[ceres academy is a bit of a ways from the shopping district, especially for an eight year old. and especially for an eight year old who should probably be going straight back to ludger's apartment afterwards. but knowing he'd probably be at work at that time, and also knowing she's hungry for a bit of a snack?
well, maybe it wasn't always the best thing that elle had learned how to ride the trains pretty well back in elympios. besides, if she just went there really quick and came back, nobody would know, right? right? everything is pretty safe when it's not being weird, and she may or may not have taken a few detours out of her own desire to not have to rely on ludger and milla so much. the problem with this is the fact that she can't actually remember where the food stall is that has something she likes.
instead, she finds herself in front of a stall with some pretty unfamiliar food. well, unfamiliar to her at least, and she can't help but scrunch her nose at the very red looking food. food, right? it should be.]
Ick. That looks really spicy... [how do people eat things like that? too spicy! it doesn't smell that spicy, though. it smells kind of sweet, like peppers... but it looks spicy. she should probably stay away, huh? help. please take the small child with no spice tolerance away from the giant vat of tteokbokki...]

[elle manages to make it back to the residential district undetected and without issue... somehow. maybe it's best not to question these things, or even talk about them for fear of giving ludger, milla, or anyone else she knows from back home a small heart attack. either way, she's quick to head into the apartment she shares with ludger, throw her things down where they go...
and immediately run back out to head to the playground while there's still some light left. going to school all the time is hard! she's still not really used to it since her situation was so different back home, even if that's what the normal kids all did. so losing out of valuable playtime when there's not really anything else for her to do (it's not about saving worlds or helping ludger with jobs to pay off massive amounts of debt at this exact moment), seems silly. why waste it? she's not planning on it, so elle heads to the swings.
...but when she gets there, she spots a small, but familiar face hanging around. right, she was the one who showed him where this place was. now... what was his name again? it was pretty unique, so it doesn't take her long to remember—]
Cynbel! [she calls out, waving an arm at him with a grin. she's in a pretty good mood right now, so her sass levels are a little bit lower than their last encounter. well, for now at least. it's amazing how much can change with the passage of a few weeks and a lot more caring and familiar faces trying to distract her from her problems. they're all but absent right now; if anything, she's excited to have a playmate for a bit.]
