There wasn't one thing Emiola could find to dislike about good ol' NHC. She was a city girl at heart, loved the sounds, loved the sights, even the smells! The colder half of the sweep meant streets filled with peppermint and pumpkin scented sweet treats and it was absolutely divine. The only thing that sucked was the distinct lack of actual music, performers that occupied street corners being forced to retreat indoors to escape the chill. It didn't matter much to Emi! It just meant she needed to follow after them indoors too!
And she had! Except now she was leaving. The bell jingled as she closed the door behind her, whatever faint tendrils of warmth beckoning her back inside fading almost instantly. The tealblood shivered, squeaked out a fairly loud BRRRR! that made her lusus, Maccue, hesitate. The giant featherbeast lusus was extra poofy this time of sweep, feathers ruffled to keep up with the weather. He gave his charge a once over with his long beak.
"I'm s'fine dad!" Emiola said, ever chipper. She donned a teal windbreaker that kept her warm for now, besides the fact that she carried a cup of hot hustle in her hands. It warmed her, soothed her, was her absolute life line in this perilous place. She took a tiny sip at the same time she attempted descending the front door steps, splashing her face with the hot liquid.
"Ow-ow-ow-ow! Gosh pops, they make this stuff hot." but she supposed it was supposed to be that way. She laughed a little to herself a moment later as Maccue nudged her down the sidewalk again.
Yup, yup. Just another awesome night spent in winter-timed Hemisect. What could be better than this? Doutei here you go! if you need me to add anything else, just lemme know!

NHC what a beautiful city! While it didn't have the natural beauty of Busthind, Nucleo could appreciate the fast pace and hum of energy that filled the area. Waving to a figure that disappeared into the crowd, the green blood grinned and opened his map to get started.
"Where do you think we should check first, Goatmom?" The boy beamed to his lusus who was eyeing the nearby butcher shop nervously. Not connecting the dots, he shrugged at her silence and looked down the street. There were so many shops to investigate and he didn't know what to expect! He'd come to look into the other coffee shops of Alternia for inspiration but now realized that he didn't know where any of them were! Shoot! Biting his lip, the greenblood began to think of a plan- it would take too long to go into every shop in the city. He wasn't in a huge rush but also had a limited amount of time before...
Suddenly a savior in pigtails appeared.
"Where'd ya get that? Could you take me there?" Breaking through the crowd, Nucleo stopped in front of Emiola face, flushed from the cold. He spoke with a natural friendliness but failed to realize he hadn't even given his name or said hello!
Melancholies Sorry for the wait, irl stuff popped up but has quieted down!

Beautiful indeed; Maccue's nudging became a bit of a constant as Emiola continued to stop and gawk and stop and distract herself. The warm waft of steam from the coffee cup was enough to keep her comfortable despite the chill, mind willingly wandering instead of focusing on the route back home. Her lusus had started to lose track of the number of trolls and other obstacles she'd bumped into.
So distracted, Emi had failed to realize that the greenblood had spoken to her, and more importantly stopped in front of her face. Thankfully she was in no real rush, as her momentum had not yet broken the sound barrier as she gently collided with the other child.
"Wha-wha-whaaaaaa?" she was fumbling with the cup again, Maccue making an annoyed sound behind his charge as he almost tripped over her. Mouth open in a gawk, the wheels and cogs turning over in Emi's mind were almost visible in the way her expression twisted. "Who what? Me?"
Blessedly, none of the scalding coffee had found its way out of its prison this time. Emi was backing up slightly, feet clunking together clumsily. "You were talkin' to me? Maaaaan, sorry!" despite how genuine her voice sounded, her mouth quickly quirked into a smile. She was laughing lightheartedly. "My bad, my bad,"
Another thing that was starting to blur together; the number of times Maccue had to sigh at his all too sociable charge.
"Anyway, where'd I get what, my drink?" her head cocked to one side, the smile still present on her lips, "It was a, uh, y'know, cafe place. There's a lot of them here, ummm..." she swiveled around tapping her chin as she looked the streets around. "Down this way! Oh man, it's got the neatest stuff inside! Like, there's a venue for people to preform music 'n stuff, I mean, it's the nice quiet at-mos-spheric kind of acoustic stuff, but it's really radical!" words were spilling out of her mouth at a staggering rate, obviously bubbling with excitement at whoever the heck this was. "I mean, I just left, but I guess I could go back! Oh man that could be so much fun gosh—"
Her words stopped suddenly, cheeks puffing out as she came to a startling realization.
"I'm Emiola by the way! But I like Emi a lot. Who're you again? Did you already give your name?—maaaaan, sooooorry if you did. We can still totally be friends though dude! Ah... right?" ever presumptuous, the tealblood was bouncing a little, already starting to walk without really checking over her should to see if Nucleo was following. Doutei > u O SORRY FOR THE WAIT!

"Yes you!" Nucleo laughed as the tealblood gasped in surprise and then confusion. He hadn't meant to startle her so much but it was kind of cute how she laughed and he found himself glad to have stopped her. The greenblood felt bad asking her to go back to the cafe she'd just left but he really appreciated her taking the time! He'd come to do some market research but wondered if maybe he'd walk away from this having made a new friend as well! The mention of an acoustic band was intriguing and he wondered if he should consider hiring some trolls to play a gig. But who would he hire? Nucleo didn't think many known bands would take a job up on Busthind in some kid's living room.
"Emi, huh? I'm Nucleo! And we're totally friends now, dude!" The boy lightly teased with a grin as she chattered on. She didn't need to check behind her, he was definitely following.
"I'm from Busthind so I don't know NHC very well. What're your favorite things to do around here?" Making conversation as they walked, he wondered about her noticeable fashionable tights and hair bows. She seemed like she was going for a certain look and he was curious what kind of person went with it! She seemed to like music from the little mention she'd made earlier, was there more to that?
Melancholies Sorry it's on the short side and late but can't wait for more Emi timeeee!

"Oh, Bro." she stopped dead in her tracks, voice serious, "Bro. We are totally friends."
She was echoing him, but she couldn't help it! Breaking out into laughter again, she immediately skipped to walking again, feet scraping against the concrete. She took another sip of her drink as Nucleo rattled off his question. "Daaaaang, Busthind? That's like, so far away! I've been there once; it's not very happening." she giggled, Maccue looking ever exasperated as they backtracked. This was pretty normal, but it was irritating when other trolls were feeding into it. At least his charged looked like she was enjoying herself, but, ah... when wasn't she...
"Anyway! There's so much stuff here! I like concerts a lot, but I can't go to a lot of 'em 'cause my lusus says I'm not old enough. I wanna be a really kickass musician when I grow up though, like—" WHACK
Maccue gave his charge a very pointed, dutiful peck on her head. Her shenanigans he could tolerate, but her language would probably always be a pet peeve.
"Oh... guh..." she shook her head a little, but looked otherwise unphased. "Uh, anyway, I guess that's my ultimate favorite thing. I like cafe hopping too! And the whole walkin' around thing. It's fun to troll-watch; there's lotsa interesting trolls in the city! Oh and just exploring in general! There's so much to see and do here! It's kinda hard to stand out, but you end up finding lots of little hidden, like, gems, and it's kinda fun." Was she even making sense? Maybe not. Emi usually didn't and she really wasn't the type to care either way.
