"Oh! Of course, I didn't leave you out. Here, dear." A square fruit is placed on the ground, along with a Chao fruit. "Both of you may as well at least get a boost for living alone out here..."
Kuro takes the square fruit, but not before placing the chao fruit closer to Eclipse. Better for him to eat up than her.
Kuro has awoken and is quietly singing to herself in the tree. Perhaps it’s an attempt to better practice with her syllables?
“Konbari dondon shushu dandan Imari dondon bo iru Konbari dondon shushu dandan Imari dondon nabuya Umi boran Umi boranran shuuuuu-ta”
“Cha-o!”
A F R I EN D!!! What's their name???
Kuro walks over to the small chao and carefully lifts them up. She stares for a moment, the newborn blocking the sun from her sight.
Eclipse. This little one is Eclipse.
Somewhere along the way, Kuro forgot she needed sleep. She’s curled up on top of a tree branch now.
Kuro is flying in circles. She forgot how nice it felt to have actual wings.
"Miss Kuro...?" Nikola called as he entered the unfamiliar area... Judging by how she described Oliver's dirty work, this should be one of the spots that he stopped. A waterfall, a cliffside, a shimmering pool of pristine water... He'd never actually seen a Chao Garden before. He leaned down to touch the water's surface...
Unknown to the visitor, a pair of eyes that didn’t belong to the omochao move to peek at him just over the cliffside, obscured mostly by a thick patch of clovers. Nimbus wasn’t super sure who this mobian was, and a part of them was a bit wary to find out. Though… it wasn’t as if he looked dangerous or anything. The young chao stretches their wings, adjusting their feathers before soaring out closer to the bird as quietly as they could.
They stay in the air for a good minute or so. A new record, but ultimately nowhere near Chai’s skill in the air. Oh well. There was still time to learn some more. Nimbus angles their wings to glide down to the nearest perch…
Which just so happens to be the top of Niko’s head.
“NIMBO!!”
Sol ran over and picked up the striped Chao-- or rather, he did his best to. What resulted from the attempt was a tight embrace followed by an elevation of maybe a couple of inches. After a second of trying to raise them even higher, Sol decided it best to simply enjoy the contact.
“Oh Nimbo, it’s so good to see you again, buddy…!”
With a hearty sob, the Hero Chao nuzzled into Nimbus’ shoulder. The younger chao returns the hug with an almost apologetic expression... not that Sol could see it. Whether or not it’s in response to Sol’s tears or something else is uncertain, but in the end, it doesn’t last long. Soon enough, it’s replaced with their usual carefree smile.
“Hey hey! I didn’t know you had tears! What’re you doing with those? Are you becoming a cloud? That’s my name, silly!”
While Chai landed closeby, Sol releases his grip on the other as he wipes the tears away from his eyes. Chai takes the opportunity to ruffle the top of Nimbus’ head, unsure what to say at first.
“It’s good to see you, little buddy. Are you alright? You aren’t hurt or anything…?”
It wasn’t as if she could outright ask if they remembered anything from before. She wasn’t sure if she even wanted to know if they did. That sort of thing could wait. Nimbus tilts their head, their smile unwavering.
“Mmm? That’s a funny question! Why would I hurt? Clovers are soft, and I didn’t trip or anything.”
Sol caught his breath and sniffled, trying to keep his tears away from Chai’s sight.
“Haha… Yeah, I guess you’re right. There’s no reason for you to get hurt… Not here.”
The older Hero chao fidgeted, trying to figure out what the best thing to say next would be. It wasn’t as though all three of them didn’t know what happened to them or why, but… Maybe it’s okay to not talk about it for now.
“Well, since you just woke up, you must be hungry!”
The young chao’s eyes light up at the mention of food. With that, perhaps a meal was in order. Figuring out how this happened? Perhaps that could wait for now.
