[ she doesn't feel young. she doesn't feel like anything - she feels less like anyone than she has in months. and she doesn't exactly feel like telling him that this is probably as old as she's going to get. Her demeanor remains muted. ]
Technically, I'm a Mechon, so I don't have any age at all.
[The dim light from the PHS casts a small glow around it. The waterfall is quiet, save for the sound of rushing water. Her words settle and Rufus speaks.]
[ that's news to her -- obviously, he looks young, but she knows better than to assume that means he is. A few sharp retorts come to mind - I can tell being one of them - but she doesn't feel much like teasing him. ]
... You must have a really long life ahead of you, then.
[ but he'd asked her why she wouldn't. is that his way of saying that he doesn't mind she's here with him? he's so hard to interpret sometimes... Fiora hums, looking back out at the waterfall. ]
I can't tell if you're a really complicated guy, or if you're actually really simple, and I'm just overthinking things. [ a beat. ] I met up with the other Swans - all of them, together.
We shared what we knew, mostly. Most of it was what we already knew, but...
[ hmmm. should she share with Rufus, even though he's not part of the team? yes, she decides. ]
Did you know about the flashing icons? When someone on your team kills someone, the icon of their animal flashes, and your leader gets information about the Realm.
... I don't know whether I should hope it's true or false. Of course, those people that died - they didn't deserve it. But taking someone else's life in exchange...

[But he does think about why Fiora said that. He has a feeling, and he chooses not to pursue it.]

Restoring is a life isn't cheap. The cost for such a possibility was always bound to be heavy.
