THE HUNTER INTIMIDATED HIM, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Two days into their expedition and that opinion hadn't changed. The winds had brought with it a haze that swept over the sands of the plains in Fallow, thick as fog. With the air dry and scratchy at his throat, he'd reached for his water canteen dozens of times or so while studying the pictures of a guidebook Alma had handed over to him.

He shifts when he hears footsteps in the sand, the cadence of the Hunter's heavy shoes making him wince inwardly. Nata would not shut the book in his hand, but he does turn slightly, and wrap his free arm over his knees, involuntarily creating a closed-off look.

Yet his silvery gaze couldn't hold off for long, and eventually it wandered up to the Hunter's, where brief eye contact was made. Nata shied away immediately.

@sunshowxr sent: ❛ One wrong move, and ya done for. ❜ Impmon hisses, frantically beckoning Mari to hide behind a jut of rock in the canyon. No way in hell they could take on a fully evolved, pissed off mega. He wasn't that stupid.

FACE RIDDLED WITH SWEAT, Mari dared to look back at the enraged digimon that they had angered. A foreign-exchange student barely managing to get decent grades and survive the hostile education system. When she said she wanted something new to try in her downtime, it certainly wasn't this!

  It felt as if winter crackled at her finger tips and fall raced through her veins. Crystal was unbelievably jittery after her big fight with her older brother and she was dashing through the people on the streets like it was no one’s business. Arms wrapped around herself, she squeezed her eyes shut and just barreled forward until she’d crashed into a particularly angry business man on his way to work. Frost bloomed up her forearms and decorated her chin and cheeks. Even as he held tight and demanded an apology, she struggled and begged him to stay away,

         【 ❀ 】Goodness, balancing protector work and also being an average girl was very difficult to handle at times. Melody had been moments from changing into her Protector uniform and heading out for the evening to patrol around the city when she had suddenly gotten a knock on her hotel room door, completely halting her in her motions for Pieri to begin to transform her into her outfit properly.

          Pieri groaned at the interruption, turning her little black nose in a huff as she made her feathery wings disappear in a flash of light, her once pastel blue fur dimming to an ordinary gray as she now looked more like a house pet. ( Was she a cat? Or a fox? Who knew! The disguise was believable. ) “Check the door,” she grumbled, “Make it quick, yeah?”

     Mumbling an apology to her mentor, Melody hurried to the room entrance, calling out a quick “Who is it?” before opening the door wide enough to peek outside. Upon seeing a familiar face on the other side of the threshold, Melody perked up instantly, opening the door wider.

【 ☽⭘☾ 】 ——  Stealing a surreptitious glance of the silver haired boy next to her, lips stained carmine from her cherry lollipop parts as she says, words muffled from her confectionery treat, ❝ Here. ❞ In her free hand is another sucker, the wrapping bright and eye catching, clearly meant for children.

... “you would?” he glances up, wide-eyed in surprise, at the boy who has answered his question, directed at nobody in particular. 

he half-flinches away at the physical touch, before he determines the boy poses no threat, and he allows the foreign hand to rest on his shoulder.
