Illyana was quiet for a few moments, taking in all of the changes within herself and with Kitty. Her friend, her other part, looked a little older--but then again, Illyana wasn't sure how long she had been dead. And she knew that she had been dead, because she remembered everything that she had gone through before; everything that was then gone, and the life she knew was no more. She had several thoughts and memories in her head that were sometimes blindingly bright, and sometimes as dull as a gray sky.

She was still trying to get a good grasp on how her mind was working and trying not to say too much or too little right now. Have Kitty hugging her, feeling their souls connecting again, that helped some of the missing parts slide into place within her mind and her heart.

She would try not to admit how much she needed to hold onto her old friend and the mate to her soul. She was still a bit unsteady with everything and had questions.
