~ ☼ It was still so shocking, just how quickly her family had disappeared, right in front of her eyes. First it had been Drifting and Quasar vanishing, then not long after Medusa had died, and just a few weeks ago Rhinestone had disappeared as well, now she hadn't seen Foam in a while, and...and there wasn't anything she could do about it. She was supposed to be a Discens now, strong, tough, on her way to becoming a full-fledged Immune, but she...she didn't feel any less powerless than when she was just a Tirone. She was just glad that Winter had been kind enough to offer her a place in his home, having someone, anyone, around to support her right now, it felt like it made a difference. Things had changed a lot in these past few months, groupmates came and went, but not all of the changes were bad, just...most of them weren't really good.

Approaching the fairly large gathering at their border, Onyx wondered just what she would find there, though she had a feeling she already knew what it was. They hadn't exactly had any visitors in the past months, aside from those that were here to join, but who knew, maybe today she'd be proven wrong! Ruffling her wings a bit to knock off some of her looser scales, the hybrid couldn't help but feel like there was something she was missing here, something about the scent from just ahead that was...familiar. It wasn't easily recognizable, but she knew for sure that this was someone she had met before, and as she passed around the last tree in between herself and the crowd, her eyes locked onto the 'new arrival', and she froze. Memories filtered in, of the cold winter months, back when her language skills were still awful, of a tiger handing out cloaks, the scent of herbs that came with a long time of working as a medic, and of the affection he had shown to Rhinestone. "Hold on...Vaas? Is that you?" It took her longer than she would have liked, to remember his name, and...and this had to be him, it looked exactly like him!
