Kumizu made his way back to the point where they had split up, the escalator. He could barely see over everyone's heads, and even still hadn't found anyone. Once he got to the escalator, however, he finally saw the top of Keilantra's head. He didn't want to wait for the slow machines to reach the bottom, nor did he want to stand in a huge crowd. So, he jumped.
He jumped from the second floor, right next to the escalators. As he was falling, a surge of water appeared seemingly from the floor and hit Kumizu. It slowed him down enough so that he could land safely on the ground. People around him were wet and shocked. He walked over to Keilantra. "Where is Eri?"

"Ohh... I see..." said Eden, leaning forward and thinking. "Hmm... well, that explains a lot, I guess... hmm..." She leaned back and crossed her arms. "Hnh... well... I guess we just need to keep you around Kumizu! I mean, the only way you can get used to something is to keep on doing it, right? Wait.. that came out wrong..." she paused.
"Okay... well about how to act around him... act the same around him as you do around us! Just forget he's a guy and think of him as a girl! It might be hard, but it might make things easier!" she suggested, grinning at Eri.

She smiled and nodded. "I like that idea alot. I think I'll try that."Eri sighed. "But what if he's upset with me for running away?"She imagined Kumizu yelling at her and winced. Yelling really made her ears hurt.

"Sorry about scaring you, but you do know where she is?" That's a start. As for staying there... Kumizu didn't want to. He wanted to know why Eri was scared of him, but he also knew jumping in on her, like he'd done with Keilantra, would spook her just as much. He scowled, but said, "Okay. I'll stay."

"Ok...I'll be right back."Keilantra sighed and started to walk back over to the bench.She walked slowly and slouched alittle, her hands were in her back pockets and she brushed the hair away from her eyes.As she returned she gave an akwark smile and sat down."So what did I miss?"

Eden thought for a few minutes. "Well... knowing guys, he's probably more confused than anything..." She leaned forward again and looked Eri in the eyes. "So, don't do anything. If... when he asks, tell him that you panicked. You don't have to tell him all of it, if you don't want to, but don't lie to him either. That's a surefire way to lose him," she said, nodding.

Eri took in what Eden had said and thought it over. "You're right. I feel so much better now. Thank you so muc for the advice."She smiled, her mind more at peace now.Suddenly her attention turned to Keilantra, who had just come back."Welcome back to our circle of trust." She giggled."Where is Kumizu?"

Keilantra gave a groan and lowered her head.'This is getting rather annoying...going back in forth like this..'She turned around and looked up then said in a kinda frustrated voice."I'll go get him...."She hurried over to Kumizu and all she said wad."Come on!"

Keilantra hadn't even come that close to him, just shouted and expected him to follow. When Kumizu got back with her to the group, Eden and Eri were already sitting down on a bench. A million questions had been running through his head since she'd run out of the furniture store; among them, What's wrong with you?, What the hell is going on?, Who are you?, I really am that scary?, and others. He took a breath and decided on one. "Are you okay?"

Eden grinned mischeiviously. "Mmm... Kei-chan? Can I talk to you for a bit?" she asked innocently, gesturing to a space near the other two, but far enough that the conversations would be private.

When he appeared before her from the mass of people, she tried her best not to freak out again.Eri took a deep breath. 'Focus girl! Remember what Eden told you!' She smiled at Kumizu and this time it wasn't a small smirk or a shy grin, but a real smile."I'm alright now. Nervous break down you would call it.I'll be okay."

Keilantra gave her a look and stood up."Uh...sure..."Shhe said while walking over to the area.She already figured what Eden was up too but went along with it, hoping they didin't notice.

As soon as they were out of earshot, Eden spun around, grabbed Keilantra's hands, and started jumping up and down. "It worked! It worked! She's not going to freak out anymore! I hope..." she said, and stopped jumping. "Do you want to hear what happened?" she asked, dropping Keilantra's hands and sitting down on a bench nearby.

"That's good." He nodded.
Kumizu was confused, however, about the fact that Eden and Keilantra had left them alone. He didn't even notice them leave until... they had already left. They're somewhere nearby, I'm sure. Maybe I should be looking for two boys. "Um... is there something you needed to talk to me in private about?"
