Jim's shoes scuffed on the street as he walked towards Laguna's house, hands shoved in his pockets and eyes on the cobblestones, a pale shadow around his eyes. Morph was riding in his coat, squelched up and sleeping against his left hand, having suddenly become tired in the mindless way of dogs or young children; he snored dryly, emitting an odd whistling pitch that made it sound like Jim was stepping on half-deflated balloons with every third step.

It still hadn't occurred to him that Laguna might be older than he looked in the little pictures.

With a sigh, Jim knocked.

Laguna left the counter and walked to the door.

He opened it and placed a smile on his face. "Hey, you made it! I hope it wasn't too difficult to find, not exactly the best with maps."

He opened the door wider, "C'mon in. I have some fruit on the counter if you're hungry."

For a moment, Jim stood perfectly still.

So Laguna was much older than he'd thought. The movement was unconscious, but his posture shifted visibly, his back curving more, and the shadow around his eyes deepened with the angle of his chin.

"Thanks," he said, more tersely than was required, and stepped inside. Morph zoomed out of his pocket, abruptly awake, giggling as he transformed into a puffy white glove and extended himself to shake Laguna's hand.

Laguna saw the change, but did nothing to show it. He was a stranger to Jim, after all. "Sure, no problem," He smiled.

Then, he blinked. A pink... think just because a puffy white glove, motioning to shake his hand. Laguna chuckled and took the hand, shaking it. "And nice to meet you too, I guess."

"Uh - Laguna, Morph; Morph, Laguna," Jim introduced without particular care, and looked around. "So... this is the place, huh?" he said, more as a rhetorical question than anything else, not really paying attention as Morph giggled again and transformed back into himself.
