wanna buy some illusions?

Hanako · 08-31-2020, 10:41 AM

Ruri croaked in warning as the stranger approached and took roost up in the closest palm tree, leaving Toshi to glare after her with a look of pure and utter betrayal. Hanako on the other paw didn't see what all the fuss was about and turned to greet the stranger, an easy and welcoming smile already gracing her pretty features. Her companions were a little cagey about strangers, considering that they were so far from home, but the Wraith found it kind of endearing that they were so insistent on looking out for her, even if it was all rather unnecessary. Sure, it could have been a loner, dangerous and unpredictable but they weren't far from Valhalla she assumed that- Oh. What were the chances? She'd only just been thinking of Nolan and there he was, standing before her like a desert mirage. She blinked, worried that he'd be gone when she opened her eyes but there he remained, smiling as if he couldn't be happier to see her. All sense of propriety dropped from her form as she charged through the water to meet him by the shore, her tail wagging so fast her whole form shook.

Ruri honked in amusement and Toshi stared at Hanako as though she'd let out the loudest belch he'd ever heard, thoroughly unimpressed.

"Nolan! Omigawd it's so good to see you!" She danced on the spot, her excitement running its course before she settled a bit to answer his question. Her response was suitably glum, after all it wasn't just a social call. "Our Reaper just...vanished one day and it's all paws on deck to find her. Sirius sent me this way to ask around and see if anyone had seen her."

Maybe this would be a good chance to ask for a bit more info, to at least find out why Cairo had taken such offence to her presence. Haughty piece of work that he was. At the very least Nolan liked and cherished her company, didn't treat her as though she was evil incarnate for asking some very reasonable questions. His lack of trust still stung, like he would have chomped down on her if he could have cooked up a good enough excuse. Not that it would've saved him from Sirius, but that was neither here nor there.

"I figured we ought to rest a bit before we head back, and I didn't want to overstay our welcome..." She winched at little at that, as if the bruise was still sore and aching. But she was quick to push that aside, eager to be happy and bubbly with him as she'd been last time. "So here we are! What about you? How'd you know I was here, hm?" She moved in close, her brows comically raised. "You been spying on me?"
