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

[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

is someone else in me,
waiting to break free?

What happened? Atbash wasn't sure if she wanted to answer that truthfully. The last time she answered something so bluntly was when he asked her out, and he responded terribly to it. Atbash didn't want Dimitri to disappear again; as much as she enjoyed some of his alters, such as Daisy, but others - like Dagon - not so much. But none of them beat the original, their host. Atbash opened her mouth to respond to Dimitri's question, just as Nui came hopping over, blurting out what happened to Snowbound.

The she-cat quickly shut her mouth, biting her lip slightly as Nui briefly explained the events that Dimitri missed. It appeared like he didn't get the memories of his alters, which was strange, but again, honestly Atbash was glad. It meant he wasn't aware of anything that was going on. The downside to that, though, was explaining what happened once he returned. And that day was today, apparently. "N-nobody was seriously hurt." Atbash added quickly to Nui's words, catching the other female's sly gaze for a heartbeat before she looked back over to Dimitri. Other than myself. She added slightly. It was hard to hide the injuries she bore from Stryker; after all, he had tore out one of her eyes. "I-I mean, none of your alters were. Daisy especially was not harmed." Honestly, if any of the Pittians harmed the child, Atbash personally probably would have slaughtered them. Er... attack them at the very least. Murder was something the she-cat likely wouldn't do.

That actually brought up an important question; if one of his alters died, could he feel it? Could they even die? As much as Atbash wanted to know the answers, the Hailcaller decided it was best to leave it. Now wasn't the time to ask that, especially given the weight of the news of what happened to Snowbound. Maybe she could ask another day.
