Noemi had been back on the Island now for a little less then two weeks, but falling back into rhythm was very hard to do. She didn't know anyone as much here, everyone she had, had left or was....
YOUNGER.
She was still shook about Lex becoming a 15 year old boy and part of her just clutched at her chest. What if Milo had done the same? Lex hadn't remembered her at all, so that would mean Milo wouldn't and...and...
For the first time in a long time, she desperately missed the power ranger hunter, gripping her notebooks closer to her chest. Milo had been amazing at calming her nerves, being her rock in the island that was constantly changing. Now she was just....
Not sure what she was suppose to do with herself, or how to pull herself out of the impending anxiety nervousness. Each step in the hallway started to feel heavy and heavier, the notebooks she was meant to deliver to the sun division felt like solid gold tons, weighing her down even further.

The hours were slowly ticking to amount to a full day towards Milo's return - yet another from yet another outpost; the Amazon this time. A round of off island adventures that were a little more unsettling than necessary given the memories that had settled in his head from yet another Weird Thing that Happened on the Island (tm).
There was enough time to allow him to frown slightly at the new layer of dust that had settled on his belonging and ignore it for now like so many times before in favor or retrieving a snack from the kitchen to add to the small bag of snacks he had purchased before officially portalling back home. A little time after that to take a shower and cleanse the jungle off of him and shave the sad amount of stubble that had pitifully attempted to grow on his face. His hair (a little longer and in his face) he was unsure of what to do with so he opted just to tie it on a messy tiny bun on his head. There was a little time after that to dwell just slightly after that about the changes out and about he was once again going to be unaware of and was just going to have to shrug off - and a little glance at the door across from him ... unaware that it was finally occupied.
It was only going into a day but still not enough time to cross paths but enough to be passing ships.
Milo had a chance to ponder just how much he was going to attempt to settle this time, given how many times he found himself leaving so quickly after and how much he was willing to attempt to go back into any sort of normal routine on the Island. (What was normal now...) But after so many hours ticking by he finally made his way down a similar hallway in a similar part of the island.
What the Sun was expecting was to find some sort of assignment or duty to perform to get back into the groove. What he didn't was a somewhat familiar figure not too far ahead of him. His eyes narrowed slightly, wait.... could it?pixie nyxie I have no idea what I'm doing with words these days

Eventually Noemi's footsteps came to a full stop in the hallway, her anxiety taking the most crippling blow to her mentally. If Milo was a young boy again, what would she do? he was the only hunter that...that...that she loved! If he forgot her, then how was she suppose to go on.
Tears welled up at the very idea that anything with Milo would suddenly not exist. When she had seen Lex, at least she wasn't heartbroken. She was sad at the loss of her teacher, but....but now she could help the new Lex and such!
But...But....
Her breath hitched and she drew the books even closer and started shaking in the middle of the hallway. There was certainly NO reason she should feel the way she did, after all, she didn't know if Milo was a kid or not. She had talked to him through emails once upon a time, it was to keep track of all the hunters in the outpost...but they had tried.
She was jumping to conclusions, she needed to take a deep breath.
"Milo is not a kid." She said loudly to herself, "Milo did not become younger and forget about you. Milo is at an outpost and you will wait for him until he comes back." The girl could feel a small semblence of calmness. It was almost like she could feel Milo with her. Like he was just right behind her.

He was shamelessly staring and sizing up the figure not too far from him, trying to confirm from the distance if it was in fact who he was thinking - hoping - it was. How long had it been since he had actually seen her?
< Too long. Just go, dumbass. If it's not actually your little ghoul then you just startle someone and play if off like you do. >
It was tempting, for a split second he almost indulged in the tengu's suggestion. But she had stopped, making him momentarily halt in the process all the more giving him just that little bit he needed. Her frame, her hair and her voice. Noemi.
Milo pushed forward, surged ahead without another moment's hesitation to wrap his arms around the upper portion of her smaller form - books, shoulders, arms and all. "NOEMI-CHAAAN ~" He might have also just ever so lifted her off the ground so he could press his cheek to hers.

Noemi was almost done with the, 'pull yourself out of your own anxiety attacks' when she felt the arms around her first, the squeeze into someones body would've been unwelcomed until she heard the voice. Felt his cheek against hers.
The whole world brightened, so much that she was pretty sure she was just gonna cry from the whole irony of the situation. Notebooks would've dropped down had they not been in his grip and she made small sounds against him.
"M...M...Milo." Her voice squeaked out and her head turned, lips brushing against his cheek since that was the area closest to her. Feelings were hard to contain and it was the small price she paid for being so relieved to see he was alive and not a child but mostly alive.
"Milo, Milo." She moved around, wiggling in his arms until she could return the hug, wrapping her arms around the top of his neck and pulling close. "YOU'RE NOT A KID." She said in such a breath of relief.

Even though Milo knew that there was no shadow of a doubt that he had gotten it wrong, it was still a relief when she responded as she did. And just as she often did when he surprised her with a hug, making his smile grow only broader and his heart sore. (And if only those lips hadn't been a brush).
There was a slight pause, a few blinks at her happy declaration - and a brief remembrance of 'oh right, that was a thing.' "Wouldn't think that would be a thing, ya but I'm glad you aren't either Noemi-chan." That would suck, even though he didn't know the full extent of the whole situation. In either case, it wasn't something they had to worry about which only made him continue to hold onto her. Like he was making up for all the missed hugs from... however long it had been since he had last seen her.
In fact, his upper lip pushed upward and he faked a cry, "waaaaah, it's been so long Noemi-chan!!"

Just to make sure, she was running her hands over his face and pulling at his cheeks a bit. Something about his smile just brought sunshine in the room. Notebooks had been abandoned to pile around them on the ground and she didn't really care.
How long had it been? Almost a year since she had seen him in person? Touched his face? A year was so long. "No I...I just came back." She nodded, "I was in Canada...After the Zombie attack. I was helping that." She stopped and his sound made her kind of laugh and kind of worry.
"I..I'm right here! Right here!" She hugged him closer. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leave you." There was another moment before she realized that she was practically clinging to the young sun hunter. Though to be fair, he was the one holding her up on her tiptoes.
"Have you been okay?" She dropped down, though she didn't step away. Her face searched his, memorizing his features and what had changed since she saw him. Her hand came up to play with the longer hair, messily put in a bun. "Your hair...." She ran fingers down her cheeks too, "You have....you're..um...more..." Dashing? Handsome? Grown? Handsome? HANDSOME? "H...H...Han....." Her face blew up into redness and she buried in his chest. THERE WAS JUST NO WAY.

Her physically manipulating his face was just as much more proof to him of her being real as it was for her. All Milo could do was grin and bear it even if his face did pull back into a pout over the amount of time finally being divulged. "Aa wei, a year!" So long without his cute little Mist!
His arms were clearly not letting go now.
"I've been keeping busy, ya. Elsewhere too. Was in Finland for a little bit and recently in the Amazon." And bored and a little lonely not knowing anyone on the island at the moment, but these were things she didn't need to know. Right now at least, because she was here and playing with his annoyingly longer hair. "aa, do you like it?" There was doubt in his voice and a slight twitch in his eye as they traveled skyward, following her fingers as they played with the longer strands, "haven't had it this long since I was a keiki kao, ya."
It was hard to tell how she thought, with her stuttering and blushing and pressing her face into his chest. Milo let out a chuckle, still the same cute little mist. His arms shifted ever so, pulling her further into embrace, "saah, I missed you Noemi-chan." And rested his chin upon the top her her head.

Since the sun hunter was apparently caging her in his grasp, Noemi didn't make the moves to slide out. A year was a long time without Milo, and she didn't know that she needed the hugs or touches or anything as desperately as she needed now.
It's like when he did it, it took away all the worries and cares and she could smile as brightly and cheerfully as he could. He was the sunshine to her mist, and like mist, she would reflect it back to him. Her smile was shyer though, and her playful drop of hands to his shoulders made her head tilt.
"I...I like everything about you Milo." She somberly said, "If you were to get scars, if you didn't want your hair...even...even if you got bigger. Milo is Milo, and that's who I......I....I like." She sighed. "but...I would've felt bad...if you became a teenager....Um...I'd...cradle rob?" She buried her face again, "Sorry. Silly joke."
She took a moment. "Are you staying on the Island now?" She tried her best not to move so he could rest his head. "You aren't leaving again? We...we could meet some new people?" After all, she had met Seren, who was also a sun hunter!
They could make friends again, if she had Milo by her side!

As sentimental as he was getting over their reunion, in that moment Milo was glad that her face was obscured so she couldn't see the slight flush reaching his cheeks over the words she was saying to him. Of course he was going to also awkwardly laugh it off along with the silly joke. "Nah, nah, I think I'd feel real weird about it too, ya." He hadn't encountered really anyone who had somehow become a teenager, yet, so he really had no idea what it entailed.
"Hope so, hope 'm not leaving again." Milo sighed as he began to rock the pair of them, "but knowin' you're here will totally get me to make an effort to stay, ya." Back to sentiments, but he couldn't deny that she was a factor. An anchor now, now that he knew at least someone and they could expand from there.
"Ya, ya, you and me ~ meeting all the new people." Milo hummed thoughtfully as he nodded gently, "we can designate new colors too, ya?" It had been a while since he had done that as well.

"I would...I would hope...a little not weird though..." She breathed in and then buried her face one more in his chest. Her thoughts drifted a bit (and she was purely comforted by his smell, but she wouldn't tell him that, because he'd probably think it was weird.) Her arms lax around his chest as thats what she could reach.
"New rangers?" Noemi looked up now and smiled. "Can we do that!?" She pushed just a bit to bounce, realizing, as she did so, she started to trip over the books in her excitement.
"O...Oh hold on." She fell to the ground and retrieved the notebooks and gathered them all together. "If...If you want, I can drop these off...and maybe...we can recon the island?" She smiled shyly, "cause...that is the practice of good rangers! Right?" She balanced the books in one arm before reaching for his hand. "O...Okay? We can have fun together!" Chirigami She's about to turn to a pile of goo

Milo had resolved that he wasn't going to be letting Noemi go the minute he had identified her, even as mushy as everything had been getting (according to Koume). So, there had been a little bit of a protest when she wiggled out of his grip to retrieve what she had dropped. What was he supposed to do with his arms now? "Saaaah ~"
Well, he could scratch at the back of his neck now, "Well of course there could be new rangers, ya ~ they do it every year after all." His smile spreading back to his features in a cheeky manner. He was all set to wrap his remaining arm around her shoulders to aid her in her errand until he noticed her waiting hand. Oh. Oh, well, in that case. Instead he slipped his larger one into hers and laced their fingers.
"Sounds like a great plan, Noemi-chan ~" And gave their hands a swing, "See what's new, see who's new all together, ya!"

She squeezed his hand, blushing again because they had been super affectionate with each other and that was well...That was a bit different then she had thought. She wondered maybe....maybe this year...maybe this year....
They would kis....kiss...............Like they had done in different worlds.
Her face blew up and she shook her head. "I hope we can find all sorts of new rangers!" She nodded.
"yeah, We got a lot of exploring to do." Plus, she had failed to mention, but she did want to know about creation taking up home here....Chirigami Would you like a new rp or wait till after the tournament? OVVO

Milo would be lying to himself if he never thought of their not so much a relationship maybe? ever got to that whole point with the kissing stuff. Mostly prompted by Koume of course with her teasing. It wasn't such a bad thought, but the Sun didn't want to pressure Noemi in any way nor himself; because he never really thought about getting into a relationship on the island. It was all about being a hero. And now... well...
Holding hands was nice. "Saah, we totally do. Thank there are any other weird new places on the island that we haven't been told about?" Chances seemed high and yet he smiled broadly at her as they traveled down the hallway, swinging hands and all.pixie nyxie maybe wait until after? ouo
