{✞} — “Hello—?”

Pallid gray would look across the surroundings, curious and twinkling. How the girl had ended up here, a mystery all of its own, one that Ruby was sure wouldn’t be able to be solved any time soon.

Digits curling inwards slightly, hands half closed as she walked along crimson soles, Ruby searched for any sign of help. A person, a directory. Anything to tell her exactly where she’d ended up.

“Is anyone around?”

The rose wasn’t frightened, per say. More intrigued and perhaps slightly worried. After all, how would she be getting back to her team?

“Where am I—?”

         Walking along one of the pathways of Radian Garden, she was glad for its emptiness. It made it easier to find her way from place to place without being questioned, though it wasn’t like she particularly stood out there. It was one thing to stand out in a world where everyone was extravagantly dressed, but in a simple white dress she slipped right by anyone who happened to be out during that time.

         As she turned onto another walkway that was between the buildings of the world that was trying to rebuild itself into what she supposed was its former glory, she paused and took a slight step back. Someone was there, which wasn’t unusual in and of itself—people lived there, after all—but the girl who was standing there looking around seemed lost. Given, Naminé couldn’t really be sure, but the way she was standing, looking around, and speaking kind of tipped if off.

         With a measure of caution Naminé made her way towards the dark haired girl, instinctively knowing that she had to help somehow. Otherwise, the stranger might be stuck there for a while, and while there were people in Radiant Gardens who knew about the existence of other worlds and how to traverse them, a large part of her doubted that they could get a way to get the girl back to where she belonged quickly. Gummy Ships were one thing, but portals were another.

         ”This is Radiant Gardens,” the blonde said carefully as she got close enough, but stopped a rather safe distance away. Though the girl did not immediately appear to be a threat, there was no knowing for sure. ”Are you lost?”
