Its been a while, hasn't it?

-Hakku wondered into the labyrinth before Maze's abode, pondering why she hasn't seen him in such a long time. She knew that all labyrinths ended, despite how long they may be, so she began to trod through it in an attempt to meet Maze.-

*Maze was in his study reading a most 'unique' book when he felt a familiar prescience in his labyrinth. He stood and made his was to the large window that looked out at the entire labyrinth and notice a young women quickly making her advance threw his maze. A smile came across his face as he put his book away and made his downstairs to the porch to welcome the young women once she had gotten out of the labyrinth.*

-After a few dozen minutes of walking through the labyrinth, she made it to the porch and saw Maze. She put on a smile, and stepped onto the porch.-
"It's been so long... I was starting to think you weren't around anymore."
-She said in a calm tone. She didn't understand how it felt to miss someone, but she did feel a bit of joy when she met him again. It showed in her smile.-

"Apologizes, my lady. I did not intent that my absents of been this long."
*Maze stepped down his front steps and made his way closer to Hakku and hugged her. He really didn't intent on being away from her this long..but with everything that's happened...Never the less Maze smiled for his friend as he let go of his embrace trying to hide his sorrow thou he was truly happy that she had visited.*

-The warmth of a hug; something she never quite understood. Was this type of skinship necessary for when two people haven't seen each other in a while? Anyway, as Maze let go, Hakku went in and hugged him in return.-
"This.. this is what I do when I miss someone, isn't it?"
-She said looking at Maze, smile still plastered on her face. Maze and Cross were the only two people she ever felt anything close to an emotion with. SO with Maze back, maybe she could become whole...-

"Are you saying you really missed me?"
*Maze looked down at Hakku. Her eyes looked so innocent as if she really didn't know what she was doing. It was cute.*

"Yes, I did."
-She said letting him go.-
"But now your here...hm.."
-She bit her lip as she stared into space, as usual. She began brooding about what they could do, or what should be done. Even with 103,002 grimoires in her head, she couldn't figure out something so socially simple.-
"What should we do?"

*When Hakku had said yes it made Maze warm inside. To hear her say that not only meant that she was starting to 'feel' but also that she may also start to see Maze as a real friend...maybe more.*
"Well come inside. I'd love for us to catch up."
*Maze took Hakku's hand in his and guided her in pass the threshold of his home.*

-Hakku let Maze take her by the hand as they entered his house, thinking of the things she could ask him. Who knows how this will go.-

*Maze led her up to one of his imagination rooms. When he door was opened the room was just white and empty but once they passed threw it transformed into lodge room. A warm firm lit the room and Maze led her to a chair by the fire side and sat in the chair across from her.*
"So tell me...How have you been Hakku?"
*Maze tilted his head slightly and smiled as he asked his question.*

"I've been... disappointed."
-She said nonchalantly. Thinking back to the incident with Khrona, she continued on.-
"Because of a failed Experiment, Khrona has been fused with power from the boundary. He seems to be fine with it, but it will start to damage his body if he abuses the power.."

"The boundary?"
*Maze thought about it but he couldn't remember if he had heard of such a thing. And learning that Khrona now has yet another thing slowly killing him Maze could all but sigh.*
"Well I'm sure Khrona will be fine. If is this fusion has been proven deadly, Khrona's no fool. He won't get himself killed and controlled by some power let alone anything else."
*Maze spoke highly of his friend Khrona but all in all Maze was gonna have to make a trip to visit Khrona at some time.*
"You shouldn't beat yourself up about making a mistake."

"Hm, perhaps you are right. I'll, go easy on myself from now on."
-She said with a smile. She was still going to do her best to cure Khrona, if it was possible.-
"Thanks for your support... I'll keep that in mind,"

"I'm glad to hear it but I thought you would of known by now..."
*He said with a smile his eyes on hers.*
"I'll always be there for you if you need me."

-Hakku looked into Maze's eyes, feeling something, something that resembled embarrassment. Her face lit a light shade of red, as she diverted her eyes from Maze.-
"Um, his situation... feels awkward. What are these feelings?"

"Hmhp."
*Maze stood up from this chair and walked over to Hakku's he lean in close to her and placed his hand on her cheek.*
"I can't tell you..It's a something you have to figure out for yourself and trust me you'll know what it is your feeling."

"I see.."
-She placed her hand on Maze's as he touched her cheek, smiling. It was warm. She was glad to have been with Maze again. She felt herself becoming, whole, in a way.-
"Then, I'll just trust your judgment."

*Maze leaned in closer and kissed Hakku. It was a weird experience. Her lips weren't warm and yet they weren't cold. They were soft and sweet, and as he backed away a feeling a sense of longing to return his lips to her's*

-She didn't react, and she didn't know how this was supposed to make her feel. She felt warm, but this sensation of skinship; it kept her wondering. So much was running through her mind now, but she didn't understand any of it. The feeling of happiness. Was that was this was? Or was it dismay? Perhaps she saddened by it. Emotions were a hard thing to read, and she had no clue which one she was feeling at the moment. She got up, and looked Maze in the eyes.-
"I.. I.."
-She wavered, she brooded, but in the end she was just confused. She turned tail and ran out of Maze's abode, finding it even more confusing just being there. She really couldn't figure this out, and she may have to do so on her own.-
"I'm sorry.."

*Maze chased after Hakku but once he got to the threshold he stopped and watched her disappear. He was upset at himself he should of known what type of reaction Hakku would of given to his actions. However this was overshadowed by the sadness he felt for her absents.*
"Hakku...."
*Maze wondered were she must of went and if she would be ok.*
