"Uh... excuse me, Miss?"

Someone was poking Kiera, stirring her from her sleep.

With the realization that she's being touched, instincts kick in— swiftly shifting her body, the ravenette uses her leg to sweep the persons feet out from underneath them.

There was a yelp followed by a 'thud' as the individual landed on their ass.

Opening her eyes, Kiera is met with the sight of a guy who looked to be somewhere around her age, possibly younger. He wore a teal-blue shirt and pants crafted from some kind of animal skin. Around his waist was a thick rope -Kiera wondered what was up with the ropes in these folks outfits- and another rope as a headband.

He had similar stone Okobos like Kohaku, and two tan bags slung over his shoulders like how one would wear a crossbody purse.

His hair was a deep brown, along with his eyes— those dark, doe-like eyes made Kiera think of Tony, causing her heart to skip a beat and her stomach twist uncomfortably.

Tony...

Kiera wondered how he was, and how Thor had to break the news to him that she was gone.

She knew he wouldn't be taking it well— they had a father-daughter relationship, even if neither of them would've admitted it.

The male waved his hand in front of her, pulling her away from her thoughts— he looked concerned, which didn't help Kiera because it looked eerily similar to when Tony would give her a worried look.

Pushing down the strange sense of nausea, she nodded.

"Sorry if I spooked you— can I ask why you slept outside? I know the hut is a little cramped with Senku and I in there, but it beats sleeping on the cold ground."

It sounded like he was choosing his words carefully.

"Right, uh— I'm just a little claustrophobic." Her tone awkward.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

At first, she was surprised he had no idea, but then she reminded herself that these villagers aren't exactly knowledgeable in certain terminology and phrases.

Kiera could see a burning curiosity glistening within those big brown eyes— his expression held so much innocence in this moment.

"It means I'm very uncomfortable with enclosed, cramped spaces."

"Okay, makes sense now. Sorry about that, then. Senku and I's current goal is to build a science lab, so when that's done, I can always just sleep in there. That way, you and Senku have more room, and you won't feel the need to sleep out here."

Her gaze softened a little at his words, "That's really nice and all, but you don't have to do that— you were there first."

He chuckles, "Hey, don't worry about it! I don't mind, really. Plus it's technically Senku's hut, and he told me that I'll be sleeping in the lab when it's finished."
