The pool noodle was...disconcerting. He needed to keep it with him, but he also wasn’t entirely sure he was comfortable walking around this new city with it. He needed it to keep Zagan with him, but he wondered if it was really worth it. Maybe that Djinn was better left at home where it wouldn’t be questioned. Hakuryuu paced back and forth in front of his apartments, attempting to solve his dilemma before shipping off to buy food.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw someone exit the building, and whipped around to hide the noodle behind his back. It took a moment for him to connect the dots, but he quickly realized that he, in fact, knew the blonde. He felt his heart leap up in his chest seeing his new friend and forgot about his noodle problem, instead approaching his friend with a friendly wave and small smile.
“Master Alibaba? Is that you? I never would have thought I’d find a friend in this place.”
