The figure had his back turned away from him. Reece heard him talking to himself as he stared up at the painting. The boy's musings didn't make any sense to Reece though. He was about to call out to him and ask who he was when a shrill screech shot through the air. Reece jumped at the girl's cry and spun around. Reece could have sworn that area had been empty a second ago. The girl had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. [i]Did she get here the same way I did?[/i] he wondered. He looked over at her with concern; something horrible must have happened to cause her this much distress.

Reece looked back at the other person, still uneasy about the situation. Something was definitely off here. To Reece's surprise the boy was staring at him with what seemed to be hostility. Reece stood his ground, prepared to react if needed. Despite not being on the battlefield, his instinct was still to automatically jump to defend himself. It seemed that there was no need to protect himself from any dangers yet though, as the person addressed them. Nodding to affirm that he had nothing to do with this, Reece watched as the person brushed passed him to walk over to the girl.

[i]Rude,[/i] Reece thought in reaction at the person's next words. [i]Who is he to boss us around? Or treat us as incompetent?[/i] He didn't know anything about who they were, or what they might have gone through. He nearly spoke up in defense, but decided that it would be best not to try to make enemies. Reece listened and watched as he spoke to the girl before handing her some sort of ice cream thing. 

"Twilight Town?" Reece said, finally speaking up upon hearing the unfamiliar name. Throughout all his time living in Traverse Town, he had never heard of any sector or other town of that name. He shook his head slightly as the person spoke again though. "Whatever," Reece said, getting annoyed at the boy's bossiness. Reece ignored his gaze as walked over to the girl. "Are you okay?" he asked, offering his hand to help her up.
