– ( ❀; @feelnofear - star-den tea party )
Standing there amongst the stars was something that quite literally took Watanuki's breath away, mesmerized by the constellations that lit up the sky back in his world. His hands lifted to one, trailing its path; watching the twinkling lights grow brighter with each trace of his fingertip.
He had only just arrived-- not an ounce of refreshments in sight near him, nor had he yet seen his Earth. Perhaps he would have stayed in one spot staring for the rest of the night..
.. if a familiar face had not happened to walk by him.
"... Dys."
His eyes dropped for only a moment, just as Dys crossed his path; perhaps entranced with familiarity he had been missing, too. Despite the warm sense of relief that had washed over Watanuki at the sight of him, anxiousness seemed to pull at him as well; watching the other quietly, unsure if he should carry on further.
He had not seen him since.. that time. Not in the forest, and especially nowhere near the shop. Though.. he could in no way blame Dys for that at all.
".. it's good to see you again," he decided on eventually, his voice gentle, tentative. He smiled some, though it didn't quite reach his eyes; as if wondering if his own presence here would scare the young man away entirely. "Are you.." alright, he wanted to ask. Have you been well. But no matter how hard he tried, the sentiments refused to surface from his mouth.
".. apologies. You're here on your own, so please don't let me intrude on your evening. I can carry on my own way if you'd like."
