Summary: Anise and Natalia have just arrived; Guy bravely offers to explain to them where everything is.
The Story:

Guy made his way to the entrance hall to meet Anise, treading carefully as to not slip on the slick coating of ice that covered the Mansion floor. One hand rested on the hilt of his sword, as usual, the gloved fingertips of the other brushing lightly along one of the walls as he walked.

So many people are arriving at once, he mused to himself. I wonder if anyone else is going to show up. It was true; he and Luke had arrived here about a week ago - though he did not know if that counted, seeing as they both had seemingly random bouts of déjà vu on a regular basis throughout the day - and then Natalia and Anise, Dist, even, appeared almost all at once. It was strange, to say the least.

It wasn't long before he reached his destination, having been both lucky and careful enough to not slip. "Anise?" he called, blue eyes searching out the young Puppeteer.

Anise leaned against a wall, using it as support so that she didn't slip. What the heck was up with this place? Why was it covered in ice? She shivered slightly, hugging her arms. She pulled Tokunaga from her back and cuddled him, using him for warmth.

After a little while, she heard her name. Anise turned, eyes searching. And then she saw Guy; she smiled and waved. "Guy! I'm over here!" she called. Oh, this was going to be fun~.

Her words caught his attention and he turned to her, a faint smile curving his own lips. "Alright, I'm coming!" Slowly, the blonde walked carefully across the room until he stood a few feet in front of the girl, allowing his right hand to drop to his side now that he didn't need it to keep his balance.

"You look cold," he commented, amusement lining his voice as he raised his eyebrows at her.

"That's because I am cold!" Anise huffed, "Especially my shoulders!" She flopped Tokunaga's arms over her exposed skin. That would warm them up. She moved closer to Guy, an impish grin forming.

"It was so nice of you to come for me, Guy~"

"That's too bad. I didn't think to bring a jacket; sorry." But then, as Anise took a step towards him, he reflexively took his own step back. She should know better than to get too close to him... shouldn't she?

"W-well," the barely-suppressed nervousness caused his voice to catch in his throat momentarily, "I couldn't just leave you out here, could I?"

"It's fine! I'm tough, I don't need a jacket ♥!" Anise was having a ball; she thought it was kind of funny how Guy freaked out around girls. But then she stopped, it was icy and slippery. If she freaked Guy out, it could end badly for him, and he had been nice enough to come and find her.

Deciding against giving Guy a concussion, Anise stepped back again, "No, you couldn't It wouldn't be right to leave a beautiful damsel like myself out here all alone. But anyways, we should go find the princess~." Her last words came out slightly sarcastic.

Relief seeped through him as she backed down again, not having realized just how tense he had been. "I should have known," he responded, touching his chin thoughtfully, eyes closed. "You're grown up, after all, right?" He cracked cyan eye open a to peer down at her slyly, a catlike grin tugging at the corners of his lips. But before the girl could reconsider backing off, he nodded, ignoring her sarcasm.

"We probably should, shouldn't we? I hope she's alright." He then turned in the direction of the staircase. "Well, let's be off; she shouldn't be too far from here."

"Of course I'm grown up!" The brunette girl thumped her chest proudly. She ignored his smile, not wanting a reason to torture him now.

"I'm sure she's fine~" Waving a hand dismissively, Anise followed along behind the blonde.

They walked down the hall for a while, but it wasn't far; it only felt so due to the pace at which they were forced to walk. But soon enough, they reached the stairs leading to the second floor, the place Guy was guessing Natalia was waiting for them.

"Natalia," he called as they approached the staircase, "you still here?"

[ CUE NATALIA XD ]

Natalia was waiting on the stairs for Guy and Anise to pick her up. Suddenly she heard a voice. It sounded like Guy's. "Guy? Yes I am still here!"

"There you are," he murmured under his breath, catching sight of her just as she spoke, walking to stand just before her. He would have offered a hand to help her up, had it not been for his phobia. Instead, he placed a hand on his hip and inquired with amusement, "So, did you manage not to fall, like I asked?"

[ It's fiiine, don't worry about it! XD Now, where's Anise-mun? *Pokes around* ]

[fever-time.livejournal.com]

"I doubt it," Anise muttered, crossing her arms.

Natalia tried to lie and say she did. But of course, she had to use the wall to walk the whole time over here. You can't help it. Not even a princess can manage that. "Me? I-I didn't slip at all."
