But she wasn’t the only one. It wasn’t just her that was scared, or lonely; maybe instead of asking everyone why this was happening.. she should have been making sure they were hanging in there, as well as they could be.

So when she spots the young girl, the singer is more than willing to reach out to her; and for the first time in what feels like days, she can feel a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

“You didn’t come here alone, did you?” Red’s quick to notice the dog at her side, and it comforts her only slightly that she has a companion in this strange place; but no child should have been going through this, no matter what sort of strength they held beyond what she could see. “I’m glad, though.. I wish none of us had to be here.” Her arms circle around her frame, doing what she can to push through the sadness that keeps tearing at her heart. “My name’s Red. I’m not sure what I can do, but.. if you need anything, I’ve got your back. At this point, it looks like all we have here are each other.”

he knows better, by now. with where he lives, he knows it's not exactly one of the safest trips to make. so when she accepts his offer to eating over at his place, he doesn't leave it at a ' i'll see you there, ' instead, he visits her first and leads the way, just in case. on arriving, he runs ahead of them both, spinning quickly and raising his arms — he's posing. it's been a bit since anyone's been over.

and normally... he would be kind of embarrassed, but maybe it's that she has a dog, so being a little goofy isn't embarrassing. regardless, he turns so he can grab the handle of the door and push it open. he doesn't run on ahead this time, instead waits for them both to enter before he closes. he doesn't have anything prepared, really, and the pot he actually uses to cook is placed outside but he did buy a couple items for his stay here, so he can cook inside. he doesn't mind the cold, but knows some people like to watch him while he does it. maybe they would too?

It is the dog that catches Dedue’s attention first. With barest hint of a smile is present on his face, he resists the urge to bend down to pet the animal.

Angeal spots the dog first before he notices the woman who keeps him close. He’s always had a soft spot for dogs, and always wanted one. As a SOLDIER he wasn’t able to, simply because he had a lot of other obligations to attend to.

Red rolled her eyes at the comment from her blade-- she knew he was right, but she barely had time to go shopping for herself, what with everything that was going on in this world. However, now that things had finally settled down, the Mermaid Cove Mall was practically calling for her; and although shopping wasn’t always her favourite thing to do, she was looking forward to a much needed wardrobe change.

Blue eyes gazed between each store window as she made her way closer to the entrance of the building.. but to her surprise, something completely unrelated caught her attention. She paused midstep, quickly changing direction as she made her way over to a familiar looking German shepherd; and once she neared, she kneeled to his height with a bright smile on her face. 

[ Hey, you’re.. Hewie! ]

[ Do you remember us, buddy? We met at the park before.. Luna really took a shine to you, heh. Where’s your owner? What was her name again.. Fiona? ]

he’s pretty excited—really really excited. as if this were the first time he’s ever seen a dog before ( —it’s not, but doesn’t every dog deserve the same kind of enthusiasm? ) he doesn’t just want to suddenly drop down from the tree he’s laying in, possibly startling @nobispacems​. instead, he wonders how to.. go about... this exactly. it’s already pretty suspicious that he’s up here, isn’t it? so.. he breaks off one of the branches, something taller than it is wide with a few leaves connected to it still, and he waves it down below.
