to hold in her shaky sigh until she returned to her own room.
This was supposed to be a fun thing for them. A special time for the two of them to bond and spend time together. How had it gone so terribly awry? What if she couldn't fix the rift she'd unintentionally created?
Polaris was silent as she refolded the white cloak and carefully laid it in it's trunk again, and then began to walk around the room, only half paying attention to what she was supposed to. Fixing a room hardly seemed worth doing. Not when there was something so much bigger to fix.

Snowball nodded and eventually followed Polaris out into her room again. While she might've been paying half attention Snowball was going over everything with a fine tooth comb. He had work to do despite not feeling very . . . up to it anymore.
He stretched a little and while he might've been acting a little childish over the whole look she'd given him the cat couldn't really help it. He'd speak to her, go over things but there seemed to still be a slightly weird tension about him.
He eventually stopped at some point having made a fairly long list of stuff for him to do, his eyes half lidded as he looked around the room. "I'm Hungry." He finally said, realizing that in his sulking and trying to work to take his mind off of it he actually had become pretty hungry, as his stomach echoed his words with a growl.
He eventually sat down on the floor looking up at Polaris not wanting to ask if they could eat but still . . . his thoughts traveled to all the work. "I wish I could come up here when I wanted so I could work on all of this. . ." He muttered, despite the strained feelings between them he still wanted to do this for her. . . maybe he could make up for what he'd done in the past? He also kind of hoped maybe he could find his own memories if he could just come up here and search . . . or something his ears twitched he wasn't really sure. His gaze slowly moved from her expecting food to the floor as he waited gazing off into space and thoughts surely they could work some more and then go home or something he wasn't even sure.

As one of the more interior rooms the room had remained fairly stable, the only place not fully sealed from the cold wilderness outside the large doors and windows that resided on the far wall and lead out to the large balcony. As she neared she could hear the very soft whistle of the little bit of air escaping through, the subtle temperature shift as a little bit of cold was able to leak in. It seemed like something that should be easy enough to fix however - whether permanently or just with cloth pressed against the loose edges. As it was the fire went a long way to combat the minor leak and keep the room comfortable.
Snowball's words startled her mildly when they sounded matter of factly, and she nodded softly, turning around to make her way towards the table. It only took a few moments of digging through the sachel to dig out the sandwiches, thermos' of homemade soup, and cookies she'd brought along, arranging them all on the table. Setting two make shift spots with the napkins and spoons she'd brought along, she settled into one of the chairs. "Here you are, dig in."
Her head nodded gently when his wish sounded, wishing herself that it was something she could deliver to him. After all, even if he couldn't remember things like she or the knights could... it didn't mean that this wasn't just as much his home as it was theirs. He'd spent his life here, sacrificed and pledged his life to this star and people. She really, genuinely, wished that he could come here on his own.. and remember things in the way they did.
Sneaking a soft glance at her Mauvian and friend as they ate, she did her best not to sigh at the tension and silence. "I know it's not the same. But if you ever want to come here alone I don't mind bringing you and then leaving." It didn't take that much energy to travel here. And perhaps with his phone he could travel back home on his own?
Maybe he'd be able to find something himself if he explored this place. Something she was unable to offer him herself.
