That was a new face.

Perhaps somewhere else, new faces would be unremarkable-- a bigger city, like London, or even Forestmaw. 

Here, though? Too tight knit. Too intimate, everyone knew everyone, there was no escaping the flash of recognition or the chime of a greeting, unless one avoided people entirely. And that wasn’t exactly smiled upon-- nor would Pembleton ever allow it. Keeping him among people was keeping him in line.

Occasionally, they’d get travellers passing through, buying supplies and watering their horses, but she didn’t seem to be among them, either. In fact, she seemed rather lost.

The quiescent-like squeak coming from door gave way for a little fellow wearing a red jacket underneath his school uniform. Being October and come what may, the weather had been pretty chilly and served a good reason for wearing the contrasting piece of clothing against the black of his junior high set.

Trucy pulled the throw blanket further up her legs, propelling herself back towards the wall of the makeshift tent, which was expertly placed smack in the middle of the office. It would be a surprise to Phoenix and Apollo come morning, but with the TV a quiet murmur just behind her, she couldn’t bring herself to care about what they would think.

When Thalassa had crawled in to join her, Trucy had to resist the urge to practically leap on top of her. The initial joy of finding out her mother was alive and well had yet to fade, even after weeks, and every time she saw her it was like a grand surprise, and it felt almost... dreamlike. If it was a dream, though, she found comfort in the fact that she had yet to wake up.
