Unable to sleep, Kid had gone out for a walk that night- which proved to be a mistake. Now he hurried back towards home, wishing for an umbrella and some rain boots, or at least a dry change of clothing. Passing the destroyed houses, he hoped that there was still a home to go to, and that if there wasn't, that Maka was safe.
But... there was a girl in one of those houses. And in a situation like this, one couldn't not help...
"Hello?" he called, walking towards her. "Are you alright?" He stopped a few feet away, wary- he knew enough to realize that witches (which she must be; wasn't that magic she'd used to defend herself?) probably weren't out to get him here, unlike in his own world. But you could just never be too careful.
It was a boy. Barely a teenager, she guessed. Jaina wondered what he was doing out so late, and was surprisingly impressed at what seemed to be a lack of fear on his part despite the chaos around him. He was even asking if she was the one who needed help.
"I'm fine!" she called back, walking towards him and brushing a lock of wet blonde hair from her face. "Are you okay?"
Yes, definitely not a witch as he knew them- she wasn't even using Soul Protect. More or less safe, then. He nodded shortly, face impassive. "More or less. I assume that was your house that collapsed?"
"Was, yes," Jaina sighed, approaching him. "This ice shield will hold off the wind and rain for a little while," she said. "If you'd like, I can extend the range a little bit - it won't get you dry, but it'll keep you from getting more wet for the moment."
"Yes, thank you," he said, stepping closer to her gratefully. He had places to be, but... he didn't know how to get there, exactly. It wouldn't hurt to stop and catch his breath. "I don't suppose there's any chance you know how to reach the library, is there? A friend of mine is stuck there, but I forgot to ask for directions..."
With a word, the bubble grew slightly larger to encompass the boy as well. Jaina sighed at his question, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, I don't. I haven't explored this place yet as well as I'd have liked. ...do you know roughly where it is? Or could you call your friend back?"
Of course she wasn't going to do a blind teleport - that would be suicide, but if they had a general idea, they might be able to work something out.
He sighed to himself- of course not. That would be too convenient. "Yes, I'm relatively new around here too. And... I think it's in the Residential District somewhere? My phone isn't working at the moment... In fact, if you could point me in that general direction, I could probably find it." Now that he'd had time to stop and think, he was worried again, but he repressed it; Maka could take care of herself.
Jaina shook her head again. "I'm afraid I don't know where that is. I'm not sure of all the proper terminology quite yet."
She reached into the pocket of her robe, digging out her crystal-shaped Dreamberry, and looked at it. "Mine seems to be working, though - what's her name?"
