Rebel // 65 [Action] forwarddated to evening

[bullet_dance]

[Four days. Four days since her return, and Noel hasn't stepped foot outside of House 19. Frankly, she's a little terrified of what could happen, as paranoid as it sounded. ...then again, she probably had good reason for it, too. Murdering four and injuring dozens more doesn't come without its consequences, whether you could control it or not.

[H-hey. How's it going. Walking down a path, are you? Well, how would you feel if a figure just FELL OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A VIOLENT THUD RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. Nothing to worry about: it's just Ian following out of the treetop directly overhead.

... He was trying to get something back from a neighborhood squirrel.

It didn't work out. :|;;]

1/2 8| WELL WELL WELL

[bullet_dance]

[ALL THESE SURPRISES]

Ah!? A-Are you--

[bullet_dance]

[...it's instinct to ask, okay.

But... doesn't she recognize that green hair from somewhere? And no, not Hazama. No. It's not just somewhere, but she's sure she...

Does she? Either way, her insecurities are what immediately shuts her up, which is weird considering how she'd usually run up to help the guy.]

...

Still contemplating tagging with Elicia JUST to ruin her day more :')

[my_yoke_broke]

[He looks up, rubbing his head with the sheepiest of looks. Familiar face, Noel? Well, he's not bright enough-or knows you well enough-to put two and two together and recognize you, however difficult the puzzle is.]

Aha, I'm fine, I'm fine!

[Typically, a broken nose isn't fine. But it's okay, because it just sorta resets and is super duper. Such is his life.]

Just had a little trouble tree climbing. You'd think I'd be much better at it by now... e-eheheh...

... D8 oh god IF THAT HAPPENED...

[bullet_dance]

[...

What.

Is she just... mistaken? It's not the first time Noel assumed silly things like this, but as was sure this man was...]

... O-Oh. That's... good. It's good that you aren't hurt, b-but... [...wow, this is awkward.]

Just be more careful for next time.

:))))))) it'll have to happen WE MUST JUMP THIS HURDLE IN OUR LIVES 1/2

[my_yoke_broke]

A-ahaha, I do try, but I think my luck just likes to stick me in painful situations...!

[fuck man you have no idea how canon it is, ian

...

Also...]

[my_yoke_broke]

[... sitting more upright. Hmmm. :|a]

Do I, uh, know you from somewhere? You're like, really familiar.

[black_onslaught]

[Noel's companion here, in the back, is going to actually give Ian quite the bit of a look when he asks that. He can only imagine what Ian might be leading himself towards with that question.

Unless he's just assuming things again. It's Ragna's specialty.]

oh god...

[bullet_dance]

[...

Maybe she wasn't just assuming things. All the same, Noel will...

Well.]

... I-I don't think so. [...] Sorry.

[AVOID EVERYTHING.]

[my_yoke_broke]

Oh. Well, I see a lot of people all the time, so I guess it's only natural! Faces sorta' blend together, all the years I've been on the road does it to me sometimes...

[BEAMU]

I'm Ian! What's your guys' names?

[black_onslaught]

[Oh. Well then. That's a relief.

AND HIS NAME IS HIS BUSINESS. HE ISN'T ANSWERING. B|]

[bullet_dance]

[Fine Ragna, be a gloomy bastard. 8| Noel will... look really uneasy about all of this, since she's positive it's him, but... try to smile, albeit nervously?]

U-Uh... m-my name is Noel. [And she motions to the guy by her.] This is... Ragna. It's nice to meet you, Ian.

[Calm yo mind.]

[my_yoke_broke]

Noel! Pretty name! I like it.

[He side-eyes the guy, though.]

... If you don't give me a name, I'll have to make one up for you.

[black_onslaught]

She said my name. [You'd better not make something up. |:]

[bullet_dance]

[Ahaha...]

I-Ian's a nice name, too...

1/3

[my_yoke_broke]

Look, it's called manners-
