[Her shoulders drop in her relief. At least she can make it up to him somehow!]

It's over this way!

[And she'll begin walking!]

As for this city... Umm, I've been here for a very long time now, so I think I can probably answer almost any questions you might have!

[realmenknitplushies]

[He'll be following her easily, lazily, as he talks on-]

A long time? How long? You... uh. Don't look local.

[He's a bit worried about that point, actually. Seriously, the gods are bringing in kids this young?]

[saving_sound]

I was one of the first Travelers they brought here. It's been... probably over a year and a half now?

Um, the seasons in this world work a little differently, too. It's hard to explain, but it seems shorter somehow.

[realmenknitplushies]

[A year and a half?! He stops for a moment-]

...They brought your family too, right?

[saving_sound]

Huh? Er... No, they didn't.

[realmenknitplushies]

Aw, h- heck...

[He's looking a mixture of sad and angry, here.]

Who's looking after you?

[saving_sound]

I usually just look after myself...

[It's what she's used to, after all.]

But... I've also made lots of friends here who help me whenever I have trouble, too!

[realmenknitplushies]

[...Gah. She reminds him of Nanako, back home... agh. Thoughts of back home again. He doesn't want to start thinking that way, there lies trouble...]

...I'm glad you have, okay? I don't wanna see you getting stuck or hurt or ... anything.

[saving_sound]

It's hard to avoid getting hurt sometimes... [It's bad enough that she's clumsy. Adding the war on top of it and there's no way she could make it out completely safe.]

But I know my friends will do everything they can to make sure I'm okay. [Even if it's too little and too late.]

[realmenknitplushies]

[This is almost too much. He stops again for a moment. His voice is a bit shaky as he goes on-]

Yeah. That's what friends are for, okay? You just ask. They're gonna be looking out for ya.

[saving_sound]

...?

[Did she say something wrong...?]

Mm! I wasn't very good at asking before, but everybody's so kind here-- no one seems to mind it.

[realmenknitplushies]

[Gathering his nerves again, he starts walking onwards...]

That's good to hear.

[saving_sound]

[Ah... she's pretty certain she said something wrong now. But what could it have been?]

A-anyway though... Like I said, everybody here is very nice, so you can ask around if you need help with anything! Lots of people use the network that way.

[realmenknitplushies]

[She hasn't done anything wrong. Not a thing. It's just ... damn this situation...]

They do? They ain't gonna mind me just calling up and going 'hey guys, I'm lost'?

[saving_sound]

I don't think so! I think that's how it is for everybody when they first get here.

Oh, but... If there's any place you want to go, I can try to give you directions, too!

[realmenknitplushies]

Huh. Thanks. ...D'you know how far it is from - what was it? Freyr hall?

[saving_sound]

Freyr Hall? So you're in Freyr-sama's house?

That's really easy! Once we get to the Sigyn district, it's about three districts away. If you look at the colors they use in each district, you can tell when you're in Freyr-sama's because his will be full of a purplish-blue one!

[She presses on the gemstone of her bracelet, pulling up the map.]

This green one is where we're going now. The Sigyn Welcome Hall is right here [point] so to get to the Freyr Welcome Hall, you'll need to go up this way over to this building here! [More pointing.]

I'm free for the rest of the day, so... After tea, I could show you the way if you'd like!

[realmenknitplushies]

Purple, huh?

[He takes a moment to look around, noticing the coloured hints to the decorations and surroundings - man. If she hadn't pointed it out, he'd have never realised that it meant something.

...More of a hike than he thought, but dammit, is he going to say no now?]

Yeah, sure. You don't have to come all the way, but if you can point me in it...

[saving_sound]

It's my fault you have to go out of your way so much, so... It's really no trouble!

[She's definitely aware of it, at least.]

[realmenknitplushies]

And you're no trouble either, okay?

[Nope. He's not going to budge on that issue. Even if he is walking across half the city for it.]

[saving_sound]

If you're sure...

Were there any other questions you had?

[She's determined to be helpful!]

[realmenknitplushies]

Nothin' so far...

[He's pretty sure that's not going to stay the case, but for now, yeah.]

[saving_sound]

Hmm... They probably told you about powers too, huh?

-Oh, but... They don't tell you which ones are which, do they?

[realmenknitplushies]

Yeah. They said mine's ...something about drawing? I'm not sure how it's meant to work, though... I was kinda thinking about other stuff when they were giving me the talk.

[saving_sound]

Oh-- it must be drawing things to life! So, if you draw something small, it will become real!

It takes a while, but your power will grow stronger and stronger while you're here. After a while, you'll be able to draw even bigger things, and it won't make you so tired every time you use it!
