POV

Shoto: hello? *resist urge to head pat*

Nova: Yeah, at first i didn't believe it because he never did bring me presents even though I've been good, but then again, i don't have a chimney on my fort

The Fort is impressive

Nova: *looks at fort* thank you si- i mean shoto

You seem really carefree

Nova: I mean, when you have basically nothing you have nothing to worry about.

Hm, perhaps that's what makes me so tense.

Nova: so why did you come here?

I left

Nova: Why?

I had some..troubles.

Nova: oh! you're in the mid west part of new York. wait... how did you get here?

Uhm...how the hell did I cross countries in one night-

Nova: I have no idea...

I'm from Japan.

Nova: Japan?! Dang, you must walk fast

I travelled, like, the whole world in one night-

Nova: Santa???

Who's Santa?

Nova: you know, the big fat red man who goes down your chimney and brings presents to all the kids in the world??

That sounds like a stalker of sorts.

Nova: Its fine, really. Ive been living out here for about a year now. you get use to it

I suppose I might, also I'm sorry for interrupting you when I came here

Nova: Oh no, you weren't interrupting anything

I wasnt?

Nova: Nope. Just me and the ally cats doin our thing hehe...

I love cats..

Nova: I am a cat! Sorta...

Yeah, I know.. I've been resisting mentioning it all this time

Nova: Why? its not offencive or anything. Not like back then.

Back then?

Nova: Grown up problems?

Pretty much, it's mad to think that a teenager has to put up with them...

Nova: same here dude... when i was 5, my parents ditched me here

Key age, 5...

Nova: *laughs* what happened to you when you were 5?

..too much

Nova: O-oh... im sorry.

It's fine. That's why I left. Funny I've waited all these years to leave..

Nova: I never really had a choice to leave. they forced me out

I'm sorry

???: Eep! *Hides in a pile of blankets*

Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you

???: *Peeks out* No no, i-its fine sir

*kneels down* you don't need to call me sir, I'm Shoto.

???: I'm Nova.

Pleasure to meet you

Nova: You to. sorry, I'm bad at this... i haven't interacted with people in a while...

*sits next to her* I'm not very socially strong either.

Nova: So... whats up i guess??

Uh, I was just wandering. No idea where exactly I am.
