[ Cheza is lingering just outside town today-- She's just returned from a very quiet mallynap and has been a bit too confused and disorientated to move anywhere else, what with everything that's going on. But she looks relatively unharmed, if not shaken

[Now that things have calmed down - at last - Sanji feels secure enough to make his usual rounds through the forest then back into town. It's on the way that he sees a very familiar flower]

Cheza-chan? [Her absence hasn't gone unnoticed these past few weeks, and there's marked relief and concern in his voice when he approaches]

[florescere]

[ His approach actually surprises her this time-- She freezes, blinks, and tenses, almost as if on the verge of fleeing. But recognition comes fairly quickly, and so she stays still, not quite approaching yet. ]

... Sanji?

[oda_hates_me]

[That's not the exact response he'd hoped for. Watching her tense prompts him to stop a few feet away]

Yeah. [brief smile. He's eying her with thicker worry now] Are you alright?

[florescere]

[ The worry in his voice encourages a nod from her. ]

Yes... This one is alright. It has been a long time... hasn't it?

[floralprophecy]

[hurries over when he sees her] Miss Cheza!

[florescere]

[ Takes a step back, instinctively, and tilts her head. ] Yes. This one is here.

[floralprophecy]

What's-what's happened to your neck?

[florescere]

This one has not basked properly for some time.

/IIII'm probably breaking time here >>;;

[Ginko is in the forest, still deciding whether or not to stay around-- or make the long hike for the mountains. He might not be the first person she runs into, today-- but he'll certainly have a warm welcome waiting.]

what is time 8|

[florescere]

[ No, not the first-- Meaning she's less jumpy than before. But, when she notices he's around, she approaches while still lingering cautiously at a distance, and waits to be noticed. Probably akin to the first time they met. ]

[one_green_eye]

[it's that smell... and that faint flash of pink among all the green-- and he turns, surprised]

.....Cheza?

you're safe, then /logics

[florescere]

[ She steps closer to make herself more visible and clasps her arms behind her back. ]

Ginko.

[shred_the_sky]

[ There is a faint sound of cracking wood to the side, a sign of someone - or something, seeing as the presence doesn't smell or feel human - makes its way through the woods. It grows louder and more pronounced, until the shrubbery on her side finally parts and someone stumbles out. ]

Ah..! [ This someone sounds more than a little surprised to see her here. ] You are..?
