CAUSE EVEN BLOOD WILL RUN, LIKE THE TEARS OF A SAINT !
A familiar face? Even now? What a miracle, something to lift her burden at least a little. Although, seeing Aurum reminded her, even in this state, that she was probably quite old. She would have very much frowned at the realization, and make a comment about how she would break a hip if she still had a hip to break. Then again, if she didn't force out at least one bad joke about breaking what she didn't have while in such a depressing state, would she even really be Arrow?
Honestly, she'd been expecting to be just an echo of the past that no one remembered, even among those she had once called friends. To even hear her name was...surprising. Like hearing something nostalgic after many years had gone by. She looked up from the water, turning her head over her shoulder to the source of the sound that rang in her ears. "In the flesh, although less...flesh." Arrow lifted one of her front paws to wave through her ghostly form, passing through as expected. The leaves beneath her didn't so much as move when she brushed her tail over the ground, as if Aurum didn't have enough reasons to believe he was hallucinating already. But she was there, alright. Intangible, deceased, but there.
Up she went, onto her paws, blinking as she processed how big he had gotten, bigger than before, anyway. "I didn't think anyone would still remember me. Can't say I left behind anything to remember." She closed her eyes, briefly. Even just mentioning the idea of being forgotten to time left her cold, and her face twisted into a subtle pained expression for only a moment before vanishing as if it was never there when she reopened her eyes. "You don't know how relieving it is to see your face again, Aurum."
