[She squeezes back. There's an admission sitting just behind her teeth, and maybe it's the fairy form and maybe it's the way he's meeting her, level for level, that draws the words out. She has to tell him in some manner how she feels. And because she's Celestia Ludenberg, and she cannot help it, she looks him in the eyes with a very familiar ferocity.]
Do not ever do that again, Horatio Hargreeves. Because I swear to any god that I will level this island to find you.
[Because she would. It had nearly driven her crazy to find him gone, and that itch beneath her skin still hasn't faded yet. Celeste has always been selfish, almost transactional with people's value, and he's worth more to her than most innocent lives.]
