Past Mistakes ( Cirno and Masane )

Cirno had left the backstage rather casually despite the video what was being shown, taking a quick shower to cool herself off and inspect her wounds, rubbing her wounded arm, she'll have to put less pressure on it for her next match. She went to her locker door, opening it and starting to get herself dressed, placing the sword against the other locker room door, she had to report to Raiye about Masane's skill, sure the girl and potential as a leader but Cirno's own beliefs abandoned that potentiality of the girl, she will have to beat her some other time and force her to surrender.

And to make it more insulting, Cirno had found Cerbera's last match too soft to deal with the White Gale, obviously they didn't learn from it and they should've stayed disbanded.. No matter, she was going to settle it once and for all once she had recovered.

Masane stepped into the lockers a couple of minutes afterwards. She understood now why this girl was playing for the other team, and now that she knew, she wanted to convince her to come back over. What Cirno didn't know was that not only was she abandoned, but so was everyone else. She had to show Cirno that she, or at least someone of White Gale, would be looking after her now.

She walked down the aisles of lockers, looking for the blue haired girl.

Cirno got dressed in her usual military/skirt outfit, lifting the heavy sword back up and attached it into it's holster, a little pained since she was lifting it with her wounded arm but showing weakness was not something she was going to allow, even if she was alone. She closed her locker door and turned, getting ready to leave.

After turning a corner, she finally found who she was looking for, still dressed in her gi and martial art pants like she always was. "Cirno!" She called out, and started to walk down the aisle towards her, her expression calm and welcoming.

Cirno was only a few steps gone from her original spot when she heard her name, the voice was all too familiar though. Despite never answering her, she still stopped, looking quietly at the wall infront of her while she waited for more words to come from her, she didn't feel like talking to her but she knew even if she walked away, the girl would follow her and she'd be forced to listen.

Masane stepped towards her slowly. "I don't know if it was you that requested to play that on the Titantron, but I understand your situation now. Cirno... our fight may not have lasted long, but I can tell you're a very strong girl. You weren't the only one let down by Seraphim, though. If I had known you, and I had known you were captured, I would've come to rescue you right away. What's past is past though. I can't do anything to change what happened, but I can promise that it will not happen again while I'm leading the group. But I'm not even asking you to come back. I just wish to know you a little better." She said.

Cirno listened but with each word, an anger rose from inside of her untill finally, she grabbed the hilt of her sword, turned around and slashed out at Masane, though there was quite some space between them and it would obviously not even hit her, she did it to warn Masane and make her back off, glaring right into her eyes while her sword hit the ground.

Masane frowned as Cirno swung her sword at her, but she still started to approach her. "If you really think attacking me will make things better, then go right ahead, Cirno." She said, and stepped within range of the next attack, doing nothing to fend for herself.

Cirno followed Masane's advance with her eyes, raising back upon her feet and slowly started to sheath her sword after waiting a while, it seemed like Masane really wanted to make up for something she didn't do, which only resulted Cirno to finally speak and say the following.

" ...You're too weak to lead the White Gale.. Leave now before you regret facing us. "

Masane shook her head when Cirno said that. "That's not something I can do. I'd be abandoning others just like Seraphim abandoned you... Would you really want to wish that on someone else?" She asked.
