[Nill looks up from her scared and confused crying when someone approaches her. People she didn't know asking if there was something wrong was definitely new to her, but this man looked like his concern was genuine. Nill only wished she could tell him everything that she was thinking, but it was too much.]
[To start, she looked up at the young man, eyes trembling, then around at where she was, then back at him--where was she? She didn't even recognize any of the buildings or see the tower.]
[Is she too upset to talk? Can she talk? Maybe she's like Riku's Replica and can't say a word. While Ven's curious about that, he'll keep those thoughts to himself. This girl, whoever she is, seems genuinely upset! It'd be best if he helped her out.
So, he'll start by looking around and then back at her.]
You must be new here. Anyway, this place is called Luceti.
[Luceti... it sounded like some of the words she'd heard back home, but she'd never heard of a place called Luceti. So she was lost, or kidnapped, or something worse.]
[She nods to show she understands, but past that she can't think of what to do next. How does she get home? Nill starts looking around, trying to find the tower to use as a landmark. But obviously, it's not there. Her wings bend and curl against her back and she hangs her head.]
[What? Someone offering to show her around instead of shrugging and walking off? New, and perhaps suspicious to someone less trusting than Nill. She nods with a weak smile and stands up. Maybe if she walks around a bit, she'll recognize something.]
[Or this person will tell her why everybody here has wings. It might have made sense that there were a lot of genetic mutants here, but everyone specifically had wings. What was the reason?]
[Staying close is easy! Especially considering she's going to attempt to hold his hand. That way she'll stay close. And feel less scared. Nill likes being close to people, and if this one is nice she'd rather be close than make him think she doesn't like him.]
[Ven certainly sees nothing wrong with hand holding or being close to people! He'll grin and start leading her around the village, headed for the shops in particular.]
Maybe we should check out some of the shops first. It's pretty cold outside, so maybe some warmer clothes would help.
[Yes, warmer clothes would help. She's trying to stick close to him and step quickly, she's feeling the cold so acutely. Shoes at the very least would be appreciated.]
[She nods in agreement, blushing a little as she tugs down the skirt of the dress. At least it covers more than what her owner dressed her in. She follows close, looking around at her new surroundings. It's all so different from what she's used to. It almost looks like some of the villages in the picture books she used to read.]
[Something out of a storybook is an accurate description for Luceti, in a number ways. At least, if you ignore its unfortunate experiments and the dangerous individuals.
Now, once they reach the store, Ven's going to get the door for her, just to be nice.]
You don't have to worry about buying anything here; it's all free.
[Nill clasps her hands in front of her and nods, smiling to say thank you. She looks surprised when he tells her that everything's free, but thank goodness for that. How would she pay for clothes, after all? She only has this one dress on her.]
[She walks to the piles of clothing and begins looking through them, just with her eyes. She looks up him, tilting her head a little. She can take anything and it's all free...?]
[Wow, free clothes. Honestly free clothes! And she can wear anything she likes! Not that she was ungrateful to the Bishop for providing her with clothes, but his taste was... a little weird. Especially for a blind man.]
[Nill flits around the piles of clothing, finally picking something out that looks warm: a nice long skirt and a shirt and sweater. There are even holes for her wings! How nice.]
[She smiles at him, holding up the clothes to signal she's going to go change somewhere, then re-emerges dressed (and with shoes no less!). Nill spreads her skirt to ask if it looks okay. She doesn't have much experience matching clothes--most of her things are made for her.]
[Oh does she? That makes her very happy indeed--she smiles shyly and blushes, happy that he approves. Nill could probably wear a sack and look cute, but she isn't at all aware of that.]
[Once she's folded up the dress she came in and draped it over her arm, she stands next to him again, smiling her thanks. Where to now?]
A super energetic greeting won't do for now. Not when this girl's upset. Instead, he'll calmly walk over to her.]
Hey, what's wrong?

Ah!]
Just stay close, okay? There's a lot of ground to cover, and I'd hate for you to get lost.

Go ahead. If you see something you like, it's all yours.

You look great!
[Granted, he doesn't know much about stylish outfits by any means. Still, it looks nice enough.]
