video | ACTION :: out and about

[vetrarosa]

Oh -- ! So this is how it works... Hellooo, can anyone hear me? [A light tapping sound on the communicator, and she speaks again. silly beeps, here and there. for the moment, she sounds lost, distractedly speaking more to herself than anything. ]

So much water, where was I - I'm not supposed to be here, I'm breathing and I know I shouldn't be and

screaaaam /clings to your leg.

[howkickassiam]

[ oh man. He eyes that blood stain for a moment, quiet. ]

I'll give you a hand, if you want. Not quite sure where you are, though; I'm pretty new here too.

asdjhasdkjashdf baby /grabs hold of and squishes to bosom :')

[vetrarosa]

[ aerith... pretty much forgets about that blood, because she's looking into the seal curiously -- really, how does this really work? ]

New here, too? It's not...some other warped version of an afterlife, right? I mean, you're not --

/leans~

[howkickassiam]

[ ... He wishes he were better at lying, but, no, he's one of the worst. .-. ]

I don't know. Haven't been able to figure that part out, really.

hello bb how are you~

[vetrarosa]

[ it's okay bb >: awful liars are adorable. but -- she registers those words, thinks that it would suck to be lost and lonely at the same time. so: ]

I suppose we're in the same boat, huh? I'm Aerith. What's your name?

:> bueno. not doing homework, lol. you?

[howkickassiam]

Looks like. [ and there's an audible, apologetic tone to his voice. ] I'm York. Nice to meet you, Aerith.

DOING NOTHING :'( /settles with

[vetrarosa]

Same here, York. Are you anywhere nearby?

/curls up on your lap :>

[howkickassiam]

...Maybe?

[ LMAO SQUINTING AT HIS SEAL??? ]

I can be. Can you show me everything around you?

/rubs fondly on c:

[vetrarosa]

Oh -- ! [ THERE, holding the seal out to the surroundings -- with landmarks that show that her position's about ten, fifteen minutes away. ]

There you go. I'm not quite sure where I am, though.

:>

[howkickassiam]

[ :> Okay, he can roll with this. ]

I think I know where you are. Listen, uh. Asking this as non-creepily as I can, but d'you want me to bring dry clothing? Y'know, shirt and pants or whatever, till you can get something else?

[ LMFAO TRYING TO TO SOUND CREEPERY :( ]

i'vemissedplayingwithyou

[vetrarosa]

[ HEY IT DOESN'T SOUND CREEPERY AT ALL. :C she appreciates it, because it's getting a little chilly and she's tired of people looking :|

...and he looks pretty decent so -- she just looks relieved, and grateful. ]

I'd like that, please. I suppose catching a cold the moment you step in is quite the silly thing to do.

you too sugar. :> also action? :>

[howkickassiam]

Quite.

[ He gives her a grin, sheepish as it is. ]

Give me like, ten minutes, yeah?

[ Showing up there after he digs through what clothing he'd grabbed- he hasn't exactly stocked his room up, but he's grabbed some things, so he's got a pair of flannel pj pants a tshirt, and a large hoodie (all mismatching, DON'T JUDGE HIM) in hand.

He's left the armor behind, going in jeans and a casual shirt, but it means that there aren't a whole lot of places to hide weapons, which results in being creative.

Still, soon enough, he's looking around for her. CONGRATULATIONS, AERITH, you have 1 (one) scruffy guy with a messed up eye looking for you. ]

action please! :> /flails at

[vetrarosa]

[ and she waits for him! curiously exploring the area for a little while, but still staying in the area. at this point, she's gotten the general idea that the locals don't like her very much, and -- oh!

she spots him not too far away, heading towards him and thinking -- what a kind man, he must not have been here long, but here he is looking for another lost, wayward person. she waves and smiles, feeling oddly self-conscious about the stain (how embarrassing, right?)

hello gruffy guy with the weird, mismatching choice of clothes! ]

Hey, there. York, right?

action :>

[howkickassiam]

[ He doesn't react when he sees that huge bloodstain in person; he's not stranger to blood, no stranger to death, but god, he hates seeing civilians caught in the crossfire. ]

Got it in one.

[ Yeah, he's glad he opted out of armor on this one, handing her the clothes with a faint smile. ]

Sorry, like I said, might be a little big, but they won't be- yeah.

action!

[vetrarosa]

[ it's not a problem, really! she notices the eye, but says nothing about it, because it's not much of an issue, right? she takes the clothes gratefully, smile warm and friendly. ]

Thank you. I wasn't sure where I could get proper clothes, so -- [ she looks around, before spotting a relatively deserted...alcove. Great place to get a quick change of clothes! ] -- do you mind waiting for a few moments?

action!

[howkickassiam]

Don't worry about it.

[ He nods, though, eying that alcove, glancing up and around on instinct to make sure it's safe. Can't be too careful, even if this place does seem strangely harmless. ]

Sure thing. I'll turn my back.

[ he puts himself a good distance away, but it's clear he's more or less standing guard, doop. ]

action!

[vetrarosa]

[ ajsdhjhf that's so nice of him! aerith casts a grateful, relieved look in his direction before she hastily changes, keeping an eye out, herself. and while it's strange to be in such mismatched clothes, she supposes she cannot complain, not when it feels so warm and dry now against her skin.

she wrings the remaining water out of her dress, then folds it up awkwardly, making sure not to get her new dry clothes wet in the process. they hang off her loosely, but she decides that she likes it, even as she steps over to him after. ]

Thanks for everything, York. [ a warm, sweet smile -- ] I didn't think I'd get to wear dry clothes again.
