[Now that she's had a little time to cool off, Kagome is better able to appreciate the beauty of the park around them. It's like the more she sees of this place the more normal it gets, when it should be just the opposite. Sure, there's strange moon phases, but apart from their animalistic features the Prismals seem just like normal people.
Even the hill they finally settle down on reminds her of the countless hilltops she and her friends have sat on during periods of rest, taking in the views around them. Never ending valleys of green grass mixed with stretches of dirt road.
Okay. So the feudal past definitely has different scenery compared to this sprawling city, but both are beautiful and unique in their own way. The differences certainly don't seem to matter to the pang of wistful longing that surges through her at the thought of home.
She shakes her head suddenly, trying to clear away the melancholy thoughts. It's then that she realizes she's fallen silent for a long time, lost in her thoughts. Taking a peek over at Cloud, she wonders if she should say something to start a conversation. Even in their short time together she's starting to get the sense that he's a bit on the quiet side.]
So...Cloud. What do you think about this place? I was just thinking about how normal everything seems. When you...ah...ignore all the strange stuff. [There is a lot of strange stuff. But then again, her history books haven't exactly prepared her for all the weird demon stuff she would encounter when she fell into the past either. Her tolerance for strange is probably stronger than an average person's by now.]

Mm?
[ Kagome's intuition on his quieter nature was on the nose. Although admittedly, there was something about the girl that was piquing his curiosity a bit. Besides showcasing what happened when she was miffed about something (dragging him along? a bonus feat,) the fact she'd almost immediately associated the trick with magic made him wonder. Was she familiar with this kind of setting- or at least spells? Because if he were still new to this place, he wouldn't have been able to make heads or tails of it at first.
He's about to ask when she breaks their silence first, leaning back on his free hand as he gives her his attention. What did he think of this place? His feelings were all over the place, if one were to get an honest answer out of him. Not only was his greatest enemy here (and yet not at the same time), but a combination of his family and those he's lost were back in his life. That's ignoring all the aforementioned "strange stuff" that Kagome was referring to.
Cloud seems thoughtful at first, his head bowing for a second or so before he looks back up to her. ]
Sounds about right. It's pretty normal when you get rid of all the tricks.
[ But that's not the question at hand, was it? He knows this as he sets his gaze to the sky. ]
At first, I wasn't so sure how I felt. [ A beat. ] All I could think of was how quickly can I get back home. That I've got family waiting for me. Now...?
[ He's still not 100% sure. But then he thinks of not only those he's been reunited with, but those he's met in his short time here, his expression lightening up a little. ]
It's not so bad.

But after she found out that InuYasha was already here...some of the initial panic and desire to leave lessened. She can't help but wonder if she should feel bad about that. Her desire to be by his side being stronger than her desire to go home.]
But you still miss them, right? Your family?
no subject
Of course. [ His distant gaze that spans across the fields and skyline that's somewhat veiled, soon returns to Kagome. Just saying those two words fills him with more confidence in that belief. No matter what happened here, he refused to forget what was left behind. ] I still wonder if life's still moving. Or if the kids even know we're not there.
[ Did everything stop? He's still not sure... ]
But, I'm not alone either.
[ Impromptu hand holding didn't count. But, his thoughts immediately return to Tifa. Then everyone else he's met here. ]
