"Um... hi?" Ivan said lamely, peeking out from behind his tree awkwardly. The boy looked around Jordan's age, with snow-white hair and hazel eyes. He wore a dark vest over his undershirt, with long pants stuffed into hiking boots. His clothes had a few soot stains, mostly near his sleeves, and adopted a sheepish grin that didn't quite reach his eyes. "Uh, um..."

She didn't expect him to be here. " Who are you? " she asked.

"The name's Ivan- I, uh, was looking for my friend and found the whole ice trail thingy-" he slide out from the cover of the tree, "sorry?" He cringed, the apology sounding more like a question.

She sighs. " Its okay. "

"Yeah," he scratched the back of head, instead turning a questioning gaze on the girl. "So who are you?"

" Mai. " she said.

"Well, it's nice to meet you," he said with a friendly grin. "Oh, what are you doing in Wisteria woods? I've never seen you around the guild.."

" I'm not from around here. No where near here. " She said.

"Oh, where're you from then?" Ivan tilted his head to the side.

" Another universe. "
