Characters: Nagi, and YOU~~R MOM~~!
Setting: Floor Six, the forest, by the staircase going to Floor Seven.
Format: Matching you, bby. ;]
Summary: Nagi is way, way too conditioned to handling chaos. Pixie is not happy.
Warnings: CALMNESS? Also a small fire in a forest, aaaahhhhh.

A deep intake of breath, and the black-haired girl kneeled down on the forest floor, hands placed on her thighs. For several moments she simply remained very still, and besides her breathing, all seemed still and calm. It was quickly apparent that she could not sense the demon realm at all, despite her training. Still, she remained there, trying to filter past the chaos to find something familiar. Despite the urgency, she didn't feel scared or nervous, even with having read the letter in her room. Panic would get her nowhere.

A little ways away, High Pixie was relazing on a treebranch, observing her summoner. The fairy had lit several bundles of sticks alight by her summoner, and was basically keeping watch to make sure they didn't burn out, or...well, burn Nagi or the forest down. Though, 'keeping watch' apparently meant griping about everything under the sun- er, ceiling -that she could think of. The small fairy's voice was quiet enough to not disturb her summoner, but loud enough to make her feel better.

..well, she hadn't poked around the forest much at all yet, but if there was ever a time to go to strange places, it's when things are already going wrong!

Guided by a sense of direction born of long hours wandering labyrinthine dungeons and a handful of little glowing crystals that are surprisingly good lighting, Cornet stumbles upon a very still lady and a teeny tiny fire.]

"..You okay over there?"

It took the girl several long moments of silence to stir, taking a deep breath and opening her eyes, turning towards the girl. She seemed to be a bit dazed, but recovered.

"...hm? Oh, yes! I am having no problems." She didn't bother to get up, but shifted so she was in a more comfortable position. "In theory, you are a fellow denizen of this place, correct?"

So she was just napping or something, cool. For a minute there Cornet was thinking there might be some Weird Tower Stuff about to go down and was on the verge of chastising herself for just walking up and saying hello.

This time, though, nothing seemed to have went wrong. She grins at Nagi's question. "Nothing theory about it, that's a fact! My name's Cornet Espoir."

Nagi smiled and stood up, holding her hand out. "I'm Nagi!" She looked towards the tree, and waved over something. "Pixie! Come introduce yourself...!'

It took a moment, but the little kimono-clad fairy came over, arms crossed and sulking. She didn't look eager to speak up.

Cornet reciprocates the offered handshake, but drops it when Pixie makes an appearance. She appears startled, but not exactly by Pixie's appearance itself.

"Oh! Uh - it's nice to meet you both. _{Nagi and Pixie. I'll remember that.}"

The friendliness of her tone has become faltering.

Nagi laughed as the pixie went to sat down on her shoulder, heedless of the girl's faltering friendliness.

She hadn't much left her room since she got here, admittedly. It was alarming enough to discover that she was no longer where she had been trapped for...eleven? Eleven years. To wake up next to a note saying that her world had been destroyed (well, of course it had been, it was quite a while ago) and the simple feeling that there was something inherently wrong with all this was enough to warrant Aqua staying in her room to reread her spellbooks.

Finding a forest was nice enough -- perhaps she should practice her magic here -- but Aqua didn't also expect to find a woman. Or, well, she didn't expect to almost stumble over a woman near the bottom of the staircase.

"--um," Aqua fumbled upon noticing her presence. "...hello?" she ventured.

Nagi seemed to be in the slow process of waking up, but instead of her response...

The fairy was all up in Aqua's face in an instant, hands on her hips with one hell of a frowny pout.

"--oh!" In her focus on the other woman, Aqua hadn't even noticed the presence of the...fairy? Pixie? In the vicinity. She backpedaled a few paces, holding her hands up and her palms out in a gesture of surrender. "I'm sorry. But, I didn't step on her."

Aqua briefly thought of Tinkerbell. Did all pixies have such fiery attitudes?

Nagi was awake enough by Aqua's apology that she cocked her head at the pixie, quickly assessing the situation.

"Pixie, do not be so jumpy."

"I apologize for her incorrect theory. You have done no wrong." Nagi got up, smiling. "Pixie is simply...jumpy, given the current process of our lives here."

Aqua waited until the woman was standing before offering a polite smile. "I understand. She isn't the only one." She'd been a little dodgy herself when she'd first woken up -- still was, really.

"My name is Aqua," the Keyblade Master continued. "I apologize if I disturbed you. It looked like you were concentrating." On what, Aqua wasn't sure, but she couldn't say that she blamed the young woman. Who knew what kind of creatures were lurking in those trees?

"Oh, don't be. I was testing the bounds of the conjecture pertaining to this place." She paused, pulling at her hair slightly. "I am unable to sense that which I used to be able to, so there must not be such a realm here. Yet there are quite a few spirits, and in theory, they are akin to what I am used to."

tl;dr finished, Nagi bowed. "I am Geirin Kuzunoha the XVIII- but you may call me Nagi. Are you likewise new to this place?"
