Aron stared at the empty space in front of her, hand stuck in a partial raise, the wave unneeded now.

Her double had left so suddenly, it took the realization that her senses weren’t matching where she was to put together that the other was leaving. She’d stepped outside of the cave, but instead of feeling the cool shade on her skin, light breeze wisping past, and soft dirt beneath her feet, she’d smelled heat, and could have sworn that it sounded as if she were in a small room- and felt it too, with the lack of wind. Once her brain caught up to what was happening and she whipped around to say goodbye, she was met with a blinding flash and empty air before she could get a word out.

…Which, understandable, she guessed. Her other (-wait, ‘’other’’, that’s what Kale had referred to Kid as initially. She tucked that thought away for later.) never really liked her, not from the moment they’d met, and the disdain had never let up once, and especially not on this mining trip.

Which. Also understandable.

The world didn’t seem keen on being kind to helsmits, after all. She didn’t know much, as the information she’d had access to had been a tad limited, but once her helsmit had first appeared and her headband identified what the person she was looking at was, well. She had to ask it to define ‘helsmit’. It gave a few different definitions- something about a missing half, another about issues that became so prevalent and permeating they spawned a whole new being centered around it, another about actual clones, among others. None of them seemed favorable to the doubles, regardless of which was actually true.

…And there was whatever had happened there with the health potions, which had… brought up unpleasant memories. Of things that had never actually happened of course, but the possibility that suddenly screamed in her mind that an old nightmare of health potions given with blind trust being swiftly turned against her could come true made her flinch when it had been snatched from her like that. She’d thought she’d been doing a good job keeping her conversational distance and giving space and time and letting the air be more casual, but then there was the skeleton and the fall and the mobs and-

Maybe it was just embarrassment? Gods knew Aron snapped sometimes when she messed up, or at least felt like she’d messed up. (“I like making you angry. You function better,” Kid had said once, but she felt like she disproved that within the hour when she found out about Sytri.)

(...Still stings.)

Aside from that… Aron’s eyes darted around as she used her tech headband, navigating UI menus only she could see, and stopped when she pulled up a literal mental note she’d made.

It was a name change.

Last time Aron had seen her double, the headband had simply identified her as:

[Aron] [Human, Helsmit]

This time, the headband had different information for her.

[Nora] [Human, Helsmit]

She’d wanted to immediately ask, but given Nora’s general disposition towards Aron at any given moment, figured it would be a bad idea. Aron had ended up giving in eventually, and sure enough, it had gone about as well as she had figured it would. She’d changed what the marker on Nora would show for her afterwards, making the name ‘Nora’ a footnote on it and editing the main label to still read ‘Aron’, just to keep it how it was. Hopefully it’d remind herself not to use the new name.

As it currently stood, though, she also had a small note with the new information on it, as well as some other notes and thoughts on the helsmit.

Be nice. Likes redstone a lot! Probably! I think! -Try to ask about any projects at some point -Maybe share something first Not great at combat actually. Maybe she’s more of my creative side? Does she like fireworks too? ASK KALE KID OR TAB ABOUT IF THEY HAVE HELSMITS. -actually a good thought. They’re not from here, do they get one too? They probably know something. Advice would definitely help Figure out which definition Aron is!!! Clues: -Hates me -Can travel to me!! So not the other half one -...Can I travel to her actually? Test eventually - - - Maybe can try talking about random stuff and see how she responds? Don’t think she’s just a clone. NAME CHANGE!! 3/23 Headband showed her as “Nora” instead of “Aron”. -DON’T CALL HER NORA. OR ARON. ALSO DON’T ASK ABOUT IT AGAIN.

She read the list over once, and then again, and then added ‘Accepted help when hurt! Doesn’t mean much, but still’ to her list of clues, sticking it as a subnote underneath ‘Hates me’.

She then read it over a third time and, satisfied, closed it out.

Maybe this run hadn’t been… all that bad, considering that objectively, it had been a decent mining trip. Her twin- no, that sounded wrong actually- her double had gotten all the redstone needed, and she herself had gotten all the iron she’d been wanting, as well as her own redstone, and a heap of gravel that she’d have to go through later. She didn’t mind. Having something to do was always nice, regardless of how monotonous the task may be.

Gave her more time to think, anyway.

She glanced up at the sun’s position, and realized it was lower than she’d thought it would have been. With a pop, she tugged on a cord that snapped her wings open, then pulled out a firework. And then she paused, firework at the ready.

Her eyes flicked to the sun again, squints.

Should she?

She wasn’t really sure how it worked, she’d never done it before.

…No. Not right after that, at least.

Maybe later.

Her eyes set forward again, and she took a second to blink spots out of her vision.

She’d go home, with her new supplies, and her new experience with her helsmit, and she’d think it over for a while while she worked on her new project, that’s what she was going to do.

…And brew two new health potions to make up for the ones used. She never did get the other one back- but maybe Nora could use it later. Maybe an extra as a gift wouldn’t hurt Aron’s chances with her helsmit.

Maybe.

She lit the fuse, and took off.
