[There were just some things that never changed; the traffic during the evening hour to her presence in Ikebukuro, even the sunsets were always the same in the park she always took the time to visit whenever she could. Change was something of a mystery, Celty knew- choices and consequences, cause and effect... everything was connected. And she,

[And Celty isn't the only one in Ikebukuro longing for tranquility.

Shizuo's world might be a little more narrow than Celty's, his path of vision more limited to those around him rather than the entire city. And perhaps he doesn't have as much on his plate; really, the only major thing that's got him disgusted would be that stupid flea that's been stinking up the town, now that the Slasher incident's resolved. But even so, that nuisance is a hassle to deal with, especially since most of the incidents that have been occurring are most likely- no, are definitely that bastard's fault.

And, ah, how Shizuo hates killing. But Izaya deserves to die. He's the one who's been depriving Shizuo of obtaining the quiet, peaceful life the latter's always wanted.

That's why Shizuo's taking advantage of his time in the park. It's one of the only places he can venture to for solace-seeking. The atmosphere's pleasing not because it's happy, but because it's... tranquil. It's calm. It's quiet. The perfect place for relaxing, really.]

[The flash of blond catches her attention, tilting her head to get a better glance- ah, it was him.

Celty isn't surprised to see Shizuo there, after all, they've met here more than once. Whether to talk, or running an errand, it was starting to become a place they frequented lately. Slipping her PDA out of her sleeve, she approaches Shizuo, making sure to keep at least and arms-length away before tapping him lightly on the shoulder.]

[He feels the light knock on his shoulder.]

Aa..?

[Likewise, Shizuo isn't surprised either when he sees her. The park's become almost like a meeting place for the two of them. But today's had to be a coincidence, that they just happened to be at the same place at the same time.]

Yo.

[Shizuo says this rather nonchalantly, but he really is glad to see Celty. Her company's always appreciated.]
