The war had seemed like an eternity all alone. Nori had been so scared the entire time, not sure if it was safe to venture out. Being alone, afraid and hurt...it was more than enough to make the time drag on until it seemed like no time ever passed at all. She wasn't one to be able to bear being alone and without the ones she cared about. She sincerely hoped that the rest of her tribe was safe, though, and that they had made it to the farm alright even if she was stuck in in the city for so long.
If anyone had been searching for her, they'd never come across her. Nori wasn't too discouraged. As long as she was alright, she would make it to the farm and she'd find her brother and her friends. She wouldn't give up that easily, covered in bruises and cuts or not. The tiny girl was nothing if not optimistic, hopeful and, above all, perserverant.
When she saw Hollywood there, right outside the door of the farm house, there weren't any words for how glad she was to have found someone familiar after so long. She was still smiling as he came running toward her, but she hadn't been expecting him to pick her up in a hug like that. It did hurt a little bit, given the large amount of black and blue on her body, but the physical contact was more than welcome nonetheless. Once she was set back down, she looked up at him with a smile and a little bit of a laugh.
"Hi, Hollywood." She reached up to run a hand through her hair. "You have no idea how glad I am to see someone familiar."
