It was hard to stay unconscious when being jostled around, but all he really got from it were flashes of movement, scenes that didn't stay fixed in his mind long enough to really register where they were from. The sensation of being carried was strange, and he gripped on slightly at the odd feeling.

Where... where...

A big building loomed up out of nowhere. More movements, bumping. The feeling of upward motion... pressing down on him. Closed his eyes... voluntarily, at least. It was hard to keep them open.

Faces. Other people. Voices. Probably talking about him. Something soft, and he finally was still. Soft all around. He curled up slightly, attempting to burrow away in it, letting his mind ease.

Safety. Unconsciousness was all too quick. His body relaxed into the grip of slumber.

"To be honest... I don't really know. Though, I think it's more they're afraid than anything." Which was true; they are afraid. "It's still not fair, though. So if they start, let me know, okay?"

In other words, you ~~have been adopted~~ have an older/younger sister now. Wat do.

"... all right." It's a bit strange, to think of this young woman as some sort of authority, but it's better than nothing and he acquiesces for a moment. Then, the real curiosity kicks in and he regards her carefully.

"You didn't know me before, then?"

"Only once, but you didn't tell me your name then, either."

Which was true, and if she'd heard that thought then Aqua wouldn't be surprised, considering the fact that he hadn't seen her in action (when he could remember) just yet. Still, for now? He could probably use somewhere to rest that wasn't such a public place.

"My apartment is a few floors higher, if you'd like somewhere more private to rest for the night. The people at City Hall will want to talk to you like they do for everyone when they first arrive."

But considering how he was right now, it would likely be a bad idea for him to go now. Aqua wouldn't want him to become overloaded like...

"Oh... I'm sorry." Perhaps it had only been in passing, or there hadn't been time. Being in full possession of his faculties, he would have assumed he would at least introduce himself to people he met. It was hard to say the circumstances of that meeting, though. There must have been some reason that she kenw him by sight alone.

The idea of somewhere quiet was nice though... the buzz of voices and activity around him was getting a bit draining. He did need some proper sleep at some point, though napping on the couch was nice enough. Thinking about it made him sleepy, and he managed to stifle a yawn. "That's very kind of you to offer... thank you."

"It's alright." Or something much, much more grave... yet she would not speak of it for now (or likely at all, if she could help it). Instead, she simply smiled, offering a hand when she stood. At least in his condition, he completely missed the communicator attaching itself behind his ears.

That was something else she'd likely have to explain once he slept. Oh joy. "It's no problem."

Aw, someone sounded tired.

Oh... she wanted to go now. He sat up slowly, blinking a little and pulling the blanket around himself a bit more tightly. Moving around would help wake him up a bit if nothing else.

"You said that you and these people take in the lost... who exactly are you?"

She was about to turn around and likely lead the way to her apartment when he said that. ...Talk about being blunt when it came to matters of the heart. Even not knowing what he was asking, it took all she could to keep herself from saying that she was lost, too.

"I guess you could say I'm a guardian of those who lost their way."

A Guardian of Light; the lone beacon in the darkness.

His face twisted into an unreadable expression for a moment as he took that statement in. Slowly he rose to his feet, keeping the blanket and the warmth and security it offered. It was the only thing that really felt real at the moment... for all he knew, this girl and the other one could just be odd illusions of whatever was happening in his mind. Like... the other person, the one before the buildings.

"Lead on, guardian. Show the way, then."

Aqua nodded faintly, leading to the elevator. Of course she would lead, even though something about turning her back on him made her skin crawl in warning: 'Don't do it.'

Yet she did... and nothing happened. She still smiled as she led the way. Maybe a little silent, before asking one thing.

"Is there anything you'd like to know... about this place?"

Small talk; she could handle it.

He was so focused on moving - one foot after another, slowly trailing after her, shivering slightly - that when she spoke, it took a moment for him to process what she'd said.

He thought for a while about that, mulling things over. There was much to know about this place, wherever it was, but...

"There will be plenty of time to learn about this place. Tell me more about the other people, the ones who found me, the ones in that room."
