(Yeul is standing in the snow, yet it doesn't seem to bother her. She stares at her communicator and then expels a foggy breath.)

This isn't where I wish to introduce myself. (Somewhere warm would be nice.) I seek a man named Noel. Is there anyone here by that name?

(She lays a hand against her chest.)

I am Yeul. (One of them anyway.) The last Yeul who will ever exist.

Every Yeul has died young. I would like to experience what it's like to be older.

To be grown and have a house of my own.

[nilhilistic]

A job would help you earn money and you can purchase a house. It will take time but it is feasible.

[ no clue about the last part. he gets the feeling she wasn't human before but she is now. it shouldn't prove too hard to fit in. ]

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I'm not sure what I can do. (Yeuls of the past have been able to sing and dance. Maybe she should start there?) Do people like the arts in this city?

[nilhilistic]

I see no reason why they wouldn't. We had an arts festival not long ago in the Autumn district.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

Did you attend it?

[nilhilistic]

. . . I did. It was my first and I found it entertaining and pleasant.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

Then I hope you come to see my art when I am prepared.

[nilhilistic]

If you want me to.

For now, let's find you a place to stay first.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I do.

(Why? They are obviously friends. Yeul walks to the apartment building and lets herself in. No knocking this time. Look at her learning~)

I think I want a room on the top floor.

(So she can look for flying dragons.)

[nilhilistic]

[ it's not that obvious to rafal, but he doesn't have much experience or luck in that area. ]

The top floor? I think there are some available. Why?

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I want to see dragons. (OBVIOUSLY.)

[nilhilistic]

. . . I think you're vastly overestimating the number of dragons here.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

Then I will look for one. (Him. She walks to the front desk to peek at the available spots.)

[nilhilistic]

[ rafal huffs, sardonic. ]

Or you may change your mind once you meet a few more.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

Why? (Yeul is pretty stubborn if he couldn't tell.)

[nilhilistic]

[ so is he and he'll give no leeway into . . . friendship. better to let it die on the vine than to ripen. ]

If you are, as you say, the last Yeul, then you owe it to yourself to be open to change.

There is no point in clinging simply because I am the first.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(That's sad.)

If I want to see others, doesn't that mean you left a good impression?

[nilhilistic]

I suppose it does. What of it?

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I want to look. (She chooses a room near one end of an upper floor.)

[nilhilistic]

Do whatever you want.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I will. (Because.) Let's go upstairs.

(She goes to an elevator and pushes the button.)

[nilhilistic]

[ rafal huffs lightly but he follows. might as well see this through until the end. ]

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(The journey is normal, yet Yeul looks excited, examining everything. When they reach the right door, she opens it with a key and hurries inside.)

I can really stay here?

[nilhilistic]

They gave you a key, did they not? That should be clear enough.

[ rafal stays near the doorway. he doesn't step inside. ]

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I've never had a home. (A normal one anyway. She was usually on the move in her various lifetimes, attending to her duties.) What are these?

(Modern appliances work how?)
