[Okay, as if suddenly showing up in an unfamiliar place that definitely wasn’t Vale wasn’t bad enough, there was a blizzard. It is made even worse by the fact that what he was wearing? Wasn’t something suited at all for this sort of weather. He’s pretty much discarded the pamphlet (but kept the money) he doubted it would have told him anything like “Blizzard ahead”.

He’s has to duck into the first building that he can reach, because its freaking cold out there for someone in a simple white shirt and a pair of pants. It is after that that he switches his communicator on to talk, his teeth are chattering and he hasn’t exactly warmed up yet.]

F-Funny. I-Instead of l-leaving me these little trinkets, w-whoever is responsible f-for me being here could have left a coat instead. [Because seriously, he feels like he is about to freeze his tail off.]

[She blinks. She hadn't had much time to worry about herself with everything that had been going on, with finding her way around, weird weather, monsters and what had happened to Ruby only a few days ago. She'd have to tell him that too.]

Well enough, all things considered. This place is... peaceful, for the most part.

[There were monsters here but they stayed where they belonged, for the most part. Of course, recent events had proven that monsters weren't the only dangers this world had to offer.]

[monkeystowaway]

[Peaceful. He was still going to stay on his guard. Especially after the old guy was talking about taking over this place.]

And this weather. [He said motioning to the door.] A common thing?

[descendsfromshadow]

[She follows his gesture toward the door, shaking her head a bit.]

No, that just started this week.

Um. What about you? How have you been?

[Yeah, he just said he saw her and the others not long ago but it's been longer for her. Humor her a little.]

[monkeystowaway]

Aside from coming here in the middle of a blizzard, I've been fine. Still learning the layout of Vale. [And he's gotten more than one fruit vendor mad at him during that time.]

So nothing really to complain about.

[descendsfromshadow]

[Of that, she has no doubt. Well, now he had a whole new set of fruit vendors to terrorize just as long as he avoided drawing the ire of that new City Guardian.]

That's good to hear.

[And she glances to the side for a moment, one hand coming up to tuck some of her dark hair behind her ear.]

I'm sorry you had to get dragged into this. Especially today.

[monkeystowaway]

[He'd have them all angry at him in no time. But he wasn't really going to take any more than he actually needed.]

You don't need to apologize for anything. You know, it's not like you dragged me here or anything. [Timing really could have been better, though.]

Plus, I'm in pretty good company with you.

[descendsfromshadow]

[If only there were some way to make an honest living out of stowing away and thieving.]

[Another blink and she looks up at him for a second before she smiles faintly.]

So, you're saying you'll keep following me around everywhere I go?

[monkeystowaway]

[At least he isn't anywhere near as bad as the White Fang. He gives her a smile.]

Someone has to look after you to make sure you don't get into too much trouble, don't they? [Not that she didn't have her team for that, though but..It's different.]

[descendsfromshadow]

[Too soon. She rolls her eyes a little, but her smile is still there.]

I could say the same to you.

[Okay, maybe not. She had dragged him into a pretty big mess when they'd first met. She had her team now, true, but... Sun had stuck by her when she wasn't sure she had, even though he'd had every reason not to. She wasn't about to forget that.

It is different.]

[monkeystowaway]

[He didn't get involved in anything that he wasn't willing to get involved in. Big mess or not, stopping that criminal activity and trying to get through to their people was the right thing to do.]

I guess me and you are just kind of stuck looking after eachother, then. [Not that he'll complain.]

[descendsfromshadow]

[And important to her. She was still trying not to think too much about how she might never know what they're doing now, or be able to do anything about it.]

I guess we are.

[She can live with that.]

.. It's good to see you again, Sun. [Circumstances aside.]

[monkeystowaway]

It's good to see you as well. [He assumes they will be seeing a lot more of each other thanks to being here in this place.]

[descendsfromshadow]

[Well, there were still plenty of apartments free on their floor. If he wanted to live around people he knows.]

We should probably get back. There's still a lot to go over.

[She glances out towards the door. She's warmed up and that weather wasn't going anywhere, better to get this over with, as much as she wouldn't mind hiding out in here for awhile longer.]

[monkeystowaway]

[Sun gave a little nod and he stood up and waited for her to stand as well.]

Going back the same route that you used in getting here? [Sun would be able to keep up easily enough if they were.]

[descendsfromshadow]

[She's on her feet as well, casting a slight grin back over her shoulder as she starts for the door.]

If you think you can handle it.

[monkeystowaway]

There isn't anything that I can't handle. [He's following her over to the door...he had a feeling that he was forgetting something, though.]

[descendsfromshadow]

[She's kind of getting that feeling too, actually. Well, she's sure it'll come to her but right now that blast of snow and wind from the open door is getting more attention.]

Well, we'd better get going.

[And she's off with a burst of speed through the snow, leaving one of those shadow images in her wake and glancing backwards just to make sure he's sticking with her.]

[monkeystowaway]

[He takes off right after her as she starts running. The wind and cold is a bit rough, but now that he has something to help keep him warm, he can deal with it. But man, he will be happy once they reach another warm place.]

Meanwhile, back at the pizza parlor...

[solar_flare]

[Yang barges right in, holding up a blanket.]

I got you something warm to wear! ...Huh?

[Where the heck did he go?]
