[ In the short space between his arrival and the very brief conversations he'd had with a few ... ghosts from the past, it was frustration that had become a constant companion. An abstruse stirring, the only flicker of feeling in the deep stretch of loneliness that he'd suddenly found himself in. His living quarters - although spacious and very much up to the standards of what one might expect from Genesis - soon began to feel claustrophobic the more he brooded between its walls. And so, venturing outside for a brisk walk and fresh air had become the most painless way of soothing his frayed nerves.
Upon his day, his aimless wandering had brought him to the slums. It was such a wretched sight. A far cry from the rest of the picturesque place but something made him linger, sharp gaze scanning the area. For what, he couldn't really say. Perhaps, it was due to the fact that these slums reminded him of slums back in Midgar. Take away the sky and he'd be well on his way to believing he was a short distance away from ShinRa's headquarters

[The voice makes her freeze for a moment, wings perking up slightly in response to her surprise.
Guidance?
Nill turns, eyes widening as she looks up at the man a little ways away from her. Her first thought is that she needs to run, but the calming and soft tone of this man is what keeps her from doing just that. The second thing she notices is how lovely his eyes are. Such a pretty, pretty blue. They remind her of sapphires, something she had only vaguely seen from the windows of shops.
There's something about him though that seems...lonely? It feels something similar to the emotions she has felt before. Loneliness. Brooding. With the way he carries himself Nill knows that he's strong though-and maybe a possible friend. At the moment she feels no animosity from him. So, Nill takes a few very hesitant steps forward before nodding, offering him a nervous but sincere smile.]

[ Genesis remained as he was, giving the poor thing a few moments to settle down. He could practically see the stream of emotions that flitted across her beautifully expressive face. She seemed doll-like and vulnerable. Frightened, if the haunted look in her eyes and timid movements were anything to go by.
For a moment, he find himself wondering just what his intentions were, after all. It wasn't like him to stop and consider something, someone like this. Well, not unless he had anything to gain by it. No, Angeal was the one likely to take strays under his wing. It was something which had never been part of Genesis' nature. Actions of kindness were few and far in between.
He cocked his head slightly, raising a fine eyebrow in bemusement. His sharp gaze was able to easily pick out the message typed on Nill's DreamBerry. Gently, he took the device from her hands, fingers pressing a few choice buttons. He handed it back to her, wordlessly. The image of a map of Somarium was now displayed across her screen. ]It would do well to leave

[Nill gives him a curious glance as he plucks the Dreamberry from her fingertips. Well...he probably knows how to work the thing better than her. Upon having it given to her yet again she looks at the map and smiles with relief. There. Well. That helps quite a bit.]
...!
[As soon as she looks up he's all ready walking away. But she didn't get to thank him yet! He can't just leave! A small look of exasperation crosses her face as she shoots him a quick message over the Dreamberry.]
[Nill smiles at him awkwardly and nods. She might as well follow him. He looks like he's only a little older than her, too. This might me safe...maybe.]
[All right, Nill thinks that she's getting the hang of things. Scary place but so far nice people? So maybe this isn't as scary, but it's still pretty scary. The girl looks over to Allen with wide eyes and finds his white hair and smile comforting.
The hair reminds her of Heine!
Nill nods a bit, but wait-- What's that on his shoulder? She tilts her head to the side curiously and stares back at the Golem.]
[Nill jumps a bit before turning. The glasses and his outfit looks so...fashionable? It reminds Nill of the Priest! This man seems friendly too, so she'll trust him for now. She types a little message for him on the Dreamberry and holds it up.]
[Dream world? Was this like the Underground? But no, not his couldn't be the Underground because so many nice people are here. Besides, this isn't like the Underground at all. There may be slums but she hasn't seen anyone else like her...not yet.
Nill nods slowly and decides to trust him. It's either this or she runs around and probably into someone with guns or knives or--no, no she doesn't want to think about it.]
"I understand. Grew up in a scarier place. This place is like it. Scares me."

Hello? Are you alright? [for a moment he had caught sight of wings but- that.. couldn't be right.. could it?]
Reply
Oh, right, he's asking her questions.
Nill shakes her head rapidly before typing a quick reply on the Dreamberry.]
"No. Scared and lost in a scary place."
Reply
he gives a reassuring smile.] Don't worry, it's not as scary as it looks.
[gives a spare glance around before beckoning with his hand.] Come on, I'll take you to the village, it looks a lot more welcoming than here.
You're in Somarium, you must be new right?

"Yes. You're away from here too?"

Are you alright, miss?
[The Golem on his shoulder is now looking at you Nill and more specifically the wings. HEY that's his motif! No stealing!]

[Owlish blink before following her gaze an realizing it is focused on Timcampy.]
Ah this is my golem. His name is Timcampy. May I ask for your name?
[Keeping up that prized smile as Tim crawls his way over Allen's shoulder and eyes the girls wings with mesmerized intensity]

...Hey, miss. Need some help?

He finally comes up to her though, tilting his head.] Do you need any help, sweetheart?

She fidgets around a bit, shifting from foot to foot as her shoulders scrunch up while she types.]
"Im lost. Dont know how to get home."
Reply
Well, as far as I know we can't get home. We have to "wake up"--[he uses air quotes and everything--] but I don't know if we can voluntarily do it.

[Nill offers him an awkward smile.]
"Im Nill."
