[ It's a very predictable gut reaction from Mitsuru Kirijo, although the swamp itself had likely not been expecting it. The ground is now solid enough for Mitsuru to push herself up on properly. She dusts herself off, still miffed, but that was satisfying, to say the least.
However, there is something distinctly missing from the picture. Her invisible foe? She's faced Shadows before that would only make their appearance when attacked, but were otherwise invisible. This doesn't appear to be the same. Could it be that the swamp itself was working against her? That wouldn't be a first either. ]
How despicable...
[ She's had enough of this ridiculous game, thank you very much.
But don't worry, Akihiko. Even annoyed and still mud-stained, Mitsuru does a proper surveillance of the area and, eventually, her gaze lands on the Sanadacicle. She does a double take, eyes widening. ]
...Akihiko?
[ Oh my goodness, that is him! The world around them still stays as cold as Elsa's palace (a reference that is beyond their time and not one she would get even if it wasn't), but the ice around Akihiko in particular begins to crack as she rushes over. ]
What are you doing here!?
[ As if he can explain that. She knows the answer. And it might be easier for him to respond if his face wasn't frozen in place. About that...
Once she's in front of him, the ice shatters entirely. ]
