Hitomi screamed as she sat up quickly in the bed, beads of sweat on her forehead, and the blankets having been kicked off to the ground. Hearing the gentle patter of the rain as it hit the windowpane, the sound calming to her ears as she let out a long sigh, slowly getting up and looking around. The dream quickly forgotten, not even knowing what it was about, but still feeling her heart beat race. It was early morning. The door to her room was half-open as if someone had come in but she wasn't sure and so shrugged. But stopped as she looked at the post of her bed, and saw a dress laying on it, beckoning for her to wear, and so, after glancing around and making sure noone was around, she changed into it. The black dress hugging her sides nicely it having no straps and gently fanning off at the bottom, stopping at her ankles. A pair of matching strap on heels, she felt funny wearing such things, wondering if she always wore them, but she couldn't remember so shrugged, now turning to the door once more and raised a brow. Gallic was standing there, although back turned, and not going to look until she said it was safe to, but speaking aloud in that strong voice of his. "Her majesty wishes your audience for the judgement taking place in the courtyard this morning.." Hitomi smiled and nodded stepping up to him slowly and silently, seeing his dark brown hair that was short and slightly spiked at the top as he stared ahead. He looked no more than 18 and his armor just as dark as the rest of this place, covering his muscular body, she never noticed how handsome he was before, although only having gotten a short look at him. Smiling still Hitomi stepped up beside him "Alright.I'm ready then" letting out a small chuckle as he jumped suddenly, a little high strung he seemed, although she didn't blame him, she wanted to spook him a little, just to see his reaction, wondering if he knew she was coming and so she guessed seeing his reaction he hadn't his cheeks flushing a light red as he scanned her over, then turned once more ahead of him. Clearing his throat and nodded, now leading her out of the room and into the hallway. Noone spoke for a moment, then Hitomi, hating such silence spoke but softly, not wanting to hear her echo again, it made her edgy, and these walls where the same as the room Celeste was usually in, dark and easily able to shoot back your voice. "Where am I anyway?" She asked, she knew basically where she was but not exactly, besides it was something to talk about. He nodded understanding and as he kept the same steady pace, glanced at her a moment. "You are in Gaia. A large world, very beautiful as you have seen by now and at peace, well until 5 months ago anyway. My.master and lord Van had an argument about that log ago, I don't know what it was about, and so.they never got over it." He seemed to be hiding something else not wanting or not able to tell her. But Hitomi just nodded softly keeping her gaze on him and her smile remaining on her face the whole time. "Gaia." She whispered as she pondered but snapped out of her thoughts and asked another question " What's your name?" "Gallic.I'm well, I'm just Gallic" he nodded and smiled to her his dark blue eyes catching her gaze a moment but then he turned them back ahead of him. "That's a nice name.What's mine?" She asked so suddenly trying to trick him into telling. "Hit."He stopped walking a moment and raised a brow looking at her, then shook his head and chuckled he wasn't supposed to tell her that " I don't know, maybe you should as her majesty next time you see her, she would know.." he spoke this time being more careful, but smiling none the less, she was clever. Noone spoke for a while now passing through two marble doors and coming out to a pass long rows of pillars holding up a roof above, that blocked the falling rain. It looking like walls of water around then, Hitomi smiled, letting her hand gently be caressed by the cold water, and then looking at her escort once more with a small sigh. "..uhh..gallic?" She asked one more question, btu he didn't seem to mind, nodding lightly as he turned his gaze to hers once more. "Yeah?" he asked wondering what she would ask this time, but was prepared for anything. "why..cant I remember anything about myself, and yet..i can remember the rain, the sun, named of objects, and the smell of roses, but I cant remember who or what I am, and why im here!" she closed her eyes drawing in a shuddered breath as she hugged her arms lightly feelign about to cry, confused and scared all over again. Gallic stopped walking and placed his hands on her shoulders to stop her aswell and for some comfort smiling softly at her, no words needed, not wanting her to cry. Hitomi looked up at him her gaze now locked on his and smiled back feeling a sense of knowing when she was around him. Glad she had him as a friend, or so she thought of him as one anyway, and so she nodded lightly wiping her cheeks lightly, seeing the rain start to stop, now only a small drizzle and whispered. "Thanks.." He nodded, and let her go slowly, turning his gaze back ahead of him and started to walk once more, Hitomi right beside him and together they walked towards the courtyard
