♥ 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.]

I... really only know that you've been traveling with them for a while-- back in your world, I mean. In case you're wondering, it's relatively peaceful, here. No empire. No daemons.
[ They're not too far off from their house. Pyra turns them down one last street to another, leading to a row of residential buildings and larger houses. Luckily for them, they've been here long enough to afford one of the bigger homes to accomodate all of their pets, too. ]
no subject
But peace? That sounds good.
[Because Gladio was just so tired of fighting. He would, if and when it was needed of him, hell he would just for fun. But fighting for his life had lost its shine these days.
As they turned down a street, Gladio gave a low little whistle.]
You guys live here, huh?
no subject
[ She opens the door for him, stepping inside for him to enter and motioning for him to take his shoes off as she does the same.
While it would have been awkward to do all of this while still attached, fortunately for the both of them, whatever sticky-enchantment had found them suddenly releases. Pyra takes her arm back with a soft giggle, and then sets her sylleblossoms upon a countertop. She leads him inside.
Looking around their living room, she sees that Noctis is nowhere to be found sleeping upon a couch; then, putting a finger to her lips to call for quietness, she leads him down a hall to their room. Opening it some, she spots his sleeping form sprawled upon the bed.
Pyra closes the door gently, turning to Gladio and whispering, ]
Mm, looks like he's fast asleep still. You might need to find him another time.
[ On the plus side, he at least knows where they live! ]
no subject
[Gladio laughed and looked down at his hand now that it had left Pyra's arm. Then he bent to removing his boots. They were covered in snow, he would have taken them off without being asked. It was only polite, after all.
From there he followed Pyra. He was quiet. For such a big guy he could be light on his feet when he wanted to be But he stopped and leaned against the wall when she peeked into the bedroom to check on Noctis, and Gladio knew what the verdict would be. He smiled his understanding. Had it been a normal day he might have just walked in there and bellowed for him to wake the hell up, for old times sake. But knowing he hadn't been well, he didn't even try.
Pushing away from the wall, he retraced his steps to head back to his boots.]
I'll come back later when he's awake, let him sleep. He needs the rest.

Oh, and Gladio...? It was nice meeting you at last. [ She smiles gratefully. ] I hope we can speak again.
no subject
It was good meeting you. And we'll definitely speak again.
[He had no plans on going anywhere, after all. He was sure they'd see each other again.]
