Is that...?

Akame embraced her long lost comrade, nearly unable to keep the tears from falling. The muscles in her faces tensed up as she tried not to cry. "L-Lubbock...I-I thought you were dead, we all did." Lubbock smiled, which Akame could not see since they were hugging. "Yeah...I thought you guys would think that. Akame remember about Shelle's death; Lubbock didn't know yet. How would he react? Shelle is dead, in fact she was slaughtered, cut in half and eaten. Not only that, but Jaeger's got ahold of Exstasse.

The words the big white guy said were true then. They could die and be reborn. That had made Akame wish Shelle had died here in the Omniverse. This would've made mission much less serious if all of her friends were not risking thier lives like in the world they were from.

Now Lubbock was doing something like she had done earlier; he was summoning a horse. It was just like summoning Murasame. Making a mental note of the fact that anything could be summoned in this world, Akame thought over whether she should hop on a horse with her perverted friend or just simply summon her own. No time to actually summon her own, she decided on the former and hopped up on the horse behind Lubbock, wrapping her arms around his midsection to make sure she would not fall off. Lubbock ordered his steed to move on and Akame debated on whether or not to Lubbock about Shelle. He deserves to know, Shelle was one of his friends, and she would not deny him that information. "Lubbock..." she said with a sorrowful tone, "I do have bad news." The green haired assassini turned to look back in interest, even if he could not see her. "What? What is it?"

"It's about Shelle..." she found it hard to speak her name out loud. Thinking about made her want to burst out in tears. "Oh no...did she...?"

Akame nodded behind him, "mhmm..." it wasn't long after you disappeared. Mine said she was...torn in half." It was clear to Lubbock that Akame was crying now. "And, not only that, but she was cut in half..." Lubbock's heart must have skipped a few beats; Shelle was slaughtered? She was so good at what she did, it was hard to imagine her dying in such a ruthless way. "That's really hard to believe, but I know you wouldn't joke with me like that," he responded.

The assassin duo approached the gate to Camelot. They'd be there in a good ten minutes if they keep a steady pace.
