"With that done... she'll be on the right track. Hopefully..."
Crona mumbled this to herself as a single kakera crystal began to lose it's radiance, probably from her usage of it. Around this time, someone happened to walk right into the room without knocking the door, but this didn't really annoy Crona that much. She knew who it was.
"Oh, Neo, I suppose you're done exploring the place as you liked?"
The Witch of Time would rise from her chair, putting the inactive Kakera onto the desk as she turned her attention to the pink and brown-haired woman.
Just as expected, Neo didn't really talk much, using her Scroll instead to type out what she would say and showing it for the Witch to read.
It's been quite the sight-seeing I was looking for. It's no wonder on why being a part of a Murder Game was quite the experience at the time.
Even though Crona didn't really approve of the Murder Games, she could somewhat appreciate the attitude that Neo had when it came to those events. Sometimes when the times get rough, someone has to keep a rather leveled and optimistic view on it. Neo's interest in the multiverse was one of the reasons why the Witch took this individual around... and why it was easy to trust Neo. It wasn't going to be a permanent partnership, but she took notice of how Neo actually rejected the recruitment request to the Blood Institute... the very organization that she was hoping to stop.
"Well, I'm glad that you found the enjoyment of seeing what there is to see outside your own world... but is there something else you want to tell me about?"
Yes. I'll wish to go back to my own world. I'll admit, the thrill of exploring the multiverse and combating some threats was fun, but I do have my own business to take care of. I have a certain partner-in-crime to tag along with, and I don't want to keep him waiting.
Crona was suddenly surprised by this request by Neo. It was a simple request, but something about the reasoning for this request surprised her. When she first met Neo on the day that a certain leader of the Blood Institute would try and kill her, Crona saw Neo as the type to do whatever she pleases, all out of her own interests. Majority of her interests didn't seem to involve anyone but herself, but now... this would be the first that she would hear that Neo did have someone to hold up her interests with. Despite being the Witch of Time, Crona did not dig deep into the private matters of those that she observes, unlike a certain deceased Witch of Miracles.
"Well, then I'll give you that request now, Neo. I'll respect that. However, if something happens to go wrong on a greater scale... feel free to call upon my help. Think of it as a souvenir and gift from the Witch of Time herself... but keep it concealed, secret from the eyes of the unaware."
Like a curious child, Neo eyed the blue crystal Crona was handing her... her own Kakera. Unlike most other pieces of Kakera, it was directly linked to Crona herself, meaning that it is always guaranteed to either call upon her help or to lend her Time Magic if needed. Stashing the Kakera away into her pockets, Neo gave the Witch a firm nod, a way of showing thanks to the person that give her this opportunity to see the multiverse as it is. At this time, Crona crafted a dimensional portal that would lead into the quiet parts of Vale.
"Go ahead, you have your things to do now. I'll look forward to when the time decides for us to meet again."
With those parting words, Neo gave the Witch a smile and a wave before walking through the portal.
