Given the phase of the moon, Allen was expecting to run into confused individuals throughout the duration of the day and being the help young lad that he was, he took it onto himself to help anyone who seemed in trouble or confused about their surroundings.
Still it wasn't every day that he came across someone who looked like they just came out from a dip in the lake though the fountain was closer and most likely the culprit for the man's state.
"Excuse me? Are you in need of assistance?" Allen inquired politely. The golden winged ball on his shoulder perked up visibly at the man Allen just spoke to. Hmmm new face. What label shall he put on you, strange one?
Vincent's usual quick wit just wasn't working at the moment, not with everything that he'd seen so quickly after arriving in this place. He hadn't really gotten the best explanations out of anyone, and the fact that so many people who just shouldn't be there were... he was far too confused to have his usual grace.
Still, when spoken to, though his eyes widened for a second, he managed to collect himself enough to respond.
Well Allen wouldn't know anything about that since Vince was someone he never met before even though unknown to Allen, the man had been in Somarium before.
"I would imagine so. The first step in Somarium tends to be a bit jarring to say the least." He smiled apologetically. He was lucky he met so many nice people on arrival. It was only right he did the same for anyone else in his position.
"I'm glad it's not only me who is a little thrown off by such things."
Vincent drew himself up a little straighter, trying to become composed, and tilted his head to the side, questioning.
"Have you been here long?"
Might as well try to get as much as he could out of this stranger before his family showed up. And the person did indeed look quite strange, really. And this coming from Vincent, who wasn't exactly the most normal fellow around.
She said she would not. Well... no. Actually, she really never said anything like that, did she? Rather, she had accepted it when he said it was not necessary. Even so, she found herself leaving the house and ignoring that. Even if it was unnecessary, Ada wished to see him. If he wished to scold her then for doing so, he could, but at least she would be allowed to see him
( ... )
He should not have been surprised. Of course, he had told her not to come. And of course, she had come anyway. Because this headstrong ignorant woman just could not listen to him properly and stay where she was.
It wasn't as if he couldn't have found her. Especially if someone was coming to find him anyway, and well, it wasn't as if he were helpless. Even in some kind of strange dream world.
But here she was, holding out her hand to him as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
So what could he do?
He took it, smiling up at her, his annoyance carefully hidden.
"Oh? Then fate must have brought me here, I suppose? I was just a little late to catch you."
That charming facade was hard to discern, especially when the eyes in question belonged to someone who very much wanted to believe that those beautiful words were real.
Ada smiles. "That was quite some time ago, certainly not something you could have helped." More than anything, she felt blessed that, at long last, Somarium had reunited them.
In Somarium there were many unusual things that once could not be blamed for, and still the irony continued, with these constant water predicaments. That's why she giggled thinking about it. That and one other thing.
"I didn't know you believed in fate." Somehow she was convinced that it was strange for him, and that still he probably did not.
Vincent laughs softly, stands, his hand still held in hers. He shakes a little, as if the water might just all shake off, then gives another soft laugh when he realizes that he splattered her a little.
Charming and amusing, he can be that. Even if in reality he wants to put both hands around her pretty little neck and...
"Have you been here quite some time then, Miss Ada?"

"I think I might be, yes. I seem to be... lost."
That was putting it quite mildly.
