003 [ action ]

[hakoiri]

[ This afternoon, two individuals find themselves teleported to one of four bridges in the village. To the edge is Niko, who doesn't seem to be entirely "there" yet. Nearby is Alf with a look of confusion, spatula in hand from an interrupted cooking session. The expression changes to one of concern as he reaches out to his stumbling companion. ]

[Why hello familiar face! Don't mind the person that has the bad luck of practically drowning here.]

[hakoiri]

[Common sense dictates that Alf pull Niko out of the water, which is exactly what he does.]

Are you all ri -- oh . . .

[It's when he does that he notices another person a ways before them, watching them. Did she fall, too? He looks back curiously, careful not to drop Niko.]

[bang_ihaveagun]

[Oh yes, he'll be just fine after getting some air again. he won't be noticing Razette just yet though.]

[hakoiri]

[He follows the finger until his gaze lands on his friend. All right, he'll focus on the suffering one first. Gaze shifting between the girl and Niko, he slowly lets go -- Niko should have the energy to stand on his own by now, right?]

He'll be fine.

[bang_ihaveagun]

[Should yes, but doesn't. He just ends up stumbling a little, and plopping back down into the water.

Don't mind him, he'll just be looking back and forth between the two. Why do you have a spatula?]

[hakoiri]

[Alf watches wordlessly as Niko falls back down into the water. At least he's not drowning anymore. And why are they staring?

. . . The spatula.]

I was trying to fix lunch. Don't mind it.

[bang_ihaveagun]

[Niko still looks pretty confused, but alright, that makes sense. Now all he's really thinking about is "Alf can cook?"]

[hakoiri]

[These looks of confusion are beginning to be a popular response. And no, he can't, and Niko should take that spatula away from him.]

That is, I was fixing lunch at the apartment. Niko and I . . . kinda moved without meaning to.

[Speaking of moving, they're still in the water.]

We should dry off.

[bang_ihaveagun]

[Oh yay!! Towels! Niko will happily jump towards the towels!]

[hakoiri]

-- huh?

[ Alf, on the other hand, is being slow on the uptake because he's distracted by features he hadn't noticed earlier. Namely those belonging to Razette. He's not one to think badly of women. Still, what in the world? It's not only her "feet" -- it's like she's part fish! In his own confusion he's hanging around the edge of land, unable to help but look. It's not bad, just odd. ]
