[thankfully, Nill was typically fairly aware of time, how long it took to get places, little things like that, so it didn't take her terribly long to actually find the circus at all.
...the only problem was. she knew what Allen sounded like. not what he looked like. she really should have thought of that sooner.
oh well. it would work out, she was sure. still, it didn't stop her from glancing around the area nervously when she finally got to the entrance, her wings carefully laying flat against her back and hidden behind long hair. what if this had been an awful idea? was she supposed to find the empty tent on her own?
Ah... she really hoped this hadn't been a bad thing.]
[ if his hypothesis on how to find complete strangers in a lazy circus was right, the blond girl wandering about and looking a bit lost would be Nill. brief hesitation - she looked a bit older than he expected - before making sure his smile and tone was as polite as possible, moving on forward with all of the confidence of a bluffing card shark. ]
Excuse me, Miss, would you happen to be Nill...? [ please please please-- if not, he would just have to back out gracefully. somehow. ]
[her head snaps up just slightly when she hears her name, and for a moment Nill just blinks at him, surprised - likewise to what he'd thought, Allen was younger than she had expected him to be - though that quickly gives way to relief, and she nods quickly, a bright smile spreading across her fact. oh, thank goodness! that hadn't been nearly as difficult as she thought it would be... though he did deserve the credit more than she did.
she nods, pausing briefly to pull out an old cellphone without reception from her pocket and quickly typing up,] Hello, Allen.
[the nod and smile was good enough-- but when she started to fumble for something, he kept quiet, if a bit curious. then - oh. well. that made sense. he hadn't ever expressly asked why she only used text, but now it was clear enough.]
[still, she already looked beyond kind. hardly even a pause;] Hello! It's nice to finally meet you in person. I hope you didn't have any problems finding this place?
