I think those are some of the kindest words you have ever written! You do know me, and I do know you! And I will not get lost, but it is very nice of you to think of Bell!
[He arrives and beams at her, gratified and a little surprised that she was actually there, right by the entrance. She was being friendly. Gai had to actively remember not to hug her, no matter how much he wanted to.]
Lin! It is very good to see you! I am honored to join you here. It is... an important place to you?
Don't fool yourself, Gai. [ Hey. Look. she managed to say his new name. ] You cannot keep up with me.
[ Even so, she disappears before his eyes, only to reappear on the golden roof of one of the buildings, enough to glance back at him and make sure he saw her, and starts off again.
They can begin from the one place she found, that's a good start as any, so she runs towards the white towers at the centre. ]
That is why I did not say that I would keep up, only that I would do what I could.
[And he chases after, running full-out in a way he normally doesn't get to. Her speed has to be accentuated by her abilities from her world, but there's no reason to be upset. It's just pushing him more, and he likes to be pushed.
When they arrive at the white towers Gai is out of breath but not worn out.]
Surely you did not wear out! Unless that ability taxes you!
[ From the top of the hill they can see most of the white city, the white wall around it and almost every golden roof. But it's not the view Lin is interested in, in fact, soon she starts off again. ]
This way.
[ She'll go a little more slowly now, entering one of the green areas they could see from the hill. When she gets to a clearing, she stops, a hand on a nearby tree. ]
[He nods with a smile. Whether it did or didn't she wouldn't say, and he had no reason to press. Gai follows, catching up at the clearing and deciding to train even harder with his running. He looks around.]
Do you know what this place is to you? Or does it simply feel important? There were a few places like that, for me, in my home.
I've seen it before. In my first dream ever. Me and Bastet fought in this place.
[ She doesn't think anyone has forgotten how Lin threatened to kill the woman as soon as she arrived in the Tree. But Lin isn't crazy, there was a reason if she said what she said, back then.
All in all, she isn't even sure whether there's much of a difference between love and hate, and anyway, whatever happened here, it's important.
She glances back at Gai, wondering what he'll say. ]

I'll be waiting just outside the elevator, who would comfort Bell if you got lost?

Her arms are crossed and she's leaning back against a wall, but she glances at the entrance from time to time. ]

[ Obviously she'd skip all the polite it's good to see you too's and welcomes and just start walking. ]
Everything about it feels familiar, and it matches with my memories and the others' description of the place we're from.
[ The others would be the other people who have reiatsu, like her. ]

[He knew not to expect pleasantries from her by now and joined in step beside her.]
Have you found any places that are Important to you yet? Or have you only begun to look?

If you wish to run, I will do what I can to keep up. We will cover this area and find the places that you wish to see!
