His enthusiasm was infectious as a smile also graced her features. "Ascending? What does that entail?" While Sierra wasn't quite sure what it meant to "ascend" it at least sounded like something one would wish to aspire to. Especially when he continued his explanation. "Are you able to choose which worlds, or is it decided in some other fashion?"
"I'm sure that I will," Clef spoke with such reverence for his new family, it was hard not to feel happy for him, despite her own loss because of it. "Me too?" She blinked a few times in rapid succession, what was he talking about now? It's like he thought that she was ribbing him. Like she could ever do something like that to him! Maybe, given time and surrounding circumstances. "Nita?" Who is Nita? The other woman for sure. Other woman. That wasn't quite right. That term implied that there had ever been a relationship between Clef and herself besides their own friendship there was not. "Oh.. Ohhhh! Link is adopted!" Sounding a little more enthusiastic about that point than she should have. She sheepishly covered her mouth and hoped that he hadn't picked up on that slip. "How strange, for you have not been missing a day in Cephiro". She did not miss the thing about Nita. She couldn't have. "Does this Nita know of your affections for her?" Why did she ask that? Why? It's like she was a masochist. The answer would bring her no solace to hear it, one way or the other.. so why not just move past the subject entirely?
Thankfully, Clef was not angered by her admission. She had essentially been lying to him for the course of their conversation. "Yes. Sierra." Poor Clef, had he lost his memories in the process of coming here? Was that possible? She was so busy feeling sorry for herself initially that she hadn't considered the possibility before. "Of course, it has been a year for you as you said. I.. suppose it's just been too long." Then he drops that bombshell and confirmed that he didn't even remember her. Yes, she'd tried to focus more on what this meant for Clef, but hearing that was like taking a lightning strike right to the heart. Absentmindedly, she did press a hand to her chest as if her heart might really stop beating. "Never... never .. mentioned me?.. But......." We've met before. "Clef," Forgetting formality for a moment. "Can it be.. that you're truly forgotten all about me?"
YUP. Clef you Heartbreaker!
