[OPEN LOG]

[esper_magic]

WHO: Terra and OPEN
WHAT: Thunderstorm Stuffs!
WHEN: 9/23
WHERE: Various, ending at Islet 1
WARNING: Excessive Cuteness


Though Terra could smell the moisture in the air indicating that it would rain later, she didn't know -when- and she certainly didn't know how hard. For the better part of the morning, she was exploring the islets, hoping to find something useful, whether it was some wood, fruit or even a prey animal to hunt and catch. However, she was caught fully unprepared for when the storm actually hit, and got caught in the sudden downpour. The heavy rainfall, the growling thunder and flashes of lightning found Terra making a hasty sprint for the nearest mana pool, hair and clothing quickly getting drenched.

Fortunately once she popped through the mana pool with her belongings, she wasn't that far from the shack she had claimed. Islet occupants may be aware of the green haired lass running away from the mana pool towards one of the shacks- though some of her fruit may have fallen out of her bag in the process. Once she was safely home, the door wasn't quite completely closed in her haste to get inside. She'd shut it sooner or later, but first, she wanted to try to dry off. And maybe try to plug some of the leaks in her home so she wouldn't get rained on. As it was her first thunderstorm, she was a bit at a loss and uneasy, but things could be worse, right?

Comments

[esper_magic]

Awww. She gave him a small smile, "Um.. thank you. But why are you nervous? Am I standing too close?" She's got enough space that she wouldn't burn anything. Maybe he was the one not comfortable standing close to people of the opposite sex?

[noctanotheroneout]

"I'm not at all." He was just looking out for her. He created a problem in his mind, based on his own assumptions when it wasn't really a problem. "If you don't mind though. . . ."

The first had already done its job with drying him, and the majority of his pants. He slid down on the ground and leaned back against the wall. Luckily it was sturdy enough that he wasn't afraid of toppling it over and putting them in the same predicament. The weather didn't look like it was letting up either, so that would just....no thanks.

"It's okay if I borrow your floor right?"

[esper_magic]

Aw, that was nice of him to look out for her. She's a little caught off guard when he suddenly slid down into a sitting position. Borrowing her floor though? What an odd turn of phrase. "No, I don't mind at all." She flicked her hands, cancelling the Fire spell once he was settled.

Oddly, it seemed sustaining the spell like that had taken a bit of her energy herself, since the moment the spell ended she felt a wave of dizziness sweep over her for a second, and she leaned back against the wall herself. That.. was weird. She shook her head a little, glancing towards the window instead. "... It sounds like it's coming down even harder." Were his friends going to worry that Noctis wasn't there? "Do you think your friends are okay?" It was pretty nasty out there, hopefully they were indoors.

[noctanotheroneout]

"They're very capable," he assured her. It was just a storm. It was like there were any daemons to go along with it. "Hey, you okay? Making fire like that isn't bad for you isn't?"

Because if that made her feel bad, that was unacceptable. He could've stayed wet.

[esper_magic]

"Allright, good." That's one worry off her mind. Him staying wet though? No no, as far as she was concerned, him staying wet would have been unacceptable. She shook her head, and after a moment slid down into a sitting position near him as well. "No, I just felt..tired all of a sudden. I suppose it's because I haven't used my magic like that before .. but I'm fine, really."

[noctanotheroneout]

"Take it easy then," he replied. "We're not going to freeze to death. And there's the extra jacket if you need it." He leaned forward. "Don't do anything for me if it becomes an inconvenience, Terra."

[esper_magic]

"Don't you need it?" She blinked, caught off guard by the comment. "It's... it's not an inconvenience." She smiled, genuinely appreciative, "I wanted to." She didn't think it could possibly be an inconvenience if someone was cold and she could do something about it. "I'll be fine if I rest a little, that's all."

[noctanotheroneout]

"Yeah I do, but. . . ." How to word this. "I'd just feel bad if I let you go cold, is all." Practicing kingship even at the most basic levels right? Plus is was just good manners.

[esper_magic]

Awww. Noctis actually gets a more genuine smile than her hesitant, half smiles at that. "Well, I would feel the same way." Terra pointed out, before glancing at his jacket. "Keep it. Your shirt is warm enough, so I'll be fine." Well, unless the temperature dropped more, but she would rather shiver than make him go without the jacket.

Still, she couldn't help but wonder if he would be this nice if he knew about her though. She liked him, and she liked Ignis and Prompto. Ignis knew the truth though, and he didn't judge her. It seemed somehow unfair that Noctis and Prompto didn't know. Well, unless Ignis told them. But it wasn't like she was deliberately trying to deceive them or anything.

[noctanotheroneout]

"That puts us in a bit of a conundrum, doesn't it?" he chuckled. Oh well, he couldn't force anything on anybody, and vice versa.

In all truth, he wasn't even sure if Ignis and Prompto knew Terra. It was a small island of course, so eventually people were all going to be aware of each other at some point. Just like he had seen her before, if she knew both of his friends, then it was safe to make the assumption they were friends if she had seen him with either of them.

[esper_magic]

"I'm sorry," she grinned, "A little." But only a little.

At first she had been hesitant to meeting other people on the islets - anywhere, really, but everyone has proven to be so nice. She.. probably still wouldn't be very outgoing, but it was reassuring that there were at least a few people she knew and we comfortable enough to talk to if it came to it. She would definitely pay them visits.

"Maybe we can take turns?" Is that a thing, taking turns on being kingsly -- or polite?

[noctanotheroneout]

"Just let me know when you need a turn then," he said. "If I end up falling asleep, and you need it, just you know...take it?"

And yes, he is known for spontaneous nap time.

[esper_magic]

Terra shook her head, "I'll be fine. I don't feel tired right now." It's not her intent to fall asleep next to him anyway - but nature has other plans, apparently. "I'll be quiet if you do fall asleep." So she won't disturb him.

[noctanotheroneout]

"With the rain like it is, I'm sure we'll both asleep eventually." He wouldn't worry about it. "Unless you want to stay awake, then we get to play that game of finding an activity to keep us that way."

Totally innocent activities.

[esper_magic]

She was a little skeptical of that, but she'd be proven long soon enough. More importantly, she was intrigued by the suggestion of totally innocent activities. "Game..?" Yeah, she's never played games. She thinks. "How do you play something like that?" Finding an activity.. hrm.

[noctanotheroneout]

"You don't have a deck of cards do you?" That's it, that's all his brain could come up with. Innocently at least. He didn't have it. He considered asking the storyteller for some, but at the same time was apprehensive. He didn't want to use a request for something like cards, in case they needed something super important.

[esper_magic]

"Cards..? No, I don't have anything like that." Sorry, Noctis, she's failed you. She could - and probably would - ask for a deck of cards for him though, if she remembers the next time she sees the Storyteller. Something harmless like that shouldn't be an issue, right?

"All I have is.." She paused, trying to remember what she got in her backpack. "A jug of water, a razor, a flint and stone, a hammer and.. um.. OH! A hat with a light on it." Well all that and her personal effects - that being her sword and pendant.

[noctanotheroneout]

"I have no idea," she said with a laugh. He wasn't a very creative person when it came to figuring out stuff to do. When he was bored, he just....well napped. He rubbed the back of his head. "Out of ideas."

[esper_magic]

Boy they were both just hopeless. He wasn't creative and she wouldn't know the first thing about games and hanging out if she wanted. She smiled weakly, "I'm sorry, I'm not much help, am I? I've never done anything like that before." Playing games, socializing. She glanced towards the window, briefly, "I suppose I've never thought about it, actually." The last thing she ever thought about was ways to pass the time. But on nicer days she /did/ go for walks when she was restless. Maybe that counted~?

[noctanotheroneout]

"Never?" Noctis questioned. "Or just that you can remember?" That didn't come as tactful as he had hoped it would be. There was possible a visible wince in his expression. "Sorry, I don't mean to pry."

[esper_magic]

She's about to respond, only to give him a surprised look at the second question. "I..." How much did he know? "Did.. Ignis tell you?" She wasn't accusing, she actually didn't mind if he did - if he did tell Noctis it would have been because he thought it would help, right? Although Terra had kind of wanted to tell him and Prompto herself - maybe. Hiding that kind of information didn't set well with her, especially since she believed these people to be from the same world as her. What with the Empire being active there and all.

[noctanotheroneout]

She knew Ignis? Everyone was apparently good at this tiny island social club except for him. Noctis shook his head. "You said the only thing you remembered was snow or something earlier? Did assume something?"

Noctis was intuitive, but even made mistakes sometimes.

[esper_magic]

And Prompto too! Though it was mostly by chance that it happened. She met Prompto in that dream world since he was on the raft with her, and she stumbled upon Ignis when she was looking for the mana pool. Either way she probably would have met them all eventually since she was only a house or two away. Well, maybe.

"O-oh..." She hesitates slightly, "I thought..." She goes silent a moment, to put her words together. She didn't want to deliberately omit information, but it would probably be better to tell them when they were all together. And maybe Ignis could damage control in case they turned on her.

"My only memory is of my name, and waking up in a strange man's house in a place called Narshe. It's in the mountains, so there was..quite a bit of snow."

[noctanotheroneout]

"That's weird. Did anyone check to see if you had any sort of brain injury or something? An MRI?" Again, a stupid question, for all he knew her world didn't have advanced medical technology. Well, if she didn't he was going to figure that out any moment now.

"Any sort of medical attention?" Of course, she could've been whisked away before any of that could happen. There was a definate look of concern on his face though. They had been here a couple of months already and not having any sort of medical attention for a potential amnesia causing injury wasn't good.

[esper_magic]

"A ..what?" MRI? Yeah no, there wasn't any kind of thing like that. She didn't think that was a concern though,since she knew the reason for her memory loss. Then again she DID hit her head just before coming here so heaven knows that might not have helped any.

"N-no.. nothing like that." Geez, don't give her such a concerned look Noctis. She actually glances away from him for a second. She didn't know why but she felt like she didn't deserve to have him look at her like that. "I ..ended up here shortly afterwards."
