[ Only the konyaku. All his friends swear by it. Technically by now, she's probably been introduced to this mysterious strange potato like dish prepared however he liked, but even if she hasn't, she'll have that tenuous faith that not everyone is attempting to set her up for a fall. Axe me no more questions and all in the aftermath that had followed Uzu's attempt at rallying her to his konyaku cause. ]

Mmm. Seems easiest. I could have borrowed a hovercycle from the base, but I didn't want to head back that way.

[ Taking the military driven shuttle into Heropa has been enough. She can get through the rest on her own two feet, no problem. It's what she'd expect anywhere else as it is. ]

[Ladies first, when it comes to leaving a building. Or, really, more like anyone else who doesn't have the keys to lock up first. He's fallen into a routine with it by this point, barely has to look at the lock to slide the key in and turn. He nods, seems to agree that walking is easiest—he walked here, after all. But that's easier when he's relocated to Heropa and doesn't have to go through the unusual commute every time he wants to stop by the shop for any reason.]

Moved in with April when I got out of the hospital. [Casual talk for someone who could casually fall in next to Annie, neither a step behind or a step ahead, equal footing. Gifts get held against his chest, keys plopped back into his front pocket as he offers a muted but honest smile.] So I'm back in Heropa. We can walk together until we have to part ways, if that's all right with you.

[And they can walk in total silence as much as they could walk in conversation, of course.]

[ She's not surprised. April will have had the pleasure of dealing with another disappearance, reappearance, and Will being the mostly-dying party to come back after his time back home. April's been here for long enough to have seen the pattern so often over the years. There's a take it or leave it quality to embracing relationships with all people here. Friends, allies, enemies, lovers, the countless other kinds. Mentors and students...

Annie shakes her head, breathing out. She can see herself exhaling - it's just colder right now in the shade. ]

It's fine.

[ That's it. There's nothing else she feels she needs to say. For her it's easy to walk in quiet, in this too quiet world, with people inside and tucked out of the way for the holiday. Not everyone, but it would never be everyone. Just enough to make the streets seem abandoned at an eerily early time on a weekday.

...Which means that unless there's something he wants to bring up, she'll stay quiet as they walk back toward another part of town. ]
