(( Well here's a fresh new face on the network. He smiles brightly and waves at the camera as if addressing good friends he hasn't seen in a while. The same hand that waved, cards through his messy dark hair more out of habit than anything else. ))

Hiii~ My name's Will. You can probably guess I'm new here. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this and sorry for being repetitive. I'm looking for someone: a cute fellow Fae with striking blond curls. If you've seen him, could you please let me know? If not, I'll just have to search elsewhere!

Thanks in advance!

(( Another wave, some finger guns, and he cuts the feed. ))

(( His brows furrow and he huffs out a breath through his his nose. ))

Are there no rules that govern this magic??

[hideawayparadise]

There probably are? But I just don't know what they are yet. And I haven't found any texts so far that directly spell it out.

[floralias]

(( Will rocked his head from some to side. That he could understand. If you put something in writing, it would easily fall into hands it wasn't meant for. ))

That part makes sense to me.

[hideawayparadise]

Sometimes it's hard to tell if the histories were lost or if they're hidden away, you know? That's been my experience at least. Admittedly, I haven't been here as long as some others.

[floralias]

We could do some snooping together.

[hideawayparadise]

[That gets a bright smile out of him.]

Snooping with friends is the best kind of snooping!

[floralias]

(( A wide grin broke out across his face and Will bobbed his head in agreement. ))

We'll be in cahoots together!

[hideawayparadise]

But! Not on your first day! You should have the chance to settle in first!

[He laughs a little.]

One more pastry! It's all yours.

[floralias]

I don't mind splitting with you.

[hideawayparadise]

You sure? It's your first day so you should have all the good things!

[But you can see his eyes staring at it too...]

[floralias]

I'm sure.

(( He even slides his hand free of Riley's so he can split the last treat in half. ))

[hideawayparadise]

Well okay. Thanks!

[He accepts the other half, happily humming as he takes that delicious bite of it.]

[floralias]

(( A little grin tugs at his lips just before he took a bite of their last treat. He lets out a loud 'mmm' as he chews it, savoring it most because it's the last. Once he swallows that bite, he beams over at Riley. ))

Is there anywhere else I should try for sweets like this?

[hideawayparadise]

There's so many! I've gone through and explored places for both kingdoms. Just so I can have a sweet shop I can stop at no matter where I happen to need to go!

[Extra? Definitely. But that's just part of who he is.]

[floralias]

(( He chuckled and reached over to pat Riley's hand. ))

That's just like you! Why did I even ask?

[hideawayparadise]

You never know when you're going to need an emergency sweet!

[He says that most seriously. Even if they both know that by emergency he means...all the time.]

[floralias]

Mm. (( Will nods sagely.

Then bursts out into laughter. ))

[hideawayparadise]

[He bursts into giggles too. He hasn't laughed this much in weeks. It feels amazing.]

Have you picked your place to live yet?

[floralias]

Yes! I'm staying in the refugee housing in Nihonbashi until I can find something else.

[hideawayparadise]

You should show me where it is! That way I'll be able to visit in the future.

[floralias]

We can walk there from here.

[hideawayparadise]

Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!

[He's already grabbing his bag off the chair.]

[floralias]

(( Will grabbed his shake to take with him and instinctively held out a hand to Riley. ))

Okay! It's this way.

(( He already grabbed the other Fae's hand and was leading him out the door and toward the refugee apartments. ))

[hideawayparadise]

[Riley smiles so brightly as he's led toward the apartments. Of course he knows where they are but getting to see which one belongs to his friend is another matter!

He's excited to have a new friend. One from his world.]
