[Did you sleep well last night, Mayfield? Did you perhaps party a little hard and drink of the booze like drink, or stay up until the wee hours of dawn before crashing from a sugar buzz?

Thankfully, your early morning wake-up call has arrived!Happy All Saint's, Mayfield. 's gonna be a good one, I think. So, ah... how do we get rid of all the candy

[It's nice and quiet sitting under that tree over there. You might not notice the small girl sitting quietly in the branches though.]

1/3

[teh_sword]

[Not at first he won't. At first, he'll notice that yay, there's a nice shady spot to sit and think away from the bustle of the populated areas of the park. So Ren'll just be flopping under the tree haphazardly.]

2/3

[teh_sword]

[Half a second later, he'll be tensing up like a cat and glancing around, properly aware that someone is watching him but not sure from whe--]

3/3

[teh_sword]

[OF COURSE, FROM THE TREE, WHERE PEOPLE FOR SOME REASON LIKE TO HIDE AND SCARE THE BEJESUS OUT OF HIM. Have a startled squawk.]

[miss_enma_ai]

[Sorry Ren, she was actually just looking off in the distance but you flopped down and started to make noise, so have a curious look down.]

[teh_sword]

[The glance down properly reveals who exactly is sitting in the tree. For the life of him Ren can't remember the girl's name, but at least he recognizes her face. It makes the yelping stop in favour of a grin.]

...ah. It's you. Sorry.

[miss_enma_ai]

[Looking down at you....person...who petted her cat before? Oh right, him. She just nods.]

[teh_sword]

's this your spot? I can move if I'm in the way...

[miss_enma_ai]

[There is a pause and then she shakes her head.]

I don't mind.

[teh_sword]

...thanks. [He'll just settle in a little better under the tree, then. It'll be another moment before the obvious occurs to him.] ...totally forgot your name.

[miss_enma_ai]

My name is Ai Enma.

[teh_sword]

Nice t' meet you properly.

...Ren, by the way. In case I didn't say before.

[miss_enma_ai]

[She nods]

[teh_sword]

[A faint smile, and he's back to silence. It's... weirdly comfortable, sitting with Ai in the tree, particularly now that the Diabolo is in him again. Sort of... sympathetic.

A fine place to sit and think.]

[miss_enma_ai]

[And she'll just sit there quietly. She's just picking at the bark of the tree lost in thought. She ...didn't really have a good night last night, thanks to a certain event and she's been avoiding everyone she knows since then.]

[teh_sword]

[It'll be a moment before he notices. Even after he notices that she's fairly as pensive as he feels, he stays quiet another moment, just watching her fuss at the tree.]
