World Refugees: The Next Generation

{ooc: A little bit after THIS point in Lorelei's intro.}
Aria never thought she'd see Radiant Garden again so soon. Not that almost fifteen years was soon. Seph checked to make sure Rainbow's End was still standing once in a while but, that was pretty much it. Coming home to find Lorelei missing nearly sent her into a panic though. A few hours were spent checking her usual spots and calling her friends. Seph looked just about ready to start tearing the universe apart looking for her.

She'd been asking about this place a lot though. If she wasn't here Aria didn't know what to think. The worst came to mind of course.

"What if she isn't here?" Seph interrupted her thoughts to ask. There was no expression on his face, almost no emotion in his voice.

"...We ask for help," she replied hesitantly.

They were getting some odd and occasionally hostile looks as they walked towards Rainbow's End. Seph had never been popular here. It was just too much to hope that people would drop the ridiculous grudge after all these years.

"Ask for help? After disappearing for almost fifteen years?" Seph replied. They were nearly there by this point.

"...They've forgiven worse," Aria said after a thoughtful pause. Thinking about the kinds of things that have been forgiven was not really good for her state of mind at the moment.

"We're here," Seph announced. Thankfully, that interrupted Aria's train of thought.

They both hesitated at the door though, still reluctant to make themselves known.
