Takumi can’t help but be annoyed. He yet again finds the memory of how he got here all but lost and the greetings from what he has known to be called a “TV” all too familiar- the haunting smile on the scientist’s face as he greets Takumi with a ‘welcome back’ only serves to infuriate him more. He pushes his way out into his newly assigned sector- much worse than his previous one. It stinks, for one, it’s crowded, and he can only compare it to what he imagines Nohr must be like beyond it’s city walls.
Today was a very bad day indeed.
And then, bump!-- someone crashes into him, most likely pushed by the crowd.
“Hey, hey, watch where you’re going, you-”
The prince cuts himself off as he swerves around to face his not-quite assailant, eyes burning with rage.
“N...Nikolai?” He asks cautiously, eyeing the pale figure up and down. His memories of the city before are only foggy, but he could never forget such a face. His eyes mellow out and though he’s suspicious, he grabs the other by the wrist and pulls him off to the side of the busy crowd.
“Is that... really you?”
