[ Nara... It was only a matter of time before he finally branched out here. The scenery was unlike anything he's ever seen before. While Kyoto and Tokyo had shades of Wutai (as far as he could tell), Nara felt like something you'd hear about in a book. Which, technically, is exactly where he learned about this city. No fear of heights, he's found himself fortunate enough to not have the ayakashi swarming him. ...save for a pair of Arukibake, one small enough to sit on the front of his boot as he walked. The other one tags along close behind him. The memories of Nibelheim and other revelations that came with them have admittedly weighed on his mind...but perhaps most ayakashi keep their distance, if only out of his own sheer will to keep looking ahead and moving forward.
Not to mention, since coming to this world? He didn't feel quite so lonely anymore- a myriad of reasons that also dance around in his head, only for a voice to cut through the fog and help him see more clearly. ]
Huh?
[ Cloud blinks, staring down at the little ayakashi this woman presents to him. Then he notices the others. So many... The blond swordsman shrugs before extending his hand out. Normally, he would have declined, maybe stuck around for a moment before he left her alone. After all, he's never seen this person around (granted he's never been to Nara.) But seeing all the arukibake, and how the little one in her hands hops on over to him, and up his right shoulder, ]
Got a couple of my own. [ He feels a compulsion to stay. ] You okay?
[ Because 10 of them...well. 9. Share the angst. ]
