[Maria relaxed a little between the two Shadow's as her friend allowed her to hug a little closer. She felt his arm around her waist and she bumped her head lightly to his before giving a quick kiss of gratitude to his cheek. Much like she had to the other Shadow. Though her overstimulated nervous system ultimately craved the deeper pressure of a tighter longer hold, she still felt completely safe and protected between the pair.
The hug as it was, did not last for long, and Maria sagged back on her heels and leaned into the other Shadow's warmth when her Shadow sat before them on the pavement. It was thankfully quiet despite the pounding music from within the colosseum. There were still beings wandering about and keeping their distance as they traversed the square at the base of the stairs or went in and out of the colosseum itself. Of course there were the ever present camera drones keeping tabs on everything.
Oh, Shadow was giving her the look after she spoke of the other Shadow dancing with her. She recognized it as the one he always had when he was chiding her for overexerting herself. Since it had been a slow dance, she didn't get any adverse effects and looked forward for another opportunity at a later time. Due to the serious nature of the conversation, Maria refrained from doing her usual playful responses such as winking or sticking out her tongue. She simply looked down at her lap.
She was quiet as she worked on centering herself as she held onto the other Shadow's hand. She resisted the urge to wrap an arm around him like before, not wanting him to be uncomfortable. She was grateful that he was still at her side through all this. The pair conversed, speaking of shelter, but also about the mission that sent them all here and how an exit could present itself.]
Aurora had told me that we wouldn't be here long. [She confirmed.] I don't know anything of this Gamerunner's Stratagem. But...as for shelter, I found out there were apartments in the Agora for competitors. I...I think what kind of room and amenities you get depends on the amount of points.
