Alpine Lake gone before it ever melts the ice

I've been meaning to update this on Sakari's profile, but she is an experimental character who may be powerplayed within the bounds of her character description as it suits all of the participants in a thread. Feel free to make any assumptions that facilitate the story!

 

Sakari challenged his argument, and he backed down swiftly. It was similar to the fashion in which he had given in during their initial conversation. Sakari wondered if this pattern could be evidence of a conflict within Arashi; a frailty in his self-confidence that caused him to second-guess himself, perhaps. 

Sakari suffered from no such affliction. She knew her mind with certainty. 

"So be it," she echoed, ignoring the bitterness in his voice. They would part ways here, then. 

She might have wished him luck in his search, if she had believed in luck. As it was, she simply nodded curtly before dismissing herself from his company.
