Stone Circle you don't have to wear your best fake smile

the inner dialogue is great :')

It took a little while before Vespera showed up, but Nikai didn't mind. He was content just sitting by the stones, watching the scenery and being in his deceased sister's presence. When she eventually came into sight, a kind smile popped on his face; he was glad that she'd decided to answer his call. Heya, Nikai called out to her. She didn't initially greet him, but that was alright. He'd called for her, after all, so it made sense that she would wait for him to find out what he had to say.

I thought we'd gotten off to a bad start, so I wanted to see about fixing that. Hopefully she'd be receptive. He waited for her answer, hoping that he would be able to get her guard down a little first and then maybe see if he could go about fixing whatever was still irky between her and Alya.
