[Ever since he'd seen the news report, Russell had been a bit more wary while he was outdoors. While the End of the World was mercifully far from the Academy, which was a guaranteed shelter from the happenings around the world...well. To a kid who's been looking over very scary-sounding emergency procedures, any half-seen image or shadow in the

Much like Russell, Simba had taken to exploring the the campus to learn his way around and see what it had to offer. On his way back to his room himself, the young cub was in the middle of a very big yawn when notices the mancub dashing in his direction.

Smiling playfully, he bounded over in the other child's direction to run along with him. "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

FOREVER AND EVER?

Continuing at a jog, Russell turned to Simba.

"I-I lost something!" he replied, words punctuated by huffs and puffs as he ran. He pointed in the direction of the botanical gardens. "And it's getting late, so I wanna look for it as quickly as I can!"

Oh chyeah

That's right, there was a curfew. But Simba was too intrigued now to turn back. A time limit, something to find...this would be fun.

"I'll help you!" He said with a giddy tone as he kept up with the child easily as he padded beside him.

"You will?! That's great!"

He slowed to a walking pace. They weren't far from the gardens now.

"Have you been to the student store yet? It's my school uniform in one of the bags from there."

[Sometimes it would be just like this - Kairi would go somewhere, not knowing exactly why. Something in the botanical gardens of the campus was calling her, something was telling her to go. Despite the danger she was aware of and the shadows that looked very scary, she was still walking into the gardens.

Normally beautiful, this place looked pretty creepy in Kairi's eyes now; but she wasn't the kind to turn around and run away. She was quite brave despite her delicate figure and young age.

Suddenly, someone passed her with surprising speed; was it her imagination, or was it really a little kid?]

H-hey! You there! Wait!

[heresnipey]

Whoah!

[Upon hearing Kairi's voice, Russell skidded to a stop, nearly falling forward from the quick loss of momentum.]

Yes? Do you need me for something? I gotta find something really fast first, though!

late reply is late i'm so sowwy ;w;

[purest_sea]

[Kairi stares for moment at the kid. So it wasn't just her imagination. But why would he...?]

It's not like I need you for anything, but... Why would you go there at this hour? Don't you know it's dangerous?

it's okay! <3

[heresnipey]

Well, I've gotta get it now! I left something in the garden, and if I don't get it now, what if it gets taken away or something?
