[103rd]; out in the open

[caged_song]

[On the steps of the church, Nill sits calmly. Her figure is bent forward, head resting in her hands, elbows resting on her knees, periwinkle eyes watching the streets. Every few moments, she switches her view to the sky. Wings flutter gently and her feet tap out a light rhythm. A melody playing in her head that only she would know

[he is a very, very, very tall man with two ice cream cones]

Hello lass. You want one?

[caged_song]

[eyes light up but it quickly goes away, not sure if it's really okay to have one...but she nods]

...

[sits down next to her and hands her one of them - they're vanilla]

Well, lassie, that's for you, then!

[grins and pats her on the back]

[caged_song]

[takes it daintily, smiling brightly - she likes vanilla~]

♥

[she mouths a 'thank you'~]

[gone_creating]

[pauses, thinking, eats his ice-cream and then~]

::sign language::

You can't speak, can you?

[caged_song]

[her eyes widen in surprise. She hadn't thought anyone else would know sign language besides herself and Alfons...and Joshua]

No, I can't...

[gone_creating]

Oh, I see now, lass!

My name is Destruction. And yours?

[caged_song]

It's nice to meet you Mister Destruction! I'm Nill!

Thank you so much for the ice cream...

[gone_creating]

You're welcome, lass! I was going to take it home and freeze it for another day, but I think it's better to share ice cream with a pretty girl.

[caged_song]

Does Mister Destruction eat ice cream often?

[gone_creating]

I do, lass, I like ice-cream. Vanilla's my favorite flavor, and yours?

[caged_song]

Vanilla's my favorite too!

[gone_creating]

Then we're both lucky today! You got ice cream and I made a new friend.

[caged_song]

Yes! Very lucky! Ice cream and friends! And someone I can talk to...not a lot of people here know sign language...

[gone_creating]

Well you can visit me anytime you like. I live in the woods, down that way.

[points]

Or you can ask my niece Rose!

[caged_song]

Okay!

I don't think I know Rose...but if I get lost, I'll ask!
