Probably all of it. It's not a large city at all.

[For N, he's more surprised that he's able to focus on the conversation more than the movement of the Ferris wheel. But every time he's been with Hilda on one, that's been the case.

She certainly brings out a different side of him...]

We'll know where we're going from now on, then. Maybe.

[ She slides a little closer to the window and stares out of it as their car starts to rise into the air. ]

[N nods, and moves closer to the window as well.

Of course this being the festival, the Ferris Wheel is on the island as opposed to down below, but once it raises high enough, quite a bit of the island and the festivities below can be seen, and beyond that under the water, the bubble barrier and the city within.]


Wow...

[ It's ... breathtaking, really. Hilda let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding, eyes wide as she stared down at the place they now had to call their home. ]

It looks amazing down there ....

[ The words came out on that breath she let out, which gave her voice a much softer tone than it normally would have been. ]

[personal profile] unwrittenformula 2013-06-22 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
It really does...

[N's voice was the same hushed tone, and without even really thinking about it, his hand reached out, fingers wrapping around hers again gently.]

[ She can't seem to take her eyes off of the sight below her, so when N's hand reaches to take hers again, she subconsciously responds by curling her own fingers around his in return. It seemed natural ... almost as if their hands were supposed to connect that way all along.

Hilda wasn't thinking about that, though. All she could do was look down at Vatheon from where they were on the ferris wheel and think of how beautiful it all was. ]

[N is the same, staring down at it in quiet awe. He had been on the Ferris Wheel in Nimbasa City hundreds of times, and while he never tired of it, this entirely new view was just breathtaking.

The wheel paused with their car at the top, letting them look down at it all in relative stillness rather than movement.]

[ Hilda would likely look back on this later and feel that it was cliche, but in that moment, it felt as though time had stopped. She and N were in that car, holding hands, looking down at the world they now found themselves in.

Hilda wasn't sure why, but ... something about seeing this world all at once like this only made the fact that she may never return to her own world hit home. Her vision began to blur only moments later, and it brought the realization to her that she had started crying. She was silent about it, tears streaming down her cheeks as she continued to stare out the window.

She didn't know why it had hit her so hard at that point. She had been traveling and away from her home for the past year. She thought she had shaken being homesick ... maybe it was the realization that for the first time in that year, she was now in a place where she couldn't eventually just fly home if she wanted to go.

This could have definitely hit her at a better time, though ... she didn't want to cry in front of N. ]

[N didn't notice her tears at first, mostly because she was being quiet about it. She didn't openly sob, but he did turn to look at her eventually, to try and say something, but her tears made him stop.]

... Hilda?
ourlegends: (тєαяѕ)

[personal profile] ourlegends 2013-06-28 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ She heard him, and didn't want to look at him while she was still such a mess. Hilda worked at wiping her tears away with her free arm. ]

I-I'm okay. Really.

[personal profile] unwrittenformula 2013-06-28 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He didn't have anything that he could wipe her tears away with, so he opted to pull his hand away, only to tug his white shirt off and use the sleeve of it to dab at her eyes after pulling her a little closer.]

Are you homesick?
ourlegends: (∂єναѕтαтє∂)

[personal profile] ourlegends 2013-06-28 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ She can only stare at him as he takes his shirt off and starts to dry her tears with it. It's ... a really sweet gesture. A really, really sweet one. If Hilda could recognize what she was feeling about this at the moment, she'd realize her heart may have just melted a little bit.

She's quiet for several moments, but then, she slumps a bit and nods. ]


I used to be able to just fly home whenever I felt like I wanted to go home ...

[personal profile] unwrittenformula 2013-06-29 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I know... and I'm sorry I can't do anything about that. All we can do is make this place our home for now.

[He knew that wouldn't be much comfort for her, but there was little else he could offer her.]
ourlegends: (gℓαη¢є)

[personal profile] ourlegends 2013-06-30 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She nods and wipes more of her tears away. ]

S-Sorry ... it's just really hard to get used to it. [ She takes a deep, shaking breath and tries to calm herself down more. ]

I'm glad I can be here with you, though ...
unwrittenformula: (pic#6088486)

[personal profile] unwrittenformula 2013-07-01 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
No, I understand completely. I know if I had more of an attachment to my home I would feel the same as you do now.

But I'm glad I can be here for you, since it seems to help...
ourlegends: (gєηυιηє)

[personal profile] ourlegends 2013-07-01 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It does. It really does, N ...

[ She slowly reaches out and takes his hand again, squeezing it gently. She hasn't totally stopped crying yet, but she does manage to look up at him with a small smile. ]
unwrittenformula: (pic#6088493)

[personal profile] unwrittenformula 2013-07-02 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He stops dabbing at her eyes, knowing that even though she hasn't stopped crying completely, she probably will soon.]

Would you like to go home after this... ?
ourlegends: (вє¢кση)

[personal profile] ourlegends 2013-07-05 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ She shakes her head. ]

Let's continue having fun here. Is that okay?
unwrittenformula: (η ≕ 1 + 1)

[personal profile] unwrittenformula 2013-07-05 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
If... that's what you want, alright. We can stay. And have fun.

We need to have some fun, anyway. I think we're both a bit long overdue for it, right? Especially after everything that happened back home ...
unwrittenformula: (pic#6088742)

[personal profile] unwrittenformula 2013-07-06 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I agree.

[He understood how she felt, at least. So, fun day at the fair it was, and bad feelings of any sort could hopefully take a backseat for the time being.]
