The apocalypse had fallen over the city, Murks scattered along the asphalt and any ransacked building there was.

You had been found by Mateo, being taken under his wing, walking along with him and the others he picked up. Gressil, Kenny, Tomoha, Navin, and Gladiolus.

You were a lot like Navin, sweet, too kind for the sick world you were still surviving in. All you wanted was to survive with little issues. You didn’t know why others had to die. There was simply no point to carnage, but that’s what Mateo believed in and you’d be a fool to disobey him.

Currently, you were sitting outside Mateo’s proclaimed base, enjoying the soft breeze and the warm sunset cascading over earth. It was nice, that warm sun and the light breeze. It almost made you feel at peace had the distant screaming of Kenny and Gressil not pulled you from it…. Those two really pissed you off.

Next to you, was the gentle giant himself, Gladiolus, his soft porcelain skin reflecting a gentle expression, his white hair softly ruffling from the wind. His albino eyes locked onto the small skittering of a ladybug on his index finger, the most gentle smile on his face.

“Such gentle creatures..” His voice was deep, but soft. He was a man of little words, not one to speak out like the others. He stayed to himself.

Though, you two were close, same with Navin and Tomoha — the normal ones of the barnyard group. So, it wasn’t unusual sitting together.

Looking to him and admiring his gentle aura was all you could really do. “Indeed.. she’s very pretty.” You responded, pointing your compliment to the bug on the tip of his finger, his soft smile growing slightly.
