Snow stepped around the couch and plopped himself down next to her somewhat enthusiastically. It was always good to see a smile on someone's face, especially in this place. It was nice to have a good, normal conversation, too. Maybe the distraction would take his mind off his queasy stomach.

"It's Snow." Anise, huh? Well that was a much easier name than her doll's. Nice, too. "Ha, I never noticed there were so many kids here before."

If he actually stopped to think about that, he'd probably have found it kind of worrisome. For now, it just seemed like a funny coincidence. "So where you from, Anise? Anywhere around here?"

He already figured she was from somewhere on Pulse. He wouldn't recognize the name of the town, no matter what. But he was kind of curious anyway. Besides Fang and what he'd gathered from being here, he really didn't know anything about these people or Pulse. In fact, he'd always thought there weren't even people living on Pulse anymore, let alone this many. Maybe she was familiar with the area, too.
