Ah, no! It's okay, Nirei-san. I think we're both startled?
[ They sure seem to be, at least, especially as Riku listens to his explanation. He's not the only one. Oh, that's something like a relief, but also a bit frightening. He doesn't dream of people he doesn't know, and if Nirei also thinks this is a dream, then...? Where are they? Where is here and where is everybody else?
Riku lowers his jacket and twists it, trying to drain some of the rainwater from the fabric. It sure is rainy and makes the mood a lot more somber than it might've been if it were sunny. He can recognize Nirei's attempt to stay positive, though, with that smile of his - all Riku can do is try to match it. He gives a hesitant smile of his own. ]
I know what you mean... I've never seen a place like this before, but the rain is cold, and I can hear you so clearly. I - I don't know if we're in a dream because of things like that.
[ Riku moves to bridge some of the gap between them. He will take comfort in this complete stranger who seems just as lost as he is. He moves towards the trunk of the tree so he has something to lean his back on. ]
I think I want to look around once it gets drier. But...maybe we should stick together? I'll make sure to warn you if there's any danger...!
LMAO i am so glad...finds a matching icon
