Maki - We had inally arrived at the Con that Shy had talked about, and I was really confused. 'To just relax', she had said...I looked around nervously; there were so many people! I winced slightly as I half-walked, half-limped around. I was wrapped in bandages still, since I was still sort of hurt.
I tried to shrink into the background. I felt like people were staring at me...They were so odd! They were dressed in such weird costumes, too...
I couldn't help but smile to myself, though. Everyone looked to happy! All of the halfers looked so calm and relieved, and it made me glad. There was just one person I couldn't see...
"Lookin' for someone, Maki?" a calm, amused voice asked from behind me.
I jumped about a foot in the air as I whirled around to see Pierce about three inches away from my face, bending down a little to match my height. I yelped, almost falling over.
He caught my arm and steadied me, "Yo." he grinned, flashing me a peace sign.
I gave him a half-hearted withering look, then giggled, "Hi, Pierce!" I chirped, his carefree grin was infectious.
He stepped into pace with me, "How's it going?" he asked, his hands interlaced behind his head as he walked.
I shrugged, smiling, "Everything's fine. This is pretty fun!" I gestured around.
He nodded, "Yeah. A definate improvement from how things were going before, huh?" he beamed at me, "No psycho wolves attacking everything with a pulse, no random, sort of, half, almost betrayals...I'm okay with this."
I nodded enthusiastically, "Mhmm!!" I looked over Pierce, he looked so much calmer than he had before. That was really refreshing--I loved it when Pierce smiled happily!
Pierce hummed thoughtfully, smiling to himself. I grinned, I hoped this peace lasted.
