[1/4] I'm dragging Snow along, hope you don't mind!

[shines_bright]

[Lightning walks the streets of Espoir with her eyes narrowed and a light scowl adorning her features. She simply intended to stalk up on food for the month, but an unfortunate straggler decided to follow, much to her displeasure.

Her arms are folded tightly across her chest and she can't help but sigh in slight irritation as she turns to give the big lug behind her a light glare. It would have been harsher, were he not carrying everything for her.]

I still don't see why you had to follow me, Snow.

[2/4] :3c Tee hee

[shivasentinel]

[Thankfully Lightning was only one person, so the amount of bags Snow was toting around wasn't actually all that bad, especially for him. This really didn't count as punishment for following her now did it?

He adjust his hold on one of the paper bags in his arms as he shrugs at Lightning's question. There's a smile on his face.]

I like spending time with my future sister in law. Is that such a crime?

[3/4]

[shines_bright]

[She turns away from him, rolling her eyes at the smile. She's about to respond with something along the lines of "You're damn right it is" when she notices a familiar head of silver hair in the distance. Suddenly, Snow's presence isn't the main thing on her mind. She stops, blue eyes wide, her voice but a whisper.]

Hope...

[She quickly picks up her pace, briskly walking toward the boy, leaving her bag carrier behind her without a second thought.]

[4/4]

[shivasentinel]

[Snow's gaze follows Lightning's in time to register the name she whispered. He also notices the boy, and stares for a moment in disbelief. The kid was back.

As Lightning starts to walk away, Snow quickly plants the shopping bags near a fence post and goes after her, lifting a hand to wave.]

Hope! Over here.

[chokowaffle]

Belgium just happened to be around when she noticed the boy. He seemed lost, so she decided to help him. "Are you lost?" she asked.

[skycutting]

Hope jumps a bit as Belgium speaks, staring at the woman in a confused manner before he slowly nods his head. "Y-yeah, I am."

[chokowaffle]

She just smiled to him. "As crazy as this seems, this is a dream world called Somarium. It's hard to take in right away because it seem so off the wall, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it" she said.

[skycutting]

Okay, that is really crazy. But his whole life had been one crazy experience after another as of late, but still a dream world? "I guess so... is there, um, a reason why we're here?"

[ainoakuma]

Flonne was too busy examining the flowers and taking in her new surrounding. Unlike most people, she actually didn't worry that she was in a brand new place. Instead, she didn't even think about it. She wasn't paying attention and accidentally bumped into the boy. "Ah, sorry!" she said.

[skycutting]

Hope on the other hand is thinking to hard about it, so much he doesn't notice the girl until she bumps into him. Stumbling a bit, he rights himself quickly enough and sighs. "It's... it's all right."

[ainoakuma]

Flonne wouldn't know who's new or not, considering she just got here herself, but she looks at him in interest. His clothing was interesting. It was nice and colorful (it's a good thing). "You must be new, too" she said smiling.

[skycutting]

"Yeah, I am." Hope says, as he looks at her more with confused curiosity than anything.

[rendtheskies]

[couldn't really believe it at first, but she'd recognize that kid anywhere]

....Hope? [...wait why was he stumbling?] Hey, Hope! [and running over]

[skycutting]

( he pauses at the sound of his name being called, twisting around and ignoring how surprised he is to see the older woman. still gripping at his wrist as he takes a few steps forward, and then pausing. )

Fang... ?

[rendtheskies]

[takes a quick note of him holding his wrist before she finally reaches him]

Well you're a sight for sore eyes. Did ya just come in?

[skycutting]

Yeah, um, I just woke up not to long ago. ( he'll glance around before giving fang a curious, and rather confused look. ) Just... just where are we?

[kyudousha]

[... she'd recognize that silver bed of hair anywhere, really. And it gives her a sinking feeling. Just when she had thought that the youth had escaped this hellhole of a world, here he is, back again, looking as disoriented as ever.

She notices his grasp on his wrist, and doesn't think that it's a good sign.]

... did you hurt yourself?

[skycutting]

( he looks up at the question, blinking at the unfamiliar person before slowly releasing his grip and giving a brief nod. )

No, um, I'm fine.

[kyudousha]

[Eyeroll goes here. And because Rita doesn't know the meaning of personal space when it comes to other people, she reaches for his arm.]

Yeah, because people who are fine usually clutch their wrists like they aren't.

Let me see.

[skycutting]

( he might shift his stance, pulling his arm away at first as if on reflex. but he sighs, and holds it out. )

Really though, I'm fine...
