( the satisfaction of a successful escape is unlike any other; she watches the dark figures fumble around beneath them, clearly thrown off guard by their sudden disappearance, and she snickers, pleased. it's good to have this kind of knowledge — sometimes, a split-second decision to dive into an alleyway might just save your skin, and being aware of what part of the city you're into is always better than aimless wandering.
it's a little hard for her to get used to the layout of his place — a big city like this isn't something she's ever really got to explore. torigoth, the place where she comes from, happens to be the biggest town in gormott — and still, it's barely a quarter as big as this, much less complicated, and, most importantly, not nearly as modern. all the neon lights and all the tiny alleys — all the distracting, bright colors and noises and scents... it's not exactly ideal for her, but she figures she'll get used to it eventually. maybe.
for now, she watches aerith try to make the jump, ready to... dive in, just in case she needs to catch her in mid-air, or something. it takes a certain amount of courage to even leap in the first place — the rift between you and the goal always seems wider, somehow, before you jump. )
Careful! ( she throws in, just in case, watching aerith back up for a running start. a smart decision. still, for a moment, her stomach twists — she watches the other's frame fly over the space without much trouble, though, laughing when she sees the dirt on her cheek. okay, yeah, let's do this —
backing up, too, albeit a little less than aerith, she follows after. the jump is effortless — she is a cat, after all — and she lands on her heels, only swaying once the gravity catches up to her. arms spread wide, she balances on one foot for a moment — before regaining composure and turning to aerith. )
Nice. You're a natural. ( nod, nod. now that they're here, though, she's got no idea where they can go... ) Do you know this part of the city? I've never been here before. ( a small pause, during which she glances down. her stomach is definitely rumbling... everything at the tamamo meet-up smelled weird, so she ended up not eating anything at all, in fear of swallowing something contaminated with drugs. probably a good decision, but she's feeling the weight of it now. )
