[Sirius' walk is side-tracked when he notices the soaking kid. It was that time of month for the city, again. Grabbing a towel from one of the shops nearby, he approached the newcomer with a smile.]
It was so strange hearing that ringing in his ears again, to feel that subtle heat in the pocket where he always kept his armor orb. Shin almost didn't realize it at first, until he had to excuse himself from the Marauder Mansion to walk around. Then the ringing got louder, the heat more intense, and that's when Shin really knew what it was - he hadn't had to think with his Trooper helmet on in a long time. He'd given up any thoughts of his homeworld companions mysteriously showing up in Vatheon.
Yet here one of them was.
Shin rounded a corner, looking this way and that, until finally his eyes fell on Touma. He almost blended into the blues and greens of Vatheon, but there was no mistaking him after all they'd been through in such a short time. He called out in a raised voice he rarely used.
"HEEEY!" Waving, he jogged right towards his friend. "TOUMA!"
Blinking when he heard his name, Touma turned to see Shin coming towards him. He'd known there was someone nearby but it was good to know his senses hadn't been wrong. Pushing some of his hair away from his eyes so he could see, he gave him a nod of greeting.
"It's good to see you here, Shin." Though, he couldn't figure out why his friend wasn't as wet as he was. Then again, his friend could have arrived in another area that was drier. Not that Touma actually remembered how he got wet.
"Do you know what is happening here?" That was more important than asking where the others were. Shin was more likely to have information on this than on the location of their friends.
Now that Shin was closer, he noticed something odd -- Touma looked a lot more youthful than he remembered. Like with Sirius? But the reverse? Shin decided to leave that aside for the moment, but there was no hiding the thoughtful look on his face.
"It's hard to explain... This place is almost like another realm, apart from the Human Realm, apart from the Nether Realm, not even the Spirit Realm. Maybe it's part of all of them. Regardless," he gestured around, "the city is called Vatheon... and it's just us two here, of the Troopers. Everyone else you see is either a native, or a foreigner like us, but from somewhere else. Other planets, even!"
What Shin had to say seemed so very...science fiction. Not only that but he somehow seemed slightly older. Could that be the right word for it? Still, Touma decided to accept the information for the time being because he couldn't imagine Shin lying to him about something like this for any reason.
"So this is another realm called Vatheon and we ended up here alone. Is there a way to get back to where we come from? Get everyone back where they come from?" Because this seemed like some kind of trap to him.

It would help a lot at this point.

You must be new. Welcome to Vatheon, I guess. I'm sure it's not really where you want to be, but you kind of get used to it after a while.
