our merry way.

Vanille: The Affectionate One

“I’ve met her on more than one occasion actually, and well, I’m a close friend of Lightning’s little posse as well.” He nodded, giving off an equally bright smile towards the red headed Oerbian. He liked her quite a bit already, all smiles and sunshine, like he’d always been told about her from the others and the stories. “But the pleasure is all mine Miss Vanille, it’s an honor to finally meet you in person.”

An almost awkward grin came at his words. Vanille hadn't seen anyone from the past in some time, even her time with Fang had been rather limited as of late. Clasping her hands together she simply needed to ask "--I'm glad to hear we've mutual friends, but... Hey Noel, couldya' maybe tell me how everyone's been?" Turquoise hues searched him over "S'been quite a while since I saw anyone, I've been awfully worried about them!"

“Heh, Light probably would.” he agreed with a nod, his smile ever persistant and warm. “Still, haven’t seen Light in a little bit so maybe that’s a good thing, she’s been keeping busy anyways. I missed you too ‘Nille, s’been way too long you’ve been hiding from us.”

It had been quite a while since Vanille'd had time to check up on all her old friends. Fang was included in her absence. She gave a little low expression before forcing up a smile to the cheery blonde "--It really has, I'm sorry... Things have been a bit different lately, but how've you been, Mr. Hero!?" Perking up, she nudged the male's side playfully. "Stayin' outta' trouble I hope!"

“Well sadly miss, I don’t believe it to be the case here. Believe me, I’d remember a face as pretty as yours.” He smiled softly, nodding, before finally introducing himself properly. “I’m Noel, Noel Kreiss…But are you from Gran Pulse pray tell…? I think you may be the first other than Fang who’s actually had the similar accent and clothing…”

The female gave her cutest smile at his response before giving a proper greeting hidden beneath a faint giggle "The name's Vanille!" She beamed maybe just a bit overzealous that this man knew of Fang. "Noel hmm? I certainly am from Gran Pulse-- Fang is, my dearest friend! Hummm but how do you know her~?" Not missing a beat of energy, Vanille gave a curious glance to him, placing her hands at her hips still bearing her smile in the process.

“I ain’t been hidin’, ‘Nille..” Came the older pulsian’s response, while pushing herself right up off the patch of grass she had been reclining in. “I was just enjoyin’ the day for what it was worth, before comin’ ta get ya anyway..” A hand motioned toward the spot next to her, as a smile graced her features. “Well, since ya found me instead.. Ya could just join me now, yeah?”

A cheeky smile emitted from the shorter female as she wasted no time hopping up next to Fang. "Such a pretty day, isn't it?" She chirped before lassoing her arms into the air and taking a deep sniff of the air around them. "Hmmm-- what were ya' plannin' on doing today anyway, Fang?" A curious glance as the pinkette took a few pacing steps about the area "Wouldn't want this day to go to waste now would we~?"

Surprise filled the blonds face as a familiar, chirpy voice spoke to him. His surprise quickly turned to overwhelming joy, “Vanille! Haha, how ya doing girl? Course I’m doing hard work! Hero’s gotta set the example for everyone right?”

"Well I'd wager any day that Lightning would knock some sense into ya' if that weren't the case!" The girl popped up next to him placing her hand's at her hips. "But it's so good to see ya' again! Feels like just way too long, don't you think?"

I fell in love with my best friend.
