He sucked in a shaky breath and squeezed his eyes shut. He stayed silent for a long time, until he was relatively sure he wouldn't cry or something, but then again, he wasn't sure anything could make him cry anymore. Slowly opening his eyes, he stared coldly at the ground. He hated just about everything for her being taken away.
He began to wonder how she knew, how she could have possibly known when he'd been gone for so long. But then again, Selina knew a lot when it came to reading him. With that and her visions, she must've known every single detail of what had happened while he was away. "How much did you see?" he asked softly and coldly, answering her question and still avoiding having to say it. However, he owed it to her. She deserved to hear him say it. But he didn't want to say it, because saying it out loud would make it true. He wasn't ready for that just yet.
"Enough," Selina said coldly with her back still facing Christopher. She had seen enough to know that he was alive and well after he had gone missing. Violet had been beside herself, but Selina assured her that Christopher was fine because she had seen that he was fine. The one problem with her ability was that she could not locate where he was, or else she would have gone and found him herself. She was in the dark, a mere spectator to Christopher's life as it crumbled around him and as Elyie lost her mind and her life.
Biting back her emotions, which Selina had always been so good at doing, she said lowly,
"I saw as you ran and let her whittle away into nothing as I watched from a distance. I didn't even get to say goodbye, Chris. Not to either of you." Her goodbyes still hung to her lips, the words that she wished she had said to Elyie, the words she had never gotten the chance to say. It was not as if she could say them now... not that she was gone.
