Yume Kiiragi sat alone on a swing of the park. She'd just arrived to the city the previous day, and she was tired, but didn't think of it. The park was entirely empty, which was nice. No matter how hyper she was, she always needed some time to think, to be alone, and to listen to the silence.
She thought inevitably of Haruhi, of her father, her mother, and the life she had left behind. She wondered if she'd ever regret leaving...if she'd come back some day...but even if she returned, the harm was done. Her father was dead. And so was Haruhi. And her mother would have probably lost her mind as well...the silence was like music to her ears as she thought over all this things.

Neil rolled himself in the wheelchair down the smooth pavement of the Meander park. He had managed to live through Sojiro's attack but had been in critical condition for days and had several memory loss relapses. The only thing he could remember after Sojiro had attacked was waking up in the hospital weeks later with a gash in his side that would have ended his life if the doctors had not gotten to it in time. This was truth. The branch of the Asian protettore had all but forced Neil to take weeks off in order to recover from it all and had even sent him all the way to Meander to recover. It was enough to infuriate him to say the least. He wanted to do more... wanted to get back into the fighting. Yet until he healed there was nothing he could do.
He continued to roll along with his eyes down and a half dead look on his face. And then there was Rukia.... His cousin... whom he had failed to protect and instead let her suffer things to the point she turned into a hunter. He blamed himself despite the fact that it was not directly his fault. There was nothing he could have done, yet Neil continued to hold the pang in him that would not cease to leave him. Suddenly finding that he bumped straight into something, Neil looked upwards and found that he had hit the pole on the stand of a swing.

Yume jumped out of the swings, "Waaaa!"she yelled startled, and then ran to hide in the first thing she found...the top of a tree. Freaking out of nowhere was now a habit, mostly because she wasn't even supposed to be there. Or anywhere for that matter.

Neil blinked dumbfounded by the sudden reaction of someone on the swing in front of him. Wheeling himself to the base of the tree where he noticed a girl sitting up in the tree, Neil stared for a moment before calling up. "Hey are you ok up there?" he asked unsure if she would answer. "Sorry for scaring you...."

Yume whined. "I'm fine thank you!"she called weakly. She looked down at the ground, and then jumped down. She barely landed on her feet. "Wow....I didn't even know I could do that...."she said surprised, then started laughing childishly.

Neil watched the girl jump down from the tree and half sighed to himself before rolling back a bit to address her easier. "As stated before, sorry for making you jump," he sighed outwards again. "I meant not harm...." Suddenly noticing something different about the girl, Neil wondered if she was a hunter. Suddenly tensing up, Neil moved back more. No one could have made that full jump without some sort of training or something of the like. He didn't say anything for a moment but continued to wheel backwards. "Who are you?" he asked after a safe distance away. "Protettore or Hunter?" he demanded. She looked human... that was for sure... and that ability could have only stemmed from being one or the other.

"Eeto?"she said in confusion. "I don't know what you mean!"she said and then went back to her place at the swings.

Neil blinked surprised by the answer. He had been expecting some kind of attack over anything, yet she appeared completely oblivious to what he had just said. Maybe... she's just a human then..... Neil blinked and shook his head a bit. Work has got me unnerved... maybe I really do need a vacation..... he sighed to himself rubbing his temple before forcing a half smile. "Sorry... my name is Neil... What is yours?" he asked.

"Hm. I'm Yume,"she answered, and then pulled out a pack of chewing gum out of her pocket. "So, are you one of them or one of us?"she asked. It was more or less the same question he'd asked her, but made in a different way.

Neil blinked at the question. Had she really just asked the same thing he had just? It was.... strange... to say the least of things. "It depends what you are," he answered back. Again the idea that she was a hunter came to mind. Neil became mildly wary of this and kept an eye on her.

Yume smiled brightly. "Well, I'm not a hunter, that's for sure,"she answered happily, chewing into a piece of mint gum. She quickly jumped out of the swing and sat on the ground to stare at him. "Now, are you going to answer me?"she asked.

Neil blinked again before shaking his head. Not a hunter.... His guard lowered a bit at that. So that meant she was protettore since she didn't appear to be a magical creature or something of the like. Feeling a fraction relieved that the confusion was over, Neil nodded to himself lightly before finally sighing. "Ok.... well I'm not a hunter either," he answered back pretty much giving the same answer directly back to Yume. His hands rested on the wheelchair wheels somewhat at peace now yet ready to move if necessarily. Again the idea that his own cousin had put him in the wheelchair roamed in Neil's mind with a pain attached to it. It wasn't that he was in physical pain... just the thoughts that went with it...

Yume grinned widely. "Oh, alright,"she said happily before bursting to laugh again. A voice in the back of her mind screamed at her that she was acting like a child, but she ignored it altogether. After controlling her laugh, she offered Neil the little pack of gum. "Do you want one?"she asked.

"Uh... sure..." Neil answered back taking a piece of gum and unwrapping it before shoving it in his mouth. It was strange to meet someone so.... spontaneous would not be the word, but Neil could find no other that really fit the context of things.

Yume grinned and laid down on the grass, just watching the clouds moving across the sky. After a few minutes of silence, she stood up. "Um...are you sad or anything?"she asked Neil. "Or are you always this...serious?"
