[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(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.

[nilhilistic]

How oddly dramatic. Did you murder every last Yeul to exist?

( video )

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

It is the truth. (Her existence is...or rather was...interesting.) Every other Yeul is bound to the darkness. I am the only one that was freed.

[nilhilistic]

I never said it wasn't, merely that it was dramatic. It is also an assumption that people know what you're talking about.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

Forgive me. I am unaccustomed to speaking to...others. (Outside of... Nope. This Yeul is brand new and shiny.)

[nilhilistic]

There is no need for apologies either.

To answer your quest, no I have not heard of this Noel. Perhaps someone has. It is a large place. But it is possible no one has and you will need to . . . accustom yourself to this world.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(She tries not to feel saddened by the news. Have they really been separated again?)

By accustom, you mean come in out of the cold. (She is walking, at least, searching for shelter.) I'm not dressed for snow.

[nilhilistic]

[ ah, one of those. with little to no world experience. rafal can never fathom how they ever survive. ]

No. That is not what I meant.

You will need to understand dialogue. And not take things so literally. Get used to speaking with others.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(She technically has none, but in her memory, she has lived many lifetimes. All of them rather sheltered. All of them brief.)

I am listening. May I ask, how will I know when you are being literal or sarcastic?

[nilhilistic]

A person's tone of voice will give that away. When a person enunciates strongly, that is usually a sign of sarcasm.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I still think I should find shelter. (Conversation lessons aside.)

[nilhilistic]

Is there none where you are?

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

I saw some...but I wasn't sure I could enter. (Breaking and entering seems like a bad idea. But so does freezing, so...)

[nilhilistic]

Foolish. You should have done so if it meant your security.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

People deserve to feel safe in their homes. (Then again, Yeul is about as scary as a kitten.)

[nilhilistic]

I'm going to give you an example of sarcasm. Listen carefully.

"Because they would feel so threatened of a little girl."

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(She blinks.)

I'm not threatening. (Compared to almost everyone, she is pocket-sized.) Should I knock?

[nilhilistic]

Precisely. Yes, go knock and get yourself warm.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(Yeul nods and goes to the nearest door, knocking.)

Will you stay with me? (In case she is kidnapped.)

[nilhilistic]

[ rafal pauses, uncertain. it's never a good idea for anyone to rely on him. but what else could he do.

he sighs. ]

Yes, fine. If you want, I'll even come meet you. If that settles your nerves.

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(Rafal, you are nicer than you let on and Yeul definitely needs human lessons. She has been the Seeress for too damn long.)

Yes. Come meet me.

[nilhilistic]

Send me a picture of your location. I'll be there shortly.

[ he considers lecturing her on caution but he gets the feeling it would be a waste, especially when he's the stranger right now. he sighs, getting his dragonstone ready. he'll have to fly there as a dragon if he wants to be there quickly. ]

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(She sends a few pictures and thankfully the building she is entering is an apartment building.

Yes, she knocked. Awkward~)

Did you get them?

( video > action )

[nilhilistic]

Yes, I did.

[ and that's his last response as he takes to the skies, a large black dragon with pink frills. he flies over the world, high above before he spots the location and begins his descent a few metres away. he doesn't know how she feels about dragons and it's best not to add to her distress.

the cold doesn't bother him as he trudges through the snow, grumbling to himself for doing this, there were plenty of other, better equipped and kinder people . . .

he squints, looking around. ]

Yeul?

( action )

[paddra_nsu_yeul]

(Dragons probably wouldn't faze her since she literally saw the end of her world (multiple times), but his thoughtfulness is appreciated.

Yeul waves to him from in front of the apartment building, wearing...

A short skirt, a sleeveless top, boots and... Well, at least she has long hair? That's almost good for warmth.)

I'm over here.

[nilhilistic]

[ yeah, that would explain it. rafal sighs. ]

Did anyone there offer you a jacket?
