Katherine is an amazing artist. She, like the children of her village, also knows a few spells that help her create moving drawings. Last time she was in the city, Old North/Santa Claus taught her spells to create toys and robots the way he can. She isn't as quick or proficient as he is, but is a quick learner.
For Katherine, finding herself in the city again certainly was a bit jarring.
Back in her own world, she hadn't remembered a single thing about the city. It had shared no part of her waking mind, nor any part of her dreams or even a part of the seemingly endless nightmare from which Nightlight had awakened her. Upon standing outside the train, however, a flood of memories had rushed to her and Katherine recalled nearly every moment she'd spent in the city.
It was almost overwhelming, and as she stood in the station, she couldn't help but want to cry a little. She knew very well that she'd return to her friends as though nothing had happened, but after having been locked away in a nightmare for months and finally being pulled free, it was hard to let her friends go. Katherine'd just been reunited with her beloved Kailash and North and the Guardians--
And with her Nightlight.
Nightlight had saved her not only from the nightmare in which Pitch had trapped her, but from falling out of the sky to her death. And that was the second time he'd done so. He'd freed her from her sleepy torment with a good night's kiss and reunited her with the Guardians and had held her hand all the way. Katherine had missed him dearly, her closest friend who always made her feel safe-- and now, he was gone again.
She was going to miss him terribly.
Still, she knew that this was not a permanent arrangement and that she'd see him again soon. So, wiping her tears, Katherine began to laugh a little. Out of one prison and into another, it seemed, and it was time to reunite herself with the prisonmates she'd left behind.
Opening her watch, she smiled at its screen. Katherine was older now, if only by a little, and it showed on her face and in her eyes. It was a good kind of older; a more knowing older, and a confident older. She didn't miss a beat turning on the video function and grinning into its interface.
"Good evening, Ruby City," she said, waving a little. "It's been a long time, hasn't it? I'm back now. If anyone is still around-- Jason? Adam? It'd be nice to see you again."
After all, alone was the last thing she wanted to be in that moment.
