Joshua smiled and gently took Shadow's hand before leading her away from the group, tossing the keys back to Mr. Fellows as they passed. He would lead the way to the swimming pool in the building, walking over to the edge while scanning the water. Once he saw who he was looking for, he sighed in relief.
"
Elyse, can you come out for a second!" He shouted, knowing the girl under the water would hear him perfectly. It had something to do with her powers and he had no idea how it worked.
For a few seconds, no one came but eventually, a girl wearing a plain blue two-piece swimsuit surfaced and climbed out of the pool, using her powers to get all the water off her, leaving her perfectly dry. The girl, only a year or two older then Shadow, looked between the two.
"
What's up?" She asked curiously.
Joshua moved Shadow in front of him.
"
This is Shadow and she's looking for a roommate. I was thinking you and your mother could look after her, since she seems to be... not the best at interacting with others." Joshua said.
Elyse smiled before looking at Shadow and extending a hand towards Shadow.
"
It's nice to meet you Shadow. I'm Elyse." She said.
Amelia looked over at Ryu when he addressed her.
"
You come back... right?" She asked. Apparently she was fine with him leaving, so long as he promised to return. Regardless of the response, she would look back up at Rin then, watching the older girl and wondering what would happen now.
