Twisting her fingers in and around the soft loops of her purse’s arm, Kris swayed slowly in front of the strange statue in the center of the shopping car. The thoughts of the numerous people that walked passed buzzed like a low hum in the back of her mind, but she was used to such things now. No, her own private thoughts were elsewhere desperately trying to run damage control on her nerves.
She’d been back in Veria for less than a week, and it had already stressed her out in more ways than one. Her mother’s first words had been something along the lines of ‘you start on Friday’, and as much as she wanted to refuse it, Kris knew very well she needed the work. Her father promised he’d see her whenever he had time since work was particularly busy for him that time of year and all. It… it would be fine, though. She just needed to get back into the swing of things what with being home and all. That was all!
And..! Why was she even thinking about this now?! She had! Something! Much! Better! To think about! She was meeting Kiran! After so long! That … actually made her more nervous, heh. Kiran was… so so so special and important and the bestest friend she’d ever made and… the thought that the moment she looked at them she’d be aware of what they thought of her was absolutely nerve wracking. FFFFFFF. Breathe, Kris. You can do this!
Taking in a deep breath, she did her best to keep her eyes peeled for Kiran. She’d… forgotten to ask what they were going to wear but she’d already said she’d wear a blue dress so— hopefully they’d find her first maybe, yeah.

What... what the fuck were they going to wear?? Kiran was pretty sure they were supposed to meet Krissy in like ten minutes but they were still here at home freaking out. This should not be a difficult decision.
This should not be such a fucking difficult decision!? Pick some clothes already, Kiran, your best friend was waiting!!
But... despite having been so close for so many years, Kiran knew they were aiming to make a good impression, and they wanted it to be the right 'first' impression, but weren't sure exactly what 'right' was. If normal people gendered them, oh well, it was bound to happen. They were often annoyed but resigned to it.
But Kris... It wasn't too rare for people to respect their neutrality online, but it was always so hard to tell who really felt it and who kind of had a... almost 'headcanon' for what they 'really' were while still honoring their pronouns. If Kris wasn't already in the latter category, they didn't want their attire or overall impression to give her too strong an impression and???
Was this really worth delaying sharing a physical space with and hugging their closest and dearest friend for the first time ever? ....... Yes. Yes it was and Kiran hated it.
Almost fifteen minute late, they shuffled nervously toward the landmark... immensely regretting leaving this decision to a handful of die rolls. But they hadn't been able to decide on their own so...
Here they were... in a Bleach Shinigami uniform, except barefoot... hair left loose and draped down to kind of hide their face as they looked around for a small white-haired girl in a blue dress.
When they finally spied her, though, their worries about her perception of them took a backseat to a number of other thoughts. First and foremost, a sense of OH MY GOD IS THAT HER SHE'S ADORABLE so strong they almost teared up, followed by am I even worthy?? and then oh shit oh no she's not younger than she said is she followed by a rapid realization that if she'd been planning to lie about her age online she would have said she was older than 10 back then, hahaha. So that was... a light humorous note but most of it still oh God oh God what do I even do she's aijwoajiojiojiaowio how is she going to see me am I going to disappoint her or aiowjioio HOW IS SHE SO CUTE.
Outwardly, they were a bit frozen...

Every couple of minutes or so, Kris checked the time. She was… starting to wonder if they’d decided not to show up or something had happened or?? She checked her phone messages too but had yet to see anything new. OH MY GOD IS THAT HER SHE’S ADORABLE. The loudness of this particular stray thought was enough to jerk Kris out of her thoughts. HOW IS SHE SO COUTE? She blinked a couple of times dazed before— !!
The long green hair, the cosplay the— “KIRAN!!!!” Kris squeaked louder than even she expected. In just a couple of seconds, she’d closed the distance between them arms out. There was a mercifully brief moment where she hesitated before she knocked into them, hugging around them tight. “Ki! It’s you right?! Oh my gosh oh my gosh!” she’d loosened her grip enough to flash a bright grin up at them. “You’re so tall! Hahah or I’m so small!” She giggled brightly at that. “Your cosplay is so cute too!”

Oh no oh no help oh no. Their body still wasn't cooperating at all and now Krissy was hugging them and they wanted to hug her back but they were stiff and overwhelmed by she's real and she's touching me this is happening. They had to remind themself to breathe.
...She'd called them 'Ki' so many times in text and... probably presumably at least once in a while on voice chat but it was still weird to hear in person, heh.
Tall?? They were so average-ish, hehehe.. And they still felt pretty silly about the cosplay to be honest but.. But the little bits of silliness were slowly helping them relax, and they finally hugged her tight. It's definitely you, they wanted to tease back, but couldn't quite get their mouth to work.
When they finally loosened their hold it occurred to them they hadn't... actually gotten a proper look yet. Focusing their aura vision, they took in the various blues and purples. She looks kind of like the sky...

In closer proximity, Kris could hear Kiran’s thoughts, and while they didn’t necessarily say anything out loud, she was aware of the responses to some degree or another. A small, silly giggle escaped from her as they finally hugged back. This was… so so so comforting in ways she didn’t quite know what to do with, and warmth radiated from her in excess. “I’m so …glad we’re meeting finally,” she blinked a little and the corners of her eyes were wet but only for a second or two. Reaching up a hand, she rubbed her eyes briefly and grinned again even brighter.
Kind of like the sky? Kris had missed some of the thoughts that ended up at this conclusion, but if she had to guess, it was her hair or maybe her— Oh! Right! Her dress! It did have that kinda lighter blue color to it. “Do you like it? I picked it out right as I was headed back home…” she slowly pulled up the ends of the dress in a sort of small curtsy fashion that didn’t quite work due to the style of it but she was trying, here.

O--oh no was she about to cry? If she did there was no way they'd hold it together aaaaa why was this so overwhelming?? Okay they knew why but aoiaoio still.
As Kris showed off her dress, Kiran smiled soft but bright. In their mind, they briefly imagined picking her up and twirling her around and letting the air flare her dress all the more. ...In reality, they knew even at her size they'd get her maybe an inch or two off the ground tops, ahahah. So they just nodded once emphatically with a bright 'mm-hm!'
...Actually, a cute brand new dress made them feel even more ridiculous for showing up in cosplay but... wih. They shuffled a bit only to notice the feeling of something shifting in their pocket and-- "Oh!" That was right! They ah...
They tugged their pant leg up with one hand-- the pockets very deep and small things at the bottom a bit hard to reach-- and reached in with the other to retrieve two PokeBalls containing Espurr. Holding them out to her, their mouth opening a moment, but then closed and smiled nervously instead. They... knew she had a few already assuming she brought them from Hoenn but... she ah.. really like them... right?

A giggle pushed passed Kris’s lips as she grasped the general understanding of Kiran’s brief imagination/intention and follow up motions. She paused, however, as they seemed to be getting something? Huh? As two Pokeballs were held forward, she cupped both hands to take them. Not entirely sure of what they were right off the bat, she looked up to Kiran briefly before sifting one into each hand, enlarging them, and popping them open. As the two Espurr burst from the Pokeballs, however, her eyes grew, and the smile on her face flashed brighter than ever before.
“Kitties!” she squeaked excitedly, crouching down to get a better look at them. One shifted a little closer to the other, a bit unsure of this new person, but the other was much calmer, assessing the situation with ease. This person would not harm them or so he believed. Kirs, meanwhile, was already reaching out and petting the first right between the ears. “What cuties…”
Looking back to Kiran, Kris beamed. “I love them!” And she did, really. Their ears were so cute and their eyes and … Oh she wished she’d brought her two but hadn’t quite thought about it during the— Wait. She was sure she had at least one with her? Fishing through her bag, she pulled out her Pokeball. “Daisy come look!” she giggled releasing her Espurr. The Espurr that was released blinked a little surprised and tilted her head to one side. Another Espurr mimicked the motion. They stared in silence before Daisy finally looked back and gave a nod. Kris giggled and clasped her hands together. “Good.”

Aaaaah, they were so glad she loved the kitties. And she somehow got even more precious when she was excited. Ah-- aaah Arceus eyes stop doing that. They blinked a few times to dispel that urge, they watched her fawn over the Espurr.
It just... made them so happy to see her happy. To see her at all. And.. and... they still had no idea what to say or do. Didn't they plan this all extensively first? Why was it so hard now to think of any way to react besides standing here being awkward.
They needed to.. say, something, lest she think they were giving her the cold shoulder or couldn't talk if they wanted to. Just. Anything. Open. Words forced out. Now. "I'm sorry," was all they managed to squeak. Good fucking job Kiran.

So distracted with the kitties was Kris that she didn’t even really think to expand her telepathic range back audible levels. The white noise that was Kiran’s distress would be ignored up until they spoke, and immediately Kris was confused. “Huh?” W-what were they apologizing for? She was so happy to see them? They were so happy to see her? What was— what was wrong? Looking back to Kiran, she stood a bit taller and stared at them for a moment.
Oh they were…. Uh? Nervous? Or something like that? “…Do… you maybe wanna go somewhere else?” she asked, her eyes flickering around briefly before recentering on Kiran again Was that why they were nervous or? Was she even reading it right? This is intrusive. Oh, oops no she— she didn’t want to be doing this to her extra special friend even if it helped their situation.

"I-I uh..." Thoughts too jumbled for Kiran themself to decipher swirled around in a panic. Just.. just stop, just settle down, just focus.
This wasn't working. This--...duh. Good.. good fucking job Kiran you could've thought of this five minutes ago. Face burning, they gave her a 'one second' gesture and turned away, pulling out their phone. Tick tack tippity tap tap...
Kris's text notification sounded.
-- I'm sorry, I'm just really overwhelmed. I'm so happy to see you but I don't really have close offline friends and I don't even know what to do with myself now? haha... --
-- ... It probably doesn't help that you're so much cuter than I ever imagined heh --
Was.. that weird to say? Would that be taken as a compliment or kind of creepy? Er.. she was legal now so it shouldn't b-- that was not the best terms to be thinking of this. But really they just. They guessed they always assumed she was self-conscious about her appearance to not have shared any proper photos, like Kiran themself was albeit for different reasons. Like they never thought she wouldn't be cute to them but they were expecting like... 'average' to 'oh you're too hard on yourself you're totally cute', not.. Holy shit she could easily be a model or a movie star or something and that level of dissonance was adding to the overwhelmed feeling.
They'd... never actually met an online friend before either so they super extra had no idea what they were supposed to be doing right n-- Hug her, some errant thought demanded. They-- well she hugged them first but they already did th-- Kiss her. NO?? What? Their face shifted from pale red to crimson. That was never part of the agenda where the fuck did that come from. (But wasn't that the sort of thing that happened in movies with situations like this? Well yeah but movies didn't focus on bffs very much did they. Ugh why was this so complicated this should be so easy.)

Biting her lip, Kris turned down her power as low as it could go so that only white noise persisted. Yet… yet? She uh? Still… did not know what was wrong or what to do or? The one second gesture had her pausing, waiting. As her text notification pinged, however, she quickly pulled it out and read over the messages that came.
O-oh, that made sense kind of?? She didn’t really have friends like that either, but she’d learned to deal with it and uh— ///////// ????!??!?! Looking at Kiran’s back, Kris stared for a moment before looking back down at the phone. Nope, it was there, right there. So much cuter than I ever imagined. Warmth did touch her features, and a soft, nervous giggle did escape from her right then.
Slowly, her thumbs drummed over the letters.
-- Hahahah thank you! -- -- I guess I should have shown you clearer pictures or something?--
She paused and bit her lower lip before typing more.
-- I… guess now is a good time to say I’m actually kind of a celebrity? Or… I was-- -- So I didn’t want to post too many pictures online --
That was… part of the reason, anyways.

Should have shown a clearer picture? A nervous breath of awkward laughter slipped from the back of their throat. Would that have even helped? Logically, yeah, probably. But right now their feelings were mostly geared toward 'she is such a shining beacon of perfection and I could not possibly be worthy' so they were having trouble imagining it changing, heh...heh?? Eh..
A-- "What??" The reaction slipped out before they fully processed what they were reading. Wh-... Was she some kind of model or-- Wait. They looked at her face as carefully as they dared. They... knew her as Kris or Kristal or Comet but it was... Kristina? Wasn't that right? That was.. a common enough given name but combined with her features now they felt like...
V... Vi.. Va..? Oh c'mon they weren't usually big on celebrities other than voice actors and a few select shows they kept up with but they used to love that one movie about the snow fairy girl and they could swear Krissy would be a spot-on-- ... Hey genius you're holding a phone.
One quick Google search later had them more confident asking (if still stammering), "Kristina... Vasiliev??"

Kris jolted some as Kiran spoke aloud again. She blinked and waited, but when there was no other reaction, she chewed her lip and just waited for whatever reaction text was coming next. I could just… listen in… Despite her best intentions, she found herself expanding her Psychic range again, ghosting over Kiran’s surface thoughts as she had been before. V- Vi – Va Viva? Viva La Vida song? Huh? Oh? Were they texting now or—
Kristina Vasiliev. Oh. They had… figured it out that quickly? A small blush did come to her features at that. “I… yes? That’s me!” She at least tried to keep a sense of brightness about her. “I … uh … actually came back to Veria partly to start acting again!” Sort of, kind of, close enough.

Oh. Oh? Oh wow, oh, uh. Another nervous half-laugh. "That's...." She was. a literal movie star, and they'd shown up in shitty anime cosplay. Ha. haha.. ha?? Oh boy. Wow part of them almost wanted to be bitter about just how far above them she felt ahaha...
Hazel eyes darted between her and their phone and the scenery around them and... They opted for texting again as they headed over toward the base of the statue, sitting on the pedestal and briefly giving her a questioning glance and a nod toward the spot beside them.
-- That really is awesome. I remember at least one or two of your movies but I guess I'll have to go home and binge watch the rest tonight now huh? lol --
... This was a stupid-ass thought and they were gonna regret it. -- I gotta ask though. --
-- Do our alien overlords KNOW you're blessing mortals this much or is this space princess rebellion? --

Before she had a chance to block them out, a rush of Kiran’s thoughts hit Kris. Light eyes blinked wide, alarmed. She wanted to say something but— ??? They were walking now, and she found herself uncertainly following after. At the nod, Kris nodded back and sat down, drawing up her knees to her chest and just waiting for her phone to ping. I remember at least one or two of your moves – Kris wanted to giggle, but then came the second part—Binge watch the rest tonight. Her cheeks warmed to a rosy red. She might have said something then but her phone pinged again.
!!!! A squeak giggle burst from Kris as she read over the next couple of lines not once or twice. Looking back over at Kiran, she shook her head only to lean in a little close to their ear. “I’ve come to make you the commander of my armies, Commander Kiran,” she whispered quickly excitedly. “We leave for the Lunala Galaxy at dawn! We shall become rulers of the galactic empire soon enough! ”
