[Today was good and windy out. The perfect chance for Vash to try to contact Kipinn. So today he’s found himself sitting in the middle of a clearing, eyes shut as he tries to contact the spirit. Only problem? He’s never been good at sitting still in a meditative like state. So his mind starts to wander.

Just little thoughts here and there.

[Lost in the woods? Never! April would NEVER admit she is lost in the woods. Ever. Still--she's relieved when she happens upon Vash in the clearing. At least it's not the same clearing she's been coming back to over and over again as she wanders in circles.]

Hey---Vash?

[He'll stop his inner monologue enough to peer and see where that voice came from. And up comes the mask!] Oh, April! Hey there!

Hi! [Can you hear the relief in her voice, Vash?] And here I was thinking that I had just wandered into the largest most unending forest in the universe. How are ya?

[goldenglasses]

[Laughs.] I didn't know pretty fairies could get lost in the woods.

I'm pretty good, not lost for another.

[Pretty fairy? Only Vash could get away with that, man. She blushes.]

Yeah, well, I'm amazing at getting across Manhattan at rush hour. But somehow I got turned around in here. And I'm pretty sure I could hear some woodchucks laughing at me. You want some company? [That question should actually be a statement: "Thank God I found a human being at last, and now I am not letting you out of my sight." She takes a seat next to him. Screw invitations.]

Why not, I was just trying to contact Kipinn, the wind spirit here, but I don't think he has much interest in contacting me.

[A pause, then.] That and it's getting a little chilly out, I thought maybe I'd head back to town soon if you'd like to walk with me. [Sneaky way of saying: I can lead you back.]

[after_march]

Well, if you insist, SURE I'll walk with you! [She gets up and brushes twigs off her pants.] I think he was trying to contact me. Or at least trying to mess up my hair. Does that count as the same thing?

[goldenglasses]

Maybe, I heard they like to play jokes now and then. [Vash stands up as well.] Or maybe it's just windy, either way I think your hair is just as radiant as ever.

[WHOA this guy is smooth!]

Why do you want to talk to the wind, anyway?

[goldenglasses]

I was kinda hoping to learn some of their magic. Learning it can keep you from getting bored, right? [And nifty to use against blue haired assholes.]

[after_march]

I'm...not a big believer in magic stuff, I guess. I'm a scientist.

[goldenglasses]

Oh, a scientist? I guess I wasn't too big on this magic stuff myself before I came here.

[after_march]

There does seem to be a lot of it here.........

What were you into?

[goldenglasses]

Hmm, I guess I was into running away.

[after_march]

[April remembers your behavior around a really angry Raphael, Vash. Something doesn't compute here.]

For some reason I don't believe that.

[She pulls a stray leaf from her shoulder as she walks; it's hard to believe that autumn is already here.]

[goldenglasses]

[That's because there was a Derek. Otherwise you would have seen a lot more dodging, yelling, and shrieking involved.]

You'd be surprised by just how fast I could run, but if you don't believe that then just think of me as a hunter of peace. One that chases the elusive mayfly known as love.
