seven whirlwinds. FOURTH WALL SHENANIGANS.

[breezing]

[ Ikki's 99.9% certain this new feather season isn't when it should be, but she's not going to complain about new people to talk to! That would be silly. She's going to go about her usual activities, i.e. airbending practice, school, training with Soren, and playing around at the fountain, the bakery (her pal Rapunzel works there, and she likes baked goods okay), or the playground.

She's extremely easy to flag down, and will happily talk to pretty much everyone with very few exceptions. She will also offer tours around Luceti to anyone remotely lost looking.

Beware how much she talks once you get her going, though. ]

<3<3<3 i do have to go to bed early tonight forewarning, since school tomorrow >>

[ Yes, he'll probably have to try a bit harder to get either of them to get off, since Ikki dissolved into giggles at the order and Soren probably just. Looked at Chien. C'mon you know you missed them. They know you did!

Ikki does shake her head when he apologizes, though, sitting up and getting off to the side. Since. Well, she shouldn't just keep him tackled. ] You don't have to apologize!! That wasn't your fault. It's just good that you're back.

[ if only she knew. But for now? She's happy to see him again, after the intervening months. ] I missed you. We both missed you!

[ Because you were important, and still are. ]

me too i have early classes <3<3<3

[Chien feels a dull ache in his chest when he hears that he doesn't have to apologize, that it's not his fault, that they missed him. It hadn't been his fault that Mathias had gotten the Manifest either - that he'd been fooled into believing her damn promises - and that's still really fresh for him, just like this missing thing and actually having friends and stuff.

He humphs and pulls Soren closer so she doesn't see him crying a little. He's just a kid after all. His words are muffled a little, but totally audible.]

Yeah, well, stop it. I'm not leaving again. I swear. [If only he knew. But for now, he's happy.]

And you! [Soren!! Dumb bird. He leans back, tears forgotten for the moment, and frowns.] Have you been taking care of her? You better have behaved for her.

and i never got this B|

[breezing]

[ He's just a kid, and so is she. And Soren, in his own way. Ikki's not going to call him out on crying, anyway, she's just so happy he's back. ] I have so many people to introduce you to!!

[ Oh man, Chien, Soren has got this. He is so good at taking care of Ikki! Granted she's normally not getting into too much danger (see above thread re: running away from anyone dangerous per house rules and also NOPE) but he's all over protecting her. He needs an award for how great he is at it.

Yeah, most of their days are playing or practicing together, so he's not got a lot of reason to protect, but he's totally on it. ]

[He'll catch him a squirrel or something. Later. But Soren is just getting Chien's quiet appreciation right now. Good bird. He didn't remember how much he missed him - and this place, actually - until he came back.]

Like who? [Seriously-- wait hold on.] Hold on, who don't you need to introduce me to.

[BECAUSE HE REMEMBERS SHE'S P. MUCH A SOCIAL BUTTERFLY WHO KNOWS THE WHOLE VILLAGE.]

[breezing]

[ Awww, you remembered, Chien! That saves you a huge, top-speed list of everyone she's met since he left, and furthermore confuses her into momentary silence. ]

We-ell, I'm not sure who I don't need you to meet, 'cause I probably haven't met them yet, either?

[dogboy]

[Great. Sure, Chien had a lot of, uh, "friends" or... something like that before, but meeting people still wasn't on the top of his list.]

And how many people are we going to see, exactly!? [Totally baffled. Please don't be like, a hundred. Or fifty. Or even ten!]

[breezing]

[ ...Chien have you met her. ]

Well, we can meet them tomorrow so you have a chance to settle back in - I bet your old place is still free! - buuuuuuuut...LOTS.
