Another city, another fresh start. That would be the easy way for the trickster to understand the situation he finds himself in, but that would be heavily simplifying it. Itโs really more complicated than that if the consistent presence of magic wasnโt vocal enough, never mind how exactly he found himself here. Though a question like that seem best saved for later, as settling in his new surroundings felt like a better idea for now. While most shops and places he passed on his way definitely felt noticeably different from what he would recognize, one in particular spoke to him.
Maybe it was the aroma of it that seemed somewhat familiar. After all, he had spent more than a year living in a shop like so. Maybe he just had an affinity for coffee now all things considered, something the other person did as well if his memory served. Still, he didnโt expect to see a familiar face. But if there was a place heโd find her, this did make the most sense. Approaching familiar hair from behind, as his presence was noticed heโd raise a hand to greet. โI would say Iโd expected to see you here, but thatโs not entirely true.โ No, he didnโt expect to see anyone he recognized. But, it was a relief truth be told. โOr were you looking to get some tea?โ
๐ ใ There had been a rigidness in her shoulders ever since she arrived. A stubborn one that refused to ease regardless of the small comforts sheโd find here and there. It wasnโt until hearing him -- seeing him -- that she finally felt some of that fear disappear. ย โ Akira-kun! โ Honestly, she could cry, but she knows she shouldnโt. Heโs taking it so well, after all, acting as if nothing's wrong. Itโs just like him. ย โ M-Mm. Youโd think after seeing so many Palaces, Iโd be used to this one, but... here I am, just flocking to whatโs familiar. Typical, isnโt it? โ
ย ย ย ย ย Undeniably, and almost frustratingly, there's a shakiness about her voice that betrays her brave words. How could they both pretend that they weren't trapped in a whole, new world, without even so much as their Personas by their side? It all feels like a dream, but one she can't wake up from. โ I tried pinching my cheek like you recommended that one time... and it hurt. That means this is all real, right? Maybe if you try pinching me, it'll confirm it for sure! โ
