An Emotional Experience

((OH HI))

Ramira gulped as she opened the door for the first time in months. Peeking out, she almost shied away from the light. Why had she kept herself shut up inside for so long? All alone? The Shiny Zorua scolded herself mentally and stepped outside, closing the door behind her. Sheepishly, she pulled up her hood and started walking through the streets (or roads, I dunno). Ramira tried avoiding eye contact with anyone she passed, worried they'd draw attention to her which could lead to.. She didn't know. She just knew it would be bad. With a sigh, she exited the particular area she was in and directed herself towards a secluded area. However, her easy and quick stroll was interrupted by her running into a certain someone...

(Wb)

Deimos, after his most recent trip back to Pricklemist on a certain hunting expedition had found himself returning to the town of Grassveil. Naturally he detested the overly crowded nature of such area's, hence his reasoning for avoiding them generally. He understood however that he'd need to at least acquire a means of writing up a certain 'Something'... Something he couldn't share the details of just yet.

He found himself walking through the busy town, keeping his head relatively low as he glanced throughout the crowds of people, hovering around structures constantly. With such a swarm of beings happening to be active at once he didn't favour his chances, as of such he turned back as if to head back out of the town, hoping that in time it'd die down.

As he turned away, he felt a familiar form brush past his side, it's very imprint on the ground exceedingly familiar. He took a moment to glance to the figure, however as soon as he saw the different of colour from what he expected, he came to a complete halt. His breathing ceased and eyes widened, rapidly closing and 're opening as if trying to affirm if what he saw was true... after such a misty environment it was possible his sight had gone astray.

That form and colouration seemed so similar... But... What he had saw in his nightmares... His "premonitions"... Could it have been wrong? Or was it possible it hadn't happened yet and he would have a chance to stop it? He honestly didn't know, nor did he understand how to act on the situation... It could just be a different one and he was reacting over nothing, after all.

Ramira paused and blinked. "..Deimos?......Is..Is that really you?" She turned around and looked at him, tears forming in her eyes. "Oh my Arceus, I'm sorry.." The Zorua took a weary step forward. Had she really run into him, but rejected his existence after being locked up for all that time? Ramira started to cry.. She had rejected one of her closest friends for months without knowing it. This made her feel extremely bad, and she had the urge to hug him. For a very long time.. The Zorua took another weary step forward.

As he had already Came to a screeching halt, when the Shiny Zorua spoke up... He wasn't out of earshot or overwhelmed by the rest of the noise emanating from the populace. She used his name specifically... And her voice... It truly was her. Deimos for the moment was still somewhat in the equivalent of shock... Of all the places and times... Why now, only once he had taken measures to hopefully discover her location and fate.

Intending not to let the situation merely go by, he looked down at the Zorua and managed to smile softly. Seeing the tears run down her face however... It wasn't right. immediately moving to the side, he wanted to take matters somewhere more... Quiet. They had much to talk about, he couldn't just leave her like this.

"Yeah... It's me" The Absol spoke, motioning with his tail that he wanted to move away from the crowds of the town... They needed to talk for certain.

She smiled through the tears and followed, wondering why he was motioning for her to get away from the crowd and follow him. With a mental shrug, she told herself it wasn't an insane thing, as this was Deimos and not some random stranger. Ramira pulled down her hood, because she didn't need it up anymore. The Zorua leaped forward so she would be able to walk next to the Absol. "So... Has it been somewhat stressful while I've been gone..? I didn't want to desert you, or anything.. I suddenly just kinda.... I don't know.." Ramira trailed off.

Deimos walked away from their previous position, intending to try and get to at the very least the outskirts of the Town, away from prying eyes and overly curious ears... He could tell from her tears that something was wrong. He was taking this rather seriously... Was something threatening her? Harming her? Was that behind why she was so teared up? He didn't know for certain... He had to get to the bottom of this.

"I'll explain when we're away from those who'd rather pry in the personal lives of others... That and... It's a little too noisy for my tastes" Deimos spoke, intending only to mention his fears and the hellish nightmares he had while she was away for so long. He wanted to handle all of this alone without others apart from her... He couldn't let the past repeat itself and he lose another loved one.
