( kimberly's head snaps to focus so fast, the sound probably could have echoed out across an entire football field. as it is, her expression is impossible to misread, wide eyes and parted mouth a dead ringer for shock and surprise. )

( who else calls her 'dummy' in a voice that's both dismissive and filled with fondness? who else does yoga — or tai chi, apparently, even though kimberly still doesn't really know what the difference is — on mountaintops and needs to get away from parties? who else but trini?
the reaction is two-fold: simultaneous lightness in her heart from sheer relief at finding a friend in the darkness, and a confusing tightness in her chest that feels oddly like disappointment. at what, kimberly's not sure, and she's not ready to dive into it yet. not when trini's right here, and she's missed her so much already.
right now, all she can manage is to blink, body turning towards the other girl in a hesitant attempt to get that much closer. )
I didn't know you were even here...
( how did she not know? shouldn't she have known right away? shouldn't their connection have alerted her, somehow? the power coins' proximity or... something, right? )
