xxxxIt had rained profusely come the start of the morning but had let up when the day reached the afternoon. Everything appeared slick and shiny due to the down poor. Fog also floated about the atmosphere, misting the area with a low, white blanket. Grazie squeaked down the street, her galoshes crying heavily with each step. Her hands were shoved into the pockets of her rain coat while her mouth chewed casually on the hard end of a lolly. Her eyes appeared half-lidded, like usual, while she traveled down the street.
xxxxHuffing out a bored sigh, the bamboo herald stopped from a moment.
xxxx"Getting home'll be a lot quicker if I take the other way . . . " she thought while her eyes scanned the horizon, which was littered with trees. "Yea, if I go the shorter way . . . Yea . . ."
xxxxLooking up, Grazie was met with a terrible obstacle. Unfortunately, the gate surrounding the forest to keep everything nature out was tall even though Grazie herself had some good height on her. Sighing again, the herald curled her fingers on the grey gating and hoisted herself up. She pulled herself up for a small until she reached the top and flung a leg over. However, her leg swung over the top too harshly and she tumbled to the ground below. To make matters even worse, she landed into a sloppy pile of mud.
xxxxGrazie grunted as she felt some pain in her back and something squirm on her face. Picking off whatever it was, Grazie's half lidded expression returned as she nodded her head at the worm that was on her.
xxxx"Hello." she greeted. "Having trouble, huh?"

Of course, it figures that the mechanic would have car problems. So Lind was stuck walking home. His umbrella thumped against his leg as he walked, not quite minding the small bit of drizzle that was falling occasionally. He walked along to the beat of the music he was listening to, not quite thinking about where he was going, having had to make this walk quite a few times and knew it practically be heart by now.
Of course, little girls scaling fences were generally out of the ordinary. And ones that fall into the mud even more so. The headphones were pulled off and hung around his neck as he walked over to the fence, resting his arms along the top of it and his chin on his arms.
There are benefits to being tall.
"Think you might be the one having trouble, eh?"

xxxxGrazie fixated her green eyes towards the voice that had spoken. She gave a small 'hmmph' as she stood up, growled at the drying mud on her and threw the worm to the side to makes its way back into the Earth.
xxxx"I guess so." the herald replied without much complaint. "Well, mister Godzilla . . . care to help me out of here? I could use the assistance, y'know."
xxxxA small wind billowed the trees and caused some rain to flutter into the bamboo angel's face. She wiped her pale skin clean of the sky's residue and sighed inwardly. It was just her luck. Sheldon had always warned her never to talk to strangers (considering this one did look a little . . . odd), but he was the only one willing to offer the help she needed.

Lind hooked his feet into the bottom of the fence, giving himself an extra few inches of height so he could reach over the fence easier. Mister Godzilla. That's a new one. "Sure, sure..."
Both of his hands reached down to the other side of the fence so she could grab on and get pulled back over.
And hey.
Hey.
That was uncalled for.
He's not that odd looking. Is he? Besides. She doesn't have any room to talk. Green hair and bamboo sticking out of her back and all.

xxxxAs Grazie was lifted to freedom, she presented her mundane expression and stared up at Mister Godzilla. She'd have to grant thanks somehow and the herald only knew of giving it through material reward and nothing more. Beckoning him with the wave of her hand, she pursed her lips.
xxxx"C'mon tall dude, do you want something to eat? My pops makes really good bacon, if you like bacon . . . I mean."
xxxxGrazie had abandoned all horrendous thoughts about the other now (considering he rescued her and all), but something seemed odd about him. Was he just like her? It was sort of hard to tell, considering she had giant wooden stalks protruding out her back.

The girl was set onto the sidewalk, his hands wiping the mud on them onto his pants. What's a bit of mud on top of oil and grease, anyways? He was about to walk off, but she seemed to want to say something to him first. Hmm. Bacon.
"Bacon is delicious..." His hand moved to rub at his chin thoughtfully, as if there should be a beard there that he should be stroking instead. But sadly, Lind is deprived of facial hair. Such a pity.
Well. He might not be just like her, considering that he wasn't, you know, bamboo-y. But similar, quite possibly. It's kind of hard to tell after awhile if someone is a Herald or just a strange winged person.
