vatheon | A Mini Adventure to the Island!~

Who: Selphie and Izumo
When: Backdated to Saturday afternoon, and after her emo anon text.
Where: Up to the Island!
Style: Whichever you like best!
Status: Closed!

So Izumo had friends who'd gone home and he'd said that hanging out with her would help. Despite the fact that she could count on both hands the number of her friends who had disappeared lately, Selphie was only happy to make others happy. Sure, she'd posted that thing with her text, and in some ways she still felt pretty horrible about the whole thing. But so many people had replied, even though they didn't know who had written it, and her fellow residents seemed keen to convince her that having friends and maintaining happy relationships on all levels was important. Izumo had been one of the people to reply to her text too, and though he said he was grateful for the bubble, she felt a little guilty given that he'd had an experience of a disappearance so recently.

Regardless, Selphie turned up at the time that she was supposed to, waiting for Izumo by the elevator. He'd never been up to the island, so Selphie had to be sure that he enjoyed his first trip. He'd said all she needed to bring was a blanket, and sure enough she held over her arms a large red fleece quilt. The weather had been warm lately, so she was dressed accordingly in a yellow sundress. A bag hung over her shoulder, with an extra flask of tea, and some sunglasses just in case. Now all she had to do was wait, since she'd made an effort not to be late, so she stood hugging the blanket to herself, humming gently to herself as she looked around the plaza.

Izumo arrived shortly after, not leaving Selphie to wait long, at all. He smiled and gave a wave as he walked up towards the elevator. He was dressed more casual than his usual working-at-the-bar attire - casual pants, a t-shirt, black cardigan, and even though it was getting a bit warmer out, he still wore one of his signature pieces, a scarf draped around his neck.

A bag was in his hand, predictably containing the lunch he'd promised to pack for them both.

"Hey Selphie. Hope I didn't keep my lady waiting long."

Selphie's attention had been caught by the movement in the corner of her eye, and she turned to see Izumo. She smiled broadly, waving back excitedly. The slight change in his attire was noted - a little different, but it looked good.

Selphie shook her head, "Hi Izumo! Nopes, not long at all." She glanced at the bag in his hand, then towards the elevator, "Ready to see the island?"

"Definitely." Izumo hits the up arrow button to call the elevator. Once it arrives, he gestures for Selphie to enter before him.

As the elevator carries them up and out of the ocean, he leans against the glass, causally glancing at the various fish that swim by. "You're gonna have to be my tour guide. Haven't even been to the beach back home in a long time."

Selphie bows her head in thanks as she passes in front of him and into the elevator. Her eyes are slightly more distracted by the various fish as they got closer to the surface. Even after years living in Vatheon, it still felt like a treat going to the surface.

"No problem! And you've picked one of the best times to come, cause it's getting more and more like spring up there. It's really pretty!" She smiles brightly, and when they get to the top, she all but skips out of the elevator. Then Selphie spreads out an arm in an elaborate gesture, "Welcome to the island, sir!"

Izumo gave a bit of a laugh. It was really cute the way she was playing along with the tour guide role. "Thanks. What exciting things on the list first?" He asked as he stepped off the elevator and followed her along.

He wasn't really sure what to expect up here. A big electric fence set up along the beach to keep them from escaping? No. That certainly couldn't be something Selphie would refer to as 'pretty.' Maybe it was just an ordinary beach.

"First is..enjoying the scenery! Then you may feel free to explore the rest of the island. And there'll be a break for lunch too!" Selphie smiled at Izumo, then turned to begin the short walk to the shore. The first time she'd seen the beach here and the surface of the water, it felt like home, and she was pretty impressed. And not far off in the distance was the greenery that lead to the woods.

When she finally reached the edge of the sand, Selphie turned back to him, hoping to see that he was enjoying the island so far, "Whaddaya think?"

Izumo followed Selphie along, eventually joining her at the water's edge.

"Wow. Don't think I've seen the beach like this in awhile. Been stuck in the big city too long."

There's a pause as he just takes in the scenery. The sounds of the water lapping at the sand, the slight breeze, and the bright shimmer of the water as the sun reflected off the peaks of the waves.

"It's nice."

Selphie was gazing out across the water, and she nodded in agreement, "I love it up here." Then she turned to Izumo with a smile, before watching the water and keeping quiet. She figured it'd be nice to just let him enjoy the scenery in peace for a moment or two.

But eventually she'd be distracted by a shell or two on the sand, and she'd pace over to pick them up and have a look.

Izumo's mind drifts off a bit. Just thinking about this strange place they'd been dragged to. Sure he missed the boys back home, and his old bar, and a certain blonde haired woman, but getting to spend time with Mikoto when such a thing should not even be possible anymore...

He snaps out of it after a minute or two, noticing Selphie had wandered a bit. He catches up to her, peering over her shoulder at the shells she cradled in her hands. "Sorry I drifted off there. Ya wanna spread the blanket out? Have lunch?"

Selphie turned back to Izumo with a smile, glancing down at the shells in her hands before looking back up at him kindly, "Don't worry. You looked like you were happy to drift."

She sifted through the stuff in her hands, and chose one particularly pretty shell. The rest go back on the beach, but the pretty shell goes towards Izumo, "Yeah, sure!" Once he takes it from her, she can spread out the large red blanket, somewhere further up where the sand is firmer.
