ACTION~ Where to go next?

Who: Terra and Open
Where: Aimlessly wandering the city
Summary: Terra going over her new memories and feeling awful

The only thing in her view was the street as it fell away from her sight. Her focus was scattered except for the rhythmic pattern of her steps as she wandered aimlessly through the city scape. Nothing made sense because it all was a lie. How would she know what was true and what wasn't now that she lost control. Would she just be a danger to those around her? Should she keep trying to learn magic? What if something worse happened next time?

A range of emotions filled her fear, hate, sadness... She didn't know where to go or what to do next. So she walked hoping her destination finds her.

It was one of those days that Baralai didn't feel he had a purpose. He tried to come up with reasons for his purpose here but found nothing that made any sense. He walked aimlessly, his head cast down to watch his feet make those steps. He had nothing to hold him here but his own pride but finding a way home was proving to be an insurmountable task. He was needed home but here he was a nobody, just as it was when he was growing up.

He looked up to see an equally confused person on the same path. He thought to stop and talk to her but the words wouldn't come. Instead, he decided to walk next to her in hopes that his words would come into verbal thought than a bunch of what-if's.

Terra looked up at the man as he walked next to her. She didn't speak but her eyes were lost, screaming out like a lost child. She was lonely.

She wasn't good at talking to people and now she didn't trust herself to even get close. She didn't push him away but she didn't say anything either. Her arms wrapped around her as she hugged herself, trying to chase a chill that could never leave her.

Everything seemed so strange here. The fact that she didn't push him away was a sign that she was just as alone as well. He hadn't been told how to use the network for months and never thought to ask for help how to use it. It seemed odd that in all of his wanderings that no one seemed to care enough to try.

It was a strange, yet cold feeling but for now he wasn't dwelling on it. "I'm Baralai." He thought to break the ice with an introduction at the very least.

Her eyes had fallen back to the ground by the time he spoke. He grabbed her attention and looked up at him briefly. "Terra" Her voice was almost a whisper, its usual sweet soft tone expressing the pain she felt. She wasn't sure why she even told him her name. He was just another passerby that she could one day hurt.

It may have happened a while before Gabriel had arrived in the city, but being the archangel that he is, it was fairly easy for him to go back and forth in time. So it wasn't hard for him to know about what happened with the guild in Fayren.

Still, he wasn't the great judge. So instead, he walked in an alley which Terra was about to cross. He had 3 dozen boxes of chocolates obscuring his view as he walked in front of her. Or at least, they pretended to obscure his view when he accidentally bumped against her and dropped all his chocolate boxes.

"Huh?" Terra had her eyes on the street and hadn't seen the wall of boxes until it was too late. She took a step back, almost falling to the ground, as the chocolates fell to the ground. She didn't speak but instead bent down to start collecting the boxes up. Her motions felt strained but her instincts took over as she stayed to help gather the boxes up.

"I am so sorry", Gabriel said mimicking human panic and distress. He scrambled to get all the boxes on an upright position so he can stack them once more. His movements were slower than his usual angelic speed. He was just pretending to be human of course.

"I wasn't looking ahead. I'm so sorry", he whined once more.

Terra shook her head slowly. "It's alright." Her voice was soft and still held its usual sweet tone. Her voice sounded so far away to her. She hadn't looked up at the man, she just assumed that it was another resident who need to run off to his work. She stacked the last box on top of the pile and then finally looked up at the man. Her expression remained blank much like the feeling she felt lingering in her chest.

"Nice to meet you." He figured that she was being quiet for a reason but he didn't wish to pry. He inhaled deeply and clasped his hands behind his back. There wasn't much to say to a stranger but at least he was trying not to be one. As a politician, even he knew boundaries when he saw them.

"Does it rain a lot here?" He asked easily.

When all the boxes were stocked, Gabriel looked at Terra with a sweet and cheerful smile on his humanly features. He just gave her a once over. "Thank you.", he chirped. Then he slowly slid the boxes up against his chest.

"There must be a way for me to repay you"

"Rain?" Her eyes glanced up at him. Her soft voice ringing with a note of curiosity. What a strange question and she realized, like with many questions, she didn't have an answer. "I'm sorry. I don't know." Her expression stayed blank as her eyes moved back in front of her.

Her head was angled down but now as they walked she began to feel an awkward tension grow. She just wanted to be alone... didn't she?

She shook her head slowly as she brought on hand to rest on her chest. "It's alright. I'm sorry." Her tone was soft but blunt.

She wasn't very good at conversing with others but now everything was making her second guess herself. Her expressions were always easy to read and now they showed the confusion she felt. After what she had done, she didn't deserve his kindness.

"I insist. Let me at least share a box or so with you. I have some coffee, tea and hot chocolate at my place here in Fayren.", he smiled. As he was talking, a two story building which matched the city started to form not far from the King's castle. It wasn't so hard to manipulate reality.

"It'd be an honor to host such a pretty lady"

"I don't know either." He shrugged slightly with an embarrassed smile that faded just as fast. He didn't know a lot of thing but the things he knew only seemed to have applied on Spira. It was strange that he even thought to ask this question that he felt utterly ridiculous that he bothered to ask.

"I suppose it something to find out about." At least he didn't mind the research.

Fai had been quietly walking back after another successful day of taking care of the cafe. But during this moments he always had time to think and he didn't like it one bit. So when a possible distraction came into view he took the chance to plaster on a smile and wave.

"Hello there. Nice to see you again. Are you enjoying the weather too?"

Yuuki was currently carrying a few bags filled to the brim with objects or presents for those she knew and even if they didn't want them she was going to make sure she gave them to each and every person.

Sadly however she wasn't paying that much attention as she walked and tried to think about how to give a present to one of them. It wouldn't be easy, but damn it she was going to try. Because she wasn't paying attention she nearly bumped into the poor girl.

"Ah, sorry. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

She felt her composure falter slightly but she stubbornly shook her head. "I don't want to impose..." Terra wasn't sure who to trust anymore, she saw everyone as either a villain or victim. Before this moment everything was so simple and now she wasn't sure what to think.

Terra stopped and looked up at the sky. It was a decent day out, the air was warm without being sweltering and a light breeze passed through the town. "I wish it would rain."

Her voice was soft and she hadn't even expected her walking companion to stop with her. She was just talking to the sky.

"Fai?" She didn't bother to hide her own pain. This was someone that she considered a friend but she wasn't so sure anymore.

"I wouldn't say that..." Her eyes cast down as she spoke and she brought up one hand to rest on her arm.

Her eyes snapped up at the flash of bag in her view. "I'm sorry..." Her voice was soft as she took a step back to avoid the girl. Her own moments felt sluggish but she still moved swiftly.

Terra's eyes looked up at the young girl. She was sure she had seen her around town before but she couldn't place it and it didn't seem very important.

Vyers was going for a walk around town, as he often did these days. He did not have a particular destination in mind, but it certainly felt good to stretch his legs after spending a month stuck in bed recovering.

As he walked around, he soon spotted Terra nearby. A smile came into his face, but that soon faded when he got a little closer. He could tell something was wrong from her body language, alone. Had something happened.

"...Terra? Are you alright?" he said softly, going over to her.

"It won't be. I assure you", he said giving her a smile. It was a very sad day when he went back in time to see what happened in Fayren that day. But Gabriel can't deny the brimming light in Terra's spirit. A part of him, the archangel part, pitied the girl, just as he pitied the Winchester boys.

"Chocolates are best to be shared. And well, I don't have my dog here. You know, man's best friend.", he shrugged. "I guess I was just looking for a friend.

He noticed that she had stopped and he had done the same and turned to face her. He followed her gaze skyward and nodded. "It's been a while since I felt it. Maybe it's time to return back to nature, at least for me, it would offer me some insight to a world that I don't understand."

As a boy, he used to listen to the rain whenever he felt alone and found solace in the weather. To him, it meant the world was alive and not just a place to live. "The world speaks through the rain. At least, that's what I believe." He lowered his gaze and gave a small, quick smile.

He pauses for a moment arms crossed over his chest. She wasn't happy he could at least tell that much, but he didn't quite know the reason why she was.

"Did something happen? I mean you don't need to talk if you don't want to."

She looked up as her arms circled her fragile form. Once she caught sight of Vyers she felt her heart break. He had probably done the most to help her and she was a danger to him. She shook her head and silently turned away from him.
