all day || outside sunset village
[If you happen to be travelling outside Sunset Village, you might've noticed this little group of a white-haired dude and his nearly equally as white-haired daughter, going back and forth from the town, carrying things over to a wooden house a little further past the train station, along the mostly empty greener areas past the Village itself.

Nothing too extraordinary, but someone clearly settling in might feel a little unusual given most people were initially told there were no permanent residents yet, and told of the fleeting nature of this world. Maybe you wonder how are they managing to purchase multiple items already. Perhaps you received your own charm, or requested to stay longer, and would like to chat to people in the same situation.

Or maybe you're just stopping by to listen to the third person involved - the bard, who doesn't seem to be helping much at all, unless you count his music lifting everyone's spirits... supposedly.]

[[Little log for the family! Feel free to poke any of them, or mingle among yourselves if you'd like. || Vers. en español. ¡Postcito para la familia! Pokeen a cualquiera de ellos, o mézclense entre ustedes si quieren.]]

[She sighs, accepting the answer though it's far from ideal - she already had a feeling that would be the case, after all.]

I didn't see anything either.

[Her body seems to move without her deciding so after that. A step, two, and she's soon all that much closer, reaching up and putting both her palms at either side of his face without even so much as asking to. Just putting enough pressure - enough direct touch to feel that he is real. That it's really him without a shadow of a doubt. As if there was one. Sorry to his dumb little heart if her stare alone was already a lot.]

Himmel, how old are you right now?

[It's only because it surprises him as much as it does that he's not dramatically fainting at this sudden boldness of hers, yes.]

I'm 23. [But you knew that already, right? Were her memories messed with, or has she lost time somehow?]

[... The surprise doesn't show on her face but it puts a whole difference context into what she thought she was seeing already. It's not just Himmel but - further in the past than she could have guessed. A perfectly depicted memory never far from her mind now made manifest into the young man in front of her, that she can see, hear, touch.

This goes against everything she knows.]

Hmm. [Yes very interesting, she doesn't drop her hands yet, thoughtful.] ... I haven't seen the others. It may come down to checking on those bridges ourselves if they aren't here already too.

[Past and future company alike, she supposes. What in the world.]

[A lingering touch he'll forever treasure in that dumb heart of his... but he's rather starting to inch closer to the dramatically fainting scenario. Time for silliness before he does indeed, just die and end his brave journey right then and there.]

[UM.] I get I'm simply too handsome [✨] to resist the urge to touch me, but we might need our hands to be free if we'll go searching elsewhere... [And no, it doesn't occur to him he could simply gently take her hands off, or ask it normally. Of course not.]

[It's funny - the familiar shadow of staring into the abyss when he says these things still clouds over her eyes, almost an eye roll, but other than that if it weren't for that barest reaction one might think she didn't hear or wasn't paying attention. Truly never changing, aren't you?

Okay, small mercy is it's not all that much longer, though even by the time she seems satisfied enough to drop her hands, it's still gradual, brushing down his shoulders, his cape... She huffs, readying herself for... all of this, and picks her suitcase back up.]

All right. We can go.

[For a moment it'd almost seem like he wasn't reacting either, when in truth he's just frozen in that spot, vaguely wondering if maybe he's finally reached heaven, and why doesn't it include his other companions...

He really needs Heiter to help him here, or at least hold him as he dramatically faints or something equally as silly. He can't simply handle this on his own.]

I... [At a loss for pretty words, for once. Focus, you're supposed to be the big Hero, he tells himself.] I got some directions, before. [That's a start.]

[He gets some grace in that even as she looks around them for the path to head down, she feels distracted by the jumble of her own thoughts, much as she's letting herself go with the flow if immediate answers and explanations are out of her grasp for now.

His voice, fancy declarations or not, stirs her attention back anyway.] Ah, that's right. There was a -

[A brief pat down over her clothes cuts off whatever she was going to say there prematurely. She definitely lost her own map already.] ...... Which way first then?

[Can't help a soft chuckle at that, not mocking her but simply fond of these familiar shenanigans. So it's not that different from usual, good.]

It's alright, I remember the way. There's a port we could go to that's closer by, but I think you'd enjoy the other town much more. [What with the magical ingredients and flowers everywhere.]

[Something about that quiet laugh tugs a small smile at the corner of her lips despite herself too. She's not sure if she knows the feeling of nostalgia that others talk about with her concept of time as it is but perhaps... it's something like this.]

Is that so.

[She wants to ask him why, to hear what makes him think that, as he so often could just know when it comes to her. For now, she holds her patience.]

Very well... lead the way, then. [As you do.] I'd like to see it.

[It's nothing too complicated, simply that a quiet town with magical shenanigans seems much more her type of thing than a busy port. But she'll see it when they get there - for now, it's time to walk.]

[Points out to a place up ahead on the road, not perfectly straight ahead.] We could take one of the trains, to make it faster. [Not that he minds taking their time, but they are trying to find their partners and that's a reasonable priority.]

[Looking down the path too, she seems to consider the option, her face like she's chewing over the idea. Her patented "taking it slow" methods ordinarily wouldn't worry about the speed at all either, but it's curiosity and prioritizing that does win out in the end.]

Trains... is it. [Huh.] Does seem like it would cover more ground than a cart.

[She can't help the stray thought that Fern would scold her if this method comes with more cost, but eh - she'll cross that bridge if it gets to that.]

Okay.

It would. [A slight pause, and then...]

But to be fair, I just wanted to try them out. [They just seem cool, okay. And his nature won't let him pretend he didn't have an ulterior motive, even if it's a silly one as this.]

[There's a moment that she raises a brow... then breathes out a little huff that could have been a chuckle or maybe a sort of helpless sigh.]

Yes. That is something you would want to do. [Isn't that a wonder, to find herself recognizing another something she knows about him in this strange way... Small, silly and obvious in all.]

... Probably means we ought to hurry before it leaves without us, then.

[Huh. He'll definitely be wondering about those gestures and their seemingly nostalgic nature as they pick up their pace in order to catch the train. Because of course he would notice them.]

[Shh shh nothing to notice at all. She'll hurry along with him on her short little legs. By luck they make it to the next train without issue, aside from some short breathing to recover from once they've safely got their seats and are on the way.

Whew.]

It's comfortable. [Definitely not the usual.]

[He makes sure to open the windows so the wind can come in (and have his hair wave majestically, or something like that), and so the view isn't obstructed by anything.

Watch him all wahhh like an excited kid at the scenery as the train itself picks up the pace and takes them faster.]

[She may be mostly quiet while sitting beside him but it's inevitable that his general reactions along the way draw her eyes, watching with a little smile tugged at the corner of her lips that she may not even be fully aware herself that she's wearing.]

[So silly...]

[He suddenly reaches out and grabs a large leaf that was floating by on the wind, so now he's sitting back with his new big treasure, quiet for a moment before...]

Will you tell me what's really going on? [Hm, that's not quite it.] Or maybe, do you want to? [It's not like he expects for her to speak her every thought. It was never like that. But something's definitely different this time.]

[-!

Oh. It does take her a little aback to be asked, maybe from being distracted by all her thoughts in this situation while also in watching what he's doing, simple as it is. Mrr.]

It's not as though I know that any more than you do.

[With all the dual meaning there... She has things she can't say but how to explain it is beyond her too.]

I was thinking, "Have I perhaps grown even more handsome somehow, and so she's taken aback because of it?" [He comments, imaginary sparkles at all, as if it were a serious matter.]

But of course, one can't improve even more once you've reached the top, right? [ALREADY AS HANDSOME AS CAN BE.] So I was thinking maybe it's something else. [There, he's being a silly - you can be a silly right back, or actually chat with him. Whichever's more comfortable.]

[Is it nostalgia that she's feeling? He's so dumb. He was always this sort of dummy. It's expected that he would say it, even, in this same way, and yet strangely she thinks back to the encounter with the specter she had not long before here. Those were expected words from her memories... but nothing here is quite like the real thing, saying something easy and comfortable but still wanting to hear from her.]

You come to those ridiculous conclusions enough by yourself. [Hmph, don't need her help with that!1

Which is to say - yes. Something else.]

I can't... say for sure if there's a way to explain what this is right now.

[Not without risks. Right? Maybe she's asking herself that the most.]

[He feels oh-so-stupid that his heart does a little skip at the words, before he shuts down the idea entirely. No, it's impossible, and in any case if he's ever allowed himself to entertain this silly dream it involved you being straight-forward about it, not coy or shy in any way.

So.... Something else, indeed. Gives her a more gentle smile.]

I wouldn't mind listening to a bad explanation, either.

[Sighs and she flops back a bit in her seat beside him. Even badly done, what if it's still...

When she raises her eyes and looks up at him like she can't quite look away- well. There's a lot of thoughts in her mind, uncertain. (And the mixed signals continue, unknowingly.)]</small>

Sorry. [She'll figure it out (sooner than some other things and all that.)]

[Holds onto that look, and then his smile turns a little sad as the impossibility of those mixed signals settles. And because something's different, and bothering you, yet he clearly can't help.]

[Reaches up to pat her head, lightly.] It's alright. But I hope you know you can talk to me, once you're ready.

[It's something. Something about that look on his face that makes her feel suddenly off kilter more than the strangeness of all this. Did Himmel look this way too and she just never paid attention to it before? She grapples with that thought and the sudden urge it gives her to spill everything.]

[When his hand is on her head, she forces herself to look down, staring at her hands in her lap.]

And of the risk...?

[Maybe that's a silly thing to ask the hero of their lands. She may well not even realize she wants the reassurance. From him.]
