Who: Prince Hal
Where: Around the park
When: June 28th
Style: Prose but I'll match
Status: Open!
"Well, if you insist on following me, I suppose I can make an exception this time."
It was a different place, that was for certain. The brochure was ... explanatory enough, though it still left Hal feeling confused and very much out of place. But it was easier to just take it all one step at a time, to not let it overwhelm him, and try his best to just wake up from this strange new reality. He never remembered any of his dreams being so vivid, which was probably not the healthiest way to view this whole situation but- at least he wasn't making a spectacle.
Yet.
The park was a good place to just walk around, take in the scenery, and let himself think. It was such an absurd idea, an underwater city! Definitely a dream. There were a few other people about, gathered in groups or couples and chatting amongst themselves, dressed so strangely that it was only making him feel even more out of sorts. But he tried not to let it show, and at least the ducks were willing to listen to most of his frustrations.
This, however, was a little ridiculous. The small scrap of bread was a meager dinner at best, but the smaller of the ducks had been plenty happy for it. Greedy too, it would seem, having followed Hal away from the pond with the rest of the ducks. The prince had noticed his traveling companion a bit belatedly, and finally stopped to turn around and crouch down to continue their conversation.
"But if I could have your name, it would make further conversations much less awkward for the both of us."
"Quack!"
"... Woodrow?"
"Quack quack!"
"Woodrow then," Hal stood with a nod, gesturing for his new friend to follow him to the nearby fruit trees. "Come, let's get you an apple."

He tips his hat to the both of them by way of taking his leave, actually making eye contact with young Woodrow as he tilts the brim of his jaegar cap. "Until next time, gentlemen."
And off he goes with a sly nod, hands slipping back into his pockets as he winds his way out of the forest and back towards civilization, such as it is. What a weird day...
