Fifth Tale: Fourth Wall Event!

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry Mills is currently walking about the village. Sometimes he can be spotted building another snow man or reading on a bench somewhere. He'll make his last stop at Seventh Heaven for a hot chocolate though. He does look rather confused since it seems there's a lot of new people popping around.

Sora will be doing what Sora does. Probably sleeping somewhere. He can be found anywhere around, outside, on a roof, in a building. He's just napping. Who cares where it is right? Someone want to wake up this lazy bum?

Cross is kind of in his own little world right now. He's just drawing in the snow in the middle of the village. They look like blueprints for something. But, what? After he gets bored of that he can be seen hanging upside down again in a tree. This is becoming a thing apparently.]

[They made it back? So, they would be okay than in the future. He shakes his head though at her question.]

I don't, because I haven't been through it yet.

We're in Luceti though.

[Oh, wait, now he's being spun around.]

Everyone who was taken here gets a pair, except for a lot of the people who showed up today.

[herbestchance]

[Okay. Grandma needs a minute here. She lets go of him, her hands now occupying themselves in spinning her wedding ring around her finger, her typical nervous gesture.]

You... haven't been through it yet? [So many things to try and figure out at once.]

Where exactly is Luceti? And why would being here give people wings? [Thank goodness Henry is a bright kid and can break this down for her. Hopefully.]

[theboywiththebook]

[Just like old times. Henry has to explain everything.]

People come from all different times when they come here. I guess...I guess I'm from the time you guys still didn't get home and you're after that.

But, Luceti is a whole different world. Like the Enchanted Forest. The wings though are what keep us alive here...but why don't you have them?

[His grandma seemed okay...nothing was wrong right?]

[herbestchance]

[<3 Thanks kidlette.]

All right... that makes enough sense. Even if the 'why' can't really be answered.

[She glances at her own back, and then shakes her head.] I don't know. I feel fine though, I seem to be managing without them.

But I wouldn't mind going inside, it's chilly out here!

[theboywiththebook]

Oh, you can come back to my apartment. It's not to far from here!

[Lets just have her sink that in, shall we?]

[herbestchance]

Your apartment? Are you staying with someone?

[Don't be all alone! ;A;]

[theboywiththebook]

No, I've been living by myself.

[Sorry.]

[herbestchance]

[APPALLED.]

By yourself? Oh Henry...

That's not safe.

[theboywiththebook]

I didn't know anyone here...but a bunch of the adults that live on my floor check on me.

Everyone's really nice here too.

[Does that help?]

[herbestchance]

[Helps a little.] As long as you're being taken care of when you need it.

But for now, I'm here with you. So let's get going, shall we?

[theboywiththebook]

Yeah.

[He knew she'd find him, his whole family even.
At that he'll offer his hand to her to take.]

I got hot chocolate back there too.

[Too bad this day would only be a brief moment of happiness for him, until he forgot it all.]

[herbestchance]

[She takes his hand and lets him lead the way. Even if it's just the two of them for now, that's all right.]

Then we can make some of that up for ourselves to get rid of the chill. Got any cinnamon to go with it?

[You never know, she may just come back.]

[theboywiththebook]

[And so they're off on a wonderful adventure to the apartments.]

It wouldn't be hot chocolate without Cinnamon.

[Never have to ask about that, Grandma.

And if so, it would be happy all over again.]
