Nahida & Wanderer In HXH

°Exchange of Stories°

Kite led them inside a mansion deep into the woods. Its large, wooden structure blended in with the trees surrounding it and seemed to have five or more rooms inside. Nahida held onto Wanderer's hand while they walked, her heart steady among the vast nature surrounding her.

As they approached, six people came out of the mansions front door. A lean girl stood with her arms crossed and hip tilted as she observed them. A large man, one taller than the others, had a bear face and white sideburns. He stood behind the others while gazing kindly at Nahida.

In total, there were three women, the lean girl that observed them, a much shorter girl with her hair in a bun, and a medium-sized woman with short, baby pink hair. Three men, counting the white bear behind them, one whose hair reminded them of a bush, and a short boy with round glasses.

Kite looked back at them, using his hand to gesture to either Wanderer or Nahida as he introduced them.

"Wanderer and Nahida."

He turned back to the group.

"Everyone, introduce yourself."

Interesting, was a word to describe each of them. The pink haired girl introduced herself first with a small smile.

"I'm Banana Kavaro. Since Kite brought you here, I'm guessing we'll be working together."

Nahida couldn't believe that was her actual name... But after hearing everyone's name, she noticed a certain pattern.

The man with a big afro smiled like a feline.

"I'm Stick Dinner."

Banana, dinner... The big man that stood behind everyone had white, bear ears that stayed still as he nodded. He spoke in a low tone, one they couldn't hear. The girl beside him who had shamelessly stared at them pointed to him, then to herself.

"He's Monta Yura. I'm Spinner Clow."

Banana, Dinner, Monta, Spinner... The small boy beside her spoke through his beaver teeth and nodded politely after speaking.

"I'm Lin Koshi. Nice to meet you."

A small girl with round lips nodded gently, her hairstyle moving with her.

"Podungo Lapoy."

Alright, it seems two out of six names were inspired by food. Nahida nodded at them and smiled politely while hoping she could get the story behind each name.

Wanderer slowly blinked at the names and nodded in greeting. Nahida glanced at him, tilting her head and making him smile. No doubt, he knew she was wondering why he hadn't laughed or mocked their names.

He simply closed his eyes to signal that her curiosity wouldn't be sated. The girl that observed them with a slight frown spoke, Spinner was her name.

"So, Kite. Who are they?"

He answered simply with his tone neutral as he looked over them.

"My new disciples. They'll stay with us in the mansion while learning Nen. Also, they're both hunters."

With a nod, everyone smiled and swallowed their questions. The hunter title seemed to put them at ease. Or, at least it stopped any questions from being asked.

Kite took the groups silence as permission to continue the Nen lesson.

"Now, it's time to see which Nen type they are. Lin, can you bring me a glass of water?"

Lin rapidly nodded and ran inside the mansion. A few minutes later, he came out while holding a chrystal cup filled to the brim with water. He carefully gave it to Kite, who gently took it from his hands.
