[Yuiko sat on the beach, glancing out at the sunset rolling over the ocean. She smiles before looking at the communicator she had switched on moments before. It was rare for her to use it, but she felt like right now was a good time.]

Has anyone seen this sunset, it's very beautiful.

[She smiles once more before lifting her legs up and placed her

Yo! Yuiko, right? [He flashes a smile and a small wave; he hasn't seen her since they bumped into each other at Traverse Town, but maybe she remembers him!]

Looks like you made it through Traverse Town all right.

[It's the adult! She slightly jumps before looking at the communicator and gives a tiny wave.]

That's right. I'm at what they called Destiny Island now.

[Smile!]

Thought so! I'm livin' there too. Gonna be goin' to school, actually.

[video]

[pinkhairedkitty]

You're going to school to?

[She looks confused for a while. Do adults go to school to?]

I thought you were old enough to not need to.

R-Really? [This is like, the tenth person who's mistaken him for someone older! This is clearly going to his ego.] No, I'm seventeen! Technically, I don't have to go to school, but I wanna.

So! If you need a friend or somethin' over at the Academy, you've got me!

[pinkhairedkitty]

Seventeen!

[She's slightly surprised, yet she really shouldn't be. After all she still thought he was an adult.]

Really?

[video]

[duelking]

Yup!

[He fist-pumps enthusiastically.] You bet! I know bein' in a new place like that can be pretty intimidatin'. It's kinda crazy for me, too. All the more reason for us refugees to stick together, am I right?

[She smiles, feeling more comfortable talking to someone who is in the same situation as herself.]

Right, although... [Ears drop slightly.] from what I know, there isn't anyone else with ears and a tail like I have, so I kind of stand out more than I already do.

[duelking]

Standin' out ain't a bad thing! I stand out too, but you can't let it bug ya. It makes you unique. Makes you who you are, y'know? And if anyone has anything to say about it, you just tell 'em that! [He thumbs his chest with a fist.]

[video]

[pinkhairedkitty]

So it's good to be able to stand out?

[video]

[duelking]

Exactly! Long as you're happy with yourself, that's all that matters.

[video]

[pinkhairedkitty]

Okay! I understand that.
