"I understand. I think spending time with you is fun, too." She responds, following the trail alongside him at a slow but consistent pace. "You're a good friend, Thorfinn. Maybe after this, we can hang out more doing things that don't involve killing monsters."
"I... I don't..." She trails off, seeming shocked. Her hand drifts away from her sheath and moves to hold the old-looking watch on her other wrist. "What happened to you?.." She mutters to herself, before focusing again, a solemn expression on her face. "Could you point me in the right direction, then? I promise- I swear on my life- that I won't do anything to hurt her or you."
If he could take physical damage from being called a friend he would, but he tries to hide his wines, "Maybe, but like you said, I need to rest, recover, recuperate, other words that suggest I should take a nap." He says, making a small chuckle.
He takes a deep breath, though entirely unnecessary and points them in the direction of the warehouse "If they are not there, they are over in that direction." He points to the direction that leads to the Fair "I will be watching, you will know, and if I see fit, you wont be able to stop me." He steps back into the shadows, disappearing again.
*Apologies for the delay*
She chuckles a bit as well, once again either not noticing his wincing or assuming it's related to his injuries- it's hard to tell which it is. "Good idea. The sooner we find this Rath, the sooner we can head back and relax." She responds, continuing to pursue its trail- she's getting quite good at that.
"We can agree to disagree on that." She retorts. "Thank you." Corvi heads over to the warehouse, knocking on the door and waiting a few seconds. No response. She tries to open the door, but the myriad locks and chains stop it from moving. She notices the open window, clambering up to it with impressive swiftness and entering the building, her footfalls echoing throughout the building as she looks for her old friend. They aren't there, but KK is.
The Architect stops, tuning out of the radio signal she was listening to as she stands up from in front of her easel. As she turns to face the intruder and takes a step out of the shadows, Corvi staggers back in surprise and fear, audibly gasping at the sight of what her old friend has become. KK looks at them silently for what feels like ages, her mask's painted eyes giving no hint as to what she is thinking, before she recognizes them. "...Corvi?"

*Don't sorry, happy you're here.*
He tries to keep up with her more than anything else, ready to encounter the beast when it comes, proud of how far his friend as made it, muttering about something to himself until they reach a clearing, where the Blue Rath sits, flames bubbling within it's maw.
Henry watches from the shadows, becoming virtually undetectable, knowing he has to put actual effort into hiding himself now that he knows Corvi can sense him. He makes sure KK knows he's here, but stays out of the reunion, even the whites of his teeth disappear, watching and hoping things go better than he expects them to.

She prepares to strike, stealthily creeping through the undergrowth with her Gunlance primed, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
The two are silent for a while again, before KK approaches her a bit more. "It's been so long... how did you find-" "What happened to you?"Corvi stammers, her voice wavering slightly. She takes a step back as the Architect approaches- they can tell Corvi's scared of her. "A lot of things. Most of them I wanted. It's a really long story- a lot happened after..." She trails off. "It's good to see you again." Silence. "You... you chose to become this?" She mutters, wanting to not believe it to be true."Kiko, I- I'm worried about you. Why would you do this to your-" "Please, don't call me Kiko." She interrupts. "As for why... well, I wanted to improve my art. Create something new- doodling in the corners of notebooks was fun, but I wanted to make something I was truly proud of... so, I became my own canvas." "...That's all it is to you? Art? You made yourself into a monster... for art?" KK's mask shifts to a frowning face. "...You think I'm a monster?" Silence again.

Henry restrains himself from shattering her neck for calling his wife a monster, his skin beginning to bubble with his rage, becoming able to be heard, though not from where exactly. He decides to take a moment to interject "You came here looking for the friend you had a long time ago, people change, accept that, and support your friend if you really are their friend."

But she remains calm. KK speaks again. "...Why did you come looking for me?" "I... I-" "Corvi, it's been... decades now... have you been trying to find me this whole time?" "...Yes... I was hoping that-" "That I'd stay the same?.." Silence.
