♥ Who: Gladio and OTA.
♥ Where: Everywhere.
♥ When: January 3rd.
♥ What: Gladio finding his feet and meeting the locals.
♥ Rating: PG-13
Another Strange Place:
[Gladio had been walking toward a small group of children, smiling as disarmingly as a man as large and seemingly intimidating as he could. The adults were nowhere to be seen, aside from some of the elderly. He'd hoped to gain some information. Anything, to help...
But between one step and the next... everything went dark. Not not a bad kind of dark. It felt... strange...
... When Gladio opened his eyes to see sky above him, white clouds, blue, clear sky... He turned his head slightly to see... nothing he expected. Instead of rustic houses, dirt paths, wooden fences and children at play, he saw white. White pillars and columns shaped like trees. Red and white ornaments. Strange looking birds. And he was laying down in the centre of it all.
He rose slowly, turned and dropped his legs over the edge of slab of carved stone he lay upon. When Gladio looked down he still wore the same clothes he'd been wearing (black leather pants, dark brown tunic, black cloak), so at least that hadn't changed. There was a sigh as he lifted a hand to scrub across his face.]
Damn train's done it again...
[Was this a side mission? Why had he been pulled away? And where was everyone else? When Gladio looked at his wrist he frowned, his SCA was gone. That didn't bode well. He was just contemplating calling out when a strange robot approached him... and that's where Gladio found out that he wasn't in Irivar anymore.
He was lead from the stone slab into another area to find more robots... he was handed a tablet, some local currency... and sent him on his way.
Gladio stepped out of the, what was it? He looked back and up. Temple... definitely a temple. He stepped out... and immediately sat himself down on the steps in the snow to try and work his head around what the hell he'd gotten himself into this time.]
A Teeny Tiny Fortune:
[Having noticed the strange booth, Gladio approached curiously. These robots were a strange thing, but so was the box that he was handed. He shook it as directed, a small, amused smile on his lips.
Then he was given a piece of paper.]
"The smallest things can bring the biggest rewards." Huh... good things in small packages, right? Thanks.
[Still looking very amused, Gladio shoved the paper in his pocket and turned to go.]
Stuck On You:
[Apparently he needed to look for a place to live. This was a big step up from a small room with a smaller bed shared between four people.
Gladio had taken his cloak off and had it wrapped over one hand. The laces of his leather tunic had been loosened and he was considering just taking that off as well, but figured near stripping in the middle of the street could be frowned upon.
He was so distracted by his surroundings that he wasn't paying attention to where he was going. Gladio bumped into someone. Automatically he reached out to stop whoever he ran into from hitting the ground... except that never happened. Wait, why couldn't he let go?]
Sorry! You okay?
Taking Stock:
[He'd found his way to the centre of the city it seemed. He'd found a fountain, an interesting structure that Gladio stood for a while, just looking at. He moved around it slowly, looking at all angles, before he sat himself down on the edge.
He stretched his legs out in front of himself and sighed.
So far this place didn't seem to have anything in common with where he had been before... He was starting to get a sinking feeling.
It was cold, there was snow everywhere, but nothing that was going to bother him so much that he was rushing to get indoors. He'd spent so much time inside over the last few months, even the snow was welcome.]
Home Away From Home:
[Houses... Small houses bunched together... And he was supposed to find one.]
Right... so how the hell does this work?
[Gladio walked up the street, then down it again, before he stopped in front of a house that appeared to be vacant. The tablet thing claimed it was unoccupied, so he walked on in.
After having a look around, he laughed to himself and did what was necessary to become the new owner... and then dropped himself down on sofa. Well and truly done.]

Just.
Give it another minute.
To really make it count when she squeezed his hands.]
... One!
no subject
He returned the little squeeze with one of his own, before he carefully let her hands go and pulled his back to rest on his lap.]
Think it worked?
no subject
Yes. Unfortunately we won't find out how well until next month... But I am sure it was a good head start.
no subject
That's a long time to count...
no subject
It will go fast.
no subject
He gave her a serious nod of understanding.]
It will.
Maybe I could borrow one of your books?
no subject
Blissfully ignorant of the desire of hugs or much more cheerful other girls, Vianca nodded back just as seriously.]
Of course. Ah... but you'll have to keep them at the shop so others can read them too. But you can come any time.
no subject
Gladio considered her proposal and then nodded again.]
I think I can agree to those terms.
How about now?
no subject
Now is very good.
[It was a chance for a tour, directions, and maybe giving his coat a chance to dry. All very good things. Vianca held her hand out again expectantly.]
no subject
He pushed himself to his feet, then grinned down at the hand.]
Listen... say no if its creepy. But how about I pick you up and you shout out directions?
[Because he was tall and she was just a smol bean. While he'd happily have held her hand, he would have had to bend in a way that would probably have him falling over his own feet if he wasn't careful.]
no subject
Vianca looked up (and up and up) at him again, considering this suggestion carefully. Except maybe it was not that carefully at all, because it only took a moment for her to just lift both her arms up with a nod instead. At some point, you just accepted that getting scooped up was an easy solution. Please be prepared for this massive weight, Gladio. All forty hulking pounds of it. 18kg???]
I do not think I will shout, though.
no subject
He hefted her up so that she could sit on the crook of his arm, careful to keep her steady.]
That's good. I don't think my delicate ears could handle that. [Sure, Gladio. NOTHING about you is delicate!]
Lead the way, Princess!
no subject
This way first.
[She pointed in the correct direction, and then took a moment after to curl that hand to her chest.]
But... um... I'm not a princess, by the way.
no subject
Coulda foolded me. [A pause.] ...Don't you like being called that?
