Anemone From the Greek anemōnē, "daughter of thew ind." The Anemoi were four wind gods in Greek mythology. Protection against evil or ill wishes. Red: Death or forsaken love
[every day you say something that really affirms kanda belongs to you somehow.]
Oh. [JUST. OH. this makes sense, she guesses. listen cloud carries his sword little everywhere and it's very noticeable.] Probably better to do it there than in town where someone might accidentally walk in front of you.
[but there's the door! she darts forward, hopping a little before she's reaching and opening it to usher kanda inside.]
Come on! [into the door, onto the island. let's get you into the sun, buddy.]
[STOP NOT THIS CALL-OUT!!!! Also Cloud is easily one of the most tolerable people here yeah. Dare I say Kanda even likes him, insofar as he likes anybody he's only known for a week.]
I don't care about that. [He could've just said "I wouldn't hit them"] I just don't want them interrupting me.
[By PESTERING HIM
But, Mugen in hand, he will step through the door... and... hunh. Weird. What is this.]
[he could have, but this sounds more accurate to what she knows about kanda at this rate. she decides not to address this though because they're here!! through the door they go, and it kind of shuts behind them as aerith lets him take in what he's seeing.]
This is the first time it's shown up. But it's kind of nice, right? Compared to the town. Lots of space...and there's a beach and a neighborhood and a few places to see.
[help. she actually looks a little amused by that assessment even if she doesn't entirely disagree. but also maybe other doors will show up? maybe a convenient exit will appear next.
she folds her hands behind her back, and she begins to walk ahead while bumping him forward with her shoulder. affection. come on, come on.]
I've been here a few times already, but nobody else has come back to their homes. I think they might be empty. Buuut I could use a swordsman's help to check them out? Just in case. [no matter what this adventure is going to end with kanda in a clothing shop but first a detour.]
And yet it looks much better. [is she a little annoyed they had to stay in the town for a week like that when this island was here? more likely than you think.] Where do you think the people have gone then if it's abandoned?
Like they found a boat and sailed away. Maybe if we're lucky another boat will come back and the rest of us can try, too. [she says this but she's approaching one of the houses, already peering in through the front window.]
They don't look as worn down as everything in the town, at least.
[you know what, that's fair. but she still looks up when he disappears.]
—hey! [WAIT FOR HER, DON'T JUST GO IN. she's quickly following though and entering the little house where she pauses and just stands in the main room to look around.] ...it looks lived in.
[HE DOES WHAT HE WANTS but this time it's mostly because he doubts the cult would let them run into random people so easily, so it's probably fine. And lo, no one is here... he at least leaves the door open so she can come in too.
As she looks around the main room, he wanders over to one of the walls, peering at the photo there. Hm.]
[and lo, t'was empty. thanks for not shutting the door in her face, she guesses. she's checking out the cute furniture, flipping on one of the lamps just to see if there's electricity. when kanda mentions a cat though she kind of drifts over to where he is to look at the frame.]
...looks that way. Different than Izutsumi, too. [that is their current standing cat.] Think that's who used to live here? [she's already back to walking to go snoop.]
...usually that's a cue to explain a little more about it. [light. teasing. she does not ever really expect much from kanda, truthfully, but the topic came up and she's curious. lavi told her a bit about the order and akuma and what the hell's going on there, but nothing about where they're actually from.]
[They're either depressing or they're about zombies...]
Yes. [This probably isn't true but it's all. So incredibly basic. Ordering food at a restaurant levels of basic.] If you want to talk to someone, talk to that idiot Rabbit.
What makes you think I'm not doing both? I talk to Lavi enough. [that. she's assuming that's who he means. also she can only talk to lavi so much before she has to kind of go "no we are a little too similar let me pause and come back."]

no subject
He looks at her...]
You just wandered into a tree portal?
no subject
You could be a little less judgy about it. We don't know how we got here to begin with, remember?
no subject
If this cult is dumb enough to leave a door open for us to get out of, then we don't have anything to worry about.
[But he is still here... and peering towards the houses.]
Did you talk to anyone?
no subject
she folds her hands behind her back, and she begins to walk ahead while bumping him forward with her shoulder. affection. come on, come on.]
I've been here a few times already, but nobody else has come back to their homes. I think they might be empty. Buuut I could use a swordsman's help to check them out? Just in case. [no matter what this adventure is going to end with kanda in a clothing shop but first a detour.]
no subject
He tolerates the bumps with, perhaps, shocking patience, walking along with her.]
People are good at hiding, but it's probably abandoned like the town is.
no subject
And yet it looks much better. [is she a little annoyed they had to stay in the town for a week like that when this island was here? more likely than you think.] Where do you think the people have gone then if it's abandoned?
no subject
No idea. [He mostly just said that because he's seen a lot of abandoned towns...] Over the water, maybe.
no subject
Like they found a boat and sailed away. Maybe if we're lucky another boat will come back and the rest of us can try, too. [she says this but she's approaching one of the houses, already peering in through the front window.]

no subject
Anyway he opens the front door and walks right into the house without knocking]

Is this a standing cat?
no subject
...looks that way. Different than Izutsumi, too. [that is their current standing cat.] Think that's who used to live here? [she's already back to walking to go snoop.]
no subject
Maybe. I've never seen animals like this. [But they also don't have Izutsumis or Karlachs either, so he accepts that this means nothing]
no subject
You and Lavi are from a relatively normal world, aren't you? Besides the Akuma. [so she means "mostly full of humans and minimal monsters."]
no subject
It's the only one I know. [So he doesn't know what to compare it to because he never asks anyone questions about their worlds...]
no subject
...usually that's a cue to explain a little more about it. [light. teasing. she does not ever really expect much from kanda, truthfully, but the topic came up and she's curious. lavi told her a bit about the order and akuma and what the hell's going on there, but nothing about where they're actually from.]
no subject
no subject
Kanda. I'm going to ask you a question. Have you ever had to talk to anyone outside of the Order...? [your social skills.]
no subject
If I have to. But they have more important things to worry about.
[Usually he's only there because shit's wild and people are possibly dead. So.]
no subject
no subject
Yes. [This probably isn't true but it's all. So incredibly basic. Ordering food at a restaurant levels of basic.] If you want to talk to someone, talk to that idiot Rabbit.
[Why talk to him when Lavi is right there!!]
no subject
What makes you think I'm not doing both? I talk to Lavi enough. [that. she's assuming that's who he means. also she can only talk to lavi so much before she has to kind of go "no we are a little too similar let me pause and come back."]
