The journal shut with a swift movement and was swiped up, shifting to be cradled under Astro's arm. She had been enjoying the last few hours of the world. In its details, it was heaven for her. Not necessarily the playground aspects but the recreation feel was enticing and right up her alley. It was simply the emotions that had messed with her. With the ticking of the countdown, she knew they didn't have much longer, and though she wanted to play more, she had just savored being in the environment. Her back had been pressed up against the skate ramp for hours, feet resting on her board as she leisurely pushed it back and forth, writing in the journal.

Today had been better. At least, when she woke, she had less fear. Eris promised she wasn't going to leave and she knew her Moonbeam would fight tooth and claw to keep that promise if they tried to make her break it. Of course, today had brought concern for her God Mother, of which she hadn't expressed well. She had a feeling she upset Hestia by refusing to answer full on questions of what was going on, but that was a concern for later. For now, she was ready to just retire for the night.

Pushing open the door once she arrived to her and Eris' unit, the journal got tossed lightly onto a nearby surface, before she went looking for Eris. She had assumptions of her own as to what had happened but she had no confirmation yet and she had no way of knowing what to expect, aside from her gut instincts.

"Air," she spoke allowed to announce her presence and aid in finding the woman.

"Ah," was the first thing Astro managed to say when she heard the reply. She knew Eris wouldn't lie. Instead, her eyes dropped to look down at her hoodie that the woman was wearing, as she thought on the moment. What had brought that conversation up? If Hestia had been worried about that, what stopped her from asking sooner?

What had happened?

She drew in a very slow breath. She could sense the emotion in her words and she was not sure how to respond a first. "I didn't realize we were pretending it didn't happen," she said softly, her head turning so she could press the words against the top of Eris' head, allowing her lips to press a faint kiss against her hair once the sentence came to an end.

"Is that...all that happened?" She dared to ask, only because she had been there through all of it. She knew what happened with Remus and Hestia. She knew how it had rippled and effected Bran and Eris, in different ways, and she had a feeling as though something else may have occurred as well.

Eris' eyes darkened, even though Astro couldn't see it. "Of course we were. I didn't want those fuckers to know that, in the end, Remus Lupin doesn't choose the Jones women. Fuck them." She couldn't help the anger that rose inside of her like a cranky, dormant monster woken inside of her. "Guess that's something that's the same whatever world you come from." Her brow furrowed as her fingers tightened momentarily around the other woman's.

The hot, angry tears were threatening to return, but she swallowed them down with a small shake of her head.

"I don't know," Eris replied honestly. "I'm not really even sure what conversation we were having. I definitely hadn't intended on having that one." What had she been meaning to ask and why had it seemed so impossibly important before the big reveal. "I hate this place," she murmured, then, after a few moments.

Astro fell silent at the anger that rose forth from Eris. She had meant in general and thought that was what Eris meant as well. Knowing, instead, that she meant inside the compound, she chose not to argue that point for she couldn't. They had been pretending. And Astro didn't know enough about the other Remus' to comment negatively about whomever they did chose. But she did know her Remus. "You're Dad did chose you," she said quietly. She didn't want to anger her more but she felt it worth saying.

"And they aren't him. They are not even half the man he is," she added after a moment. She didn't understand the Remus' of this world. How they could leap to meet children from one world, nearly clamor all over them, but seem to ignore another. How could they be the Remus she knew? Whom she still loved, and knew Eris loved, regardless of the pain his and Hestia's decision had caused.

"No, I don't suspect you would have intended on it," she then spoke, her eyes glued upon the girl, watching her with deep concern. "I do too," she agreed, instinctively tightening her arms around her as she did.
