I lend everyone my ear, but nobody my heart
and I sure would like to change that, but I don't know where to start

Glancing down as her own ice shards join those of the icicles down below to a chorus of grumbling, Hotaru merely grins, unrepentant. "But they'll be dead at least, so who cares?" Certainly not the Valkyrie. Ice will melt, they can grumble and grunt all they desire from far at her feet.
Watching Deimos torture the cloud spiders in a miniature tornado, Hotaru lends her own hand - or rather, magic - to the mix. Electricity amassing in his vortex to fry and crumple every misplaced, unfortunate beast. Her oldest magic, it's as easy to her as breathing; conveniently, that means they can just as easily hold a conversation. "It was..." she finds herself at a loss for words, so instead she lets the bond open so he can feel the change in her for himself. Peace, happiness, hope, and something electric and avaricious that is purely Hotaru. Something she'd lost for longer than all those other emotions. "Amazing. Really amazing." Though she does grimace slightly, if dramatically. "An unfortunate - and I'm sure intentional - collection of individuals though." Not that she would ever expect anything different from Flora.
