You don't know what you're missin' [o, Dimitri return]

[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

is someone else in me,
waiting to break free?

Dimitri's disappearance honestly made Atbash feel bad. He had clearly wanted to be with her and while she held no romantic attraction for him, she probably honestly could have done better in trying to convey her message. It took a lot out of somebody to admit their feelings to another person and Atbash had been put on the spot and honestly had no time to prepare how to properly reply. Unfortunately, her words seemed to cause so much distress in Dimitri that he had hidden away inside his mind. It was horrible, knowing that she was the cause of that, but luckily Dimitri's alters didn't really seem to hold that against her. In fact, they almost seemed aware of the fact that she wasn't attracted to men.

Dimitri hadn't been here whenever Stryker came back and brought The Pitt with him, essentially taking over Snowbound. Atbash was worried that the tom would come back during the takeover and cause him to go more crazy or to hide himself away for a longer period of time. Luckily, though, Dimitri had stayed hidden away but that did mean Snowbound had to deal with Dagon the most. But hey, he helped with the rebellion so he wasn't entirely a prick. What Atbash was worried about, however, was Dimitri's return. She didn't know if the alters shared their memories or how that worked but if he didn't know what happened and saw the wounds and scars that were inflicted upon her... would he go into hiding again?

Atbash happened to exit her cabin just as Dimitri came out of his own and her ears pricked at the sound of the tom's voice. Her heart skipped a beat upon realizing it was Dimitri, not Dagon or Daisy or any other of his alters. It was Dimitri and he looked absolutely confused and concerned over things. Atbash bit her lip slightly before she decided to walk over to the Polarheart, her head hanging low, almost as if she was trying to hide the side of her face that was scarred.

"Dimitri, hey!" The Hailcaller said, trying to sound cheerful. "Welcome back."
