As soon as Arthur emerged from the ravine he had carved through the forest, he spotted a familiar trio sitting casually by the edge. Evan was lounging in a chair, his elbow on his knee, chin resting on his palm, looking utterly unbothered.
"Told ya."
Evan's voice rang out as Arthur approached and Beatrix, sitting beside him, raised her brows in surprise.
"Oh wow, it was actually Arthur."
"Indeed, it is I, my fair lady."
Arthur dropped Hibiki, who stumbled slightly, still disoriented from the rapid flight. He then slipped seamlessly into his usual theatrics, bowing dramatically to Beatrix.
"I have missed you so much."
Beatrix quickly caught on, putting on an exaggerated expression of longing.
"I feel the same, my dearest.
Every moment without you has felt like an eternity, and I've longed for your presence for seven endless days and nights."
