[video | action open to Heimdall]

[whatagoodgirl]

I... I don't understand...

[The small, slender Japanese girl with the high ponytail and downtilted eyes might be familiar to some. She's standing in front of Heimdall House with a newcomer's letter in her hands, dressed in the same uniform as the first time she arrived, but it doesn't quite fit right anymore - she's gotten taller since she made it, started to fill out a little. At least in Asgard, which proves that she hasn't been completely reset.

The confusion on her face starts to contort into alarm as her words confirm that truth.]

Isn't - it over? I remember Freyr - when he - wasn't that the end? But now it's like none of it ever happened... the letter, and the maid, and everything looks just like the first time...

[And now edging into panic as she leans against one of the house's walls, wrapping her arms around her middle and shivering.]

What's going on?!

((ooc: and the thing is done ;D))

No, no, it's okay... [Flustered, she manages a smile for him to try and stop the flood of apologies.] It's really okay. I'd rather be here than nowhere.

Besides, there - there still must be work to do. More work than ever, if the city is this grey again. Do you know - ? [What happened. Why they're here. How Asgard is still alive, yet still only half-alive.]

Ah, a lot has happened, so it's kind of complicated. I've been having a hard time trying to keep up lately, so I'm afraid I'm not as good a source of information right now as usual.

[That's only partially true, actually. But it's not that Gau is lying intentionally so far as that he can't think how to condense the information in a way that wouldn't be overwhelming, and he has been somewhat distracted with trying to become stronger too.]

But there's definitely still work to do.

It's okay... I know lots of people who always know what's going on. [A smaller, more quiet smile, with a hint of nerves behind it. As long as Conan is still here...]

How have you been, Gau? How - how long have I been gone?

[teacuptarget]

Ah, time here...

[He's frowning now, then shaking his head.]

It's been about a month I think. I should have put it in my notes, but I didn't really know... there are so many things going on and so many people and...

[He's having to face the fact he can't keep track of everything, not in a place like this. He doesn't like it much at all.]

I'm a little overwhelmed by everything, but all right.

[whatagoodgirl]

Hey. [She smiles gently.] I know, trust me. It's hard to figure everything out. I think - it's best just to try and be happy, when you can, and work hard to help everyone else who's in the same position. That can make you feel more satisfied even when you don't have all the answers.

[teacuptarget]

Hey, you're not supposed to be making me feel better, when you were the one upset!


[Pause.]

I guess I think what I'm good for in my world... there are a lot of people here who are better at that. So I'm just trying to get along and not worry about things too much, until I'm sure what the right course of action is.

But, Nakama-chan... I'm really happy to see you. Even if there's nothing I can do.

[whatagoodgirl]

Everybody's got a place here, don't worry. Everyone can help. I never would've thought I'd be helping to heal sick and hurt people, but it's the best job for me when we've got to fight, so it's what I do.

... oh gosh, I'm doing it again, aren't I? [She blushes a little.] It's really good to see you too, Gau. I'm sorry I couldn't help you settle in more.

[teacuptarget]

You are doing it again.

[He's still smiling though.]

It's okay. I like that about you. I think I must have always liked that about you.

[He pauses, then shakes his head.]

Hey, Nakama-chan, when you feel up to it, let's train together again, okay? I definitely want to.
