Both Octavia and Roden just remained frozen as they stared at each other, Mise and Vinyl beginning to become concerned before Octavia began to get out of her chair while Roden slowly placed his coffee on a nearby table. Once they were both standing empty handed they rushed forward and brought each other into a caring embrace, holding each other tightly, the sight causing Mise and Vinyl to smile warmly as they watched the pair become reunited.

The hug lasted a good five minutes before they pulled apart. They still held each other but were far enough apart that they could look into each others eyes. "I can't believe it...you're...you're actually here." Octavia spoke with disbelief until she began touching his arms and chest to make sure that she wasn't hallucinating. "It...it really is you, Roden..."

Roden looked her over, taking in her new appearance. "Look at you...grown into a beautiful young woman...has it really been so long since we last met?" He asked while brushing the side of her cheek before hugging her again, which she gladly accepted.

After another minute they pulled away again. Octavia looked to the bottom half of his face and gasped, reaching her hand to slowly touch the bottom of the scraf. "You're still wearing the scarf I gave you?"

"It's special to me, I could never throw it out or leave it lying around, I had to keep wearing it."

"Well, that and one other reason..." Zerlinda said to herself, causing Zanny to sigh.

Octavia gripped the fabric of the scarf slightly before tears began to form in her eyes. "You kept it...even after all these years." After a few seconds of fighting the tears she let go and buried her face into Rodens chest, gripping his hoodie tightly as she cried into him. Roden slowly wrapped his arms around her and began speaking soft whispers into her ear as he slightly rocked her back and forth.

Mise and Octavia glared at everyone in the coffee shop that was staring, causing them to flinch and quickly turn back to whatever it was they were doing before the reunion began.

Once Roden had calmed her down she let go off him and pulled completely out of the embrace to allow them to look each other in the eye in a more professional way, as to prevent another emotional breakdown. "What are you doing here? I thought you were still living up in the high class estates?" Octavia asked confused.

"I moved out of the mansion four years ago, used some of my inheritance to buy out an apartment in Maretropolis." Roden explained.

"And you came all the way out to Canterlot City for...a coffee?"

"I was in town...visiting someone, when I thought I'd stop by to try and clear my head begore going to the movies to relax for awhile." Rodens smile faltered at the memory of his encounter with Falcon Sight. "So, this is where you've been all this time, in Canterlot City?"

"Yeah..." Octavia rubbed her arm nervously before sighing. "It has been ten years, and I still don't know I what to say..."

Thinking quickly, Roden tight back to one of his conversations with Octavia as a child. "Your eyes." He merely said, catching her attention.

"What?"

"Your eyes. They still shine and sparkle like amethysts in the light." He continued softly as he took a few steps forward, a small blush coming to Octavias face as she began to remember the times he would say that her eyes were like gems.

"Dude, are you not a even slightly mad right now? He looks like he's putting the moves on Tavi." Vinyl whispered over to Mise, unaware that Zanny had picked it up and told Roden what he heard.

"Nah, they're just catching up with each other in their own way, I'm not worried about losing Tavi to a guy that is essentially her brother." Mise answered confidently as he took out his flask and took a sip before returning it to his pocket.

"Sit down so you don't make more of a scene." Zanny suggested, causing Roden to motion towards the table the group was sitting at, Octavia nodded in response before sitting down and watched as Roden pulled up another chair and sat with the three. Proper introductions were made between Mise, Vinyl and Roden. Octavia then began to go on and on about things she and Roden would have done when they were younger. Roden just listened her talk, filling in any blanks if she couldn't remember certain points in the stories she was telling.

They began to catch up, with Octavia telling Roden about all that had been going on on her life since the point they were separated. Things like how she met Vinyl, how she fell in love with Mise, her music career progression and all the odd goings on at Canterlot High. In turn Roden told her about his job as a therapist, causing Vinyl to jokingly call him Dr. Roden. He told her about his apartment, his art pieces and various other aspects of his life. However, he was avoiding one subject in particular, always changing it if it was asked. His family.

He spoke of his mother Chrysalis, but silently refused to speak of the others. Octavia made a note of this, adding it to the note of things she had yet to find out about her brother, including why he was still wearing the scarf over his face. When she asked to take the scarf off to see its full condition Roden seemed dead set on keeping it on. He was hiding something, and Octavia was going to find out what.

"Gotta make up that drama tag somehow right?"

I think we already had it dealt with when we introduced Falcon.

"Just end the chapter before she can say anything else."

Author's Notes:

There was a tiny bit of writers block for this one, but only for these few scenes. I would have tried to make it more emotional but it was a little hard given the setting.
