Married? Nel nearly repeated in surprise. They'd guessed at more than simply travel companions but all the way to marriage? The Saix she'd met hadn't seemed the type, brief as their encounter had been. Even didn't seem the type either, somehow. He was a little prissy, more than a little acerbic. He was the sort of person that would probably get on your nerves with prolonged exposure. Certainly not someone that someone who looked like Saix, and she had to admit, that one was young and prettier than a man had any right to be, would choose to hook up with for life.

The surprise still showed on her face as she sat down, swallowing her incredulity.

Emotions they hadn't had in a long time. She wondered at that, too. Marluxia had mentioned something, when he'd been new to the clan, something to Aizen, about the price of reaching other worlds. He'd made it sound like a warning, like the price was too high, that it had stripped them of something inherent.

"So you split up?" She asked, instead. There would be time for those questions later, right now Even had things he probably needed to get off his chest. It sounded like he'd been holding onto it for a long time.
