[ Today, you are having a perfectly normal day. Perhaps you are on your way to the battle dome. Perhaps you're walking home along the path. Perhaps you're in the middle of town. Or perhaps you're heading further north.

If you're anywhere along this meandering south-to-north route, a young girl is going to slam into you at a full tilt. She's very sorry; she didn't see you there. But she's got this sense of absolute panic she can't quite shake, and she wants to get home right this moment.

In her disorientation, she has, of course, forgotten she can access magical portals of darkness. Forgive her; after all, she spent rather a long time here without them! And who wants to be messing about with the forces of darkness when they are too panicked to think straight?

Anyway, she may slam into you so hard that you both fall over. Or maybe she'll just knock you off balance. Either way, there is now a very startled, dazed, and still somewhat panicked teenager staring at you with wide eyes. She's barefoot, and her dress is dirty, but she seems otherwise alright. What will you do? ]

[ She shakes her head with a smile. ] Well, how far away are we, anyway?

[dragoneer]

Oh, it's not far. Just down near the rec center. B-but really, you don't have to. It's okay.

Right... [ She still remembers the house number he told her. The truth was -- is -- that she still hadn't quite gotten her bearings yet. Whatever the Malnosso did to her to panic her so badly is still wearing off... ]

Well, what if I want to? I don't mind.

[dragoneer]

[He gives her one more uncertain look, before handing her one of the bags he's carrying. If she really wants to...]

Okay. If you're sure.

[ She hugs it to her chest, grinning. ] I'm sure! Lead the way. [ Though, after a moment, her curiosity will get the best of her. ] By the way... what's all this for? [ It seems like a lot! ]

[dragoneer]

[He glances over at her as he walks.] Oh? Well, I just like to, um, cook. So I kind of...get a lot of things so I can experiment. Otherwise I end up making dozens of trips to the grocery.
