                 To Keith, Koi was surprisingly warm. It didn’t matter the season or the time of day. He could feel the warm brisk air hit against his face. Even on the beach, despite the hint of wind here and there, it was just right. Coming to the beach at night was a good idea. It got him out of the house and outside—he had the entire beach to himself.

                                                           Well, not quite.

                 Somehow, one of his close friends followed him out here. He thought she would be asleep like Lance was. Who was up past midnight? Oh right, him. Though, she did have a bad habit of looking up her weird mathematics. He never did ask her what she was discovering this time. They were on Koi, so perhaps it had to do with the strange phenomenon of this place they currently rested.

                 And he had to admit, using Koi as a place to relax was better than home. So far it was, anyway. There were strange life forces on this island that Keith wasn’t used to, but he hasn’t interacted with anyone peculiar yet. Not that it would matter, since he was pretty peculiar himself.

                Another soft breeze went by and it got him out of his thoughts. He didn’t bother to sweep the bangs that went in weird directions. He remembered that Pidge was close beside him this entire time. Maybe he really should converse with her. It might help her get sleepy.

          it’s her first venture out into town without her ever-present bonehead shadowing her. she’d left with a quick ‘ i’ll be back later! ‘ and a kiss to elias’ skull ( right between the eyes, his favourite ) while he’d been sitting enjoying a cup of morning tea and the paper, rushing out of the door and into the chilled morning air. she clutches her green jacket around her, hood pulled up over her mop of red hair to make sure her ears don’t freeze. she can feel elias’ gaze upon her as she makes her way down the sidewalk through their front window -- she knows how worried he can be sometimes, and it isn’t like she had left empty-handed, either.           she had taken care to bring her wand along, and she keeps a few crystal flowers ( from the bear given to her from elias for christmas ) in her pocket, just in case. she tightens her grip on her wand as she steps into the thick of town, though it isn’t particularly busy this time of morning. most shops are open by now, and she can smell a strong mixture of baked goods, flowers, and fresh goods wafting through the morning breeze. she breaths it in and sighs, a small smile curling to her lips. she would enjoy this time on her own, even if it doesn’t end up being very long.           she has a list in mind -- they needed groceries, badly, but she wants to take a bit of time to enjoy herself, maybe stop at a shop or two. she sets her sights on a coffee shop down the road a bit, and makes her way over ---

          “oof --- !!”

Lance scanned his eyes around the large furniture depot store- so many designs going from little kids rooms to for-rich-people-but-not-really in just one level of the store. Both Pidge and him were almost lost in the place. Didn't help that they both were like kids left in a MacDonalds playground- a much larger MacDonalds playground but still a playground- assuming justice over every display mattress and couch cushion.

Ah no. there it was. Their distraction from what they truly were supposed to be doing.

“Yo Pidge! They have an electronic section!” He could feel his own face curl up into a devious smile.

   If it were up to Keith, he would have preferred to not see any of his former teammates at this weird school. Cemented in the belief of the fact that he had only arrived here because he’d succeeded in crashing his ship into the barrier in the last moments he was conscious, he had devised a reasoning that people who died arrived at Hiraeth. As such, seeing someone he knew at the school would bring alarm and a feeling of guilt, that perhaps his efforts had gone to waste and everything still ended badly.

He couldn’t help worrying, though he could control whether his worries appeared on his face or not. When he spotted Pidge though, that worry he felt in his gut flashed over his face, at the same time she seemed to spot him. Having planned to duck out of the way had he not been taken aback, Keith swallowed his pride and closed the distance between them, looking as awkward as ever.

“Pidge,” he started, unsure of how to address her. He didn’t know what she remembered before arriving, still didn’t understand how they got here at all. Rubbing the back of his neck, Keith sighed deeply.
