Leorio led them all to a park. Placing a nice blanket over the grass, then every box of food, drinks and folding chairs were placed. With a happy sigh, Leorio plopped down on his seat. Grabbing the sandwiches, chicken wings and a nice beer.

Kurapika sat beside him on the chair with the best shade. He crossed his legs and opened a book over his lap. Slowly easing into the comfort it brought.

Nahida knelt on the ground, marveling at the smooth, bright green grass. She's never seen such a shiny glaze over natural grass before…

Gon and Killua shared a look, then knelt beside her. “What are you looking at?”

Killua narrowed his eyes. “It's just grass. What's so interesting about it?”

“It's a different grass.” Nahida smiled at their curiosity and looked at them. “I know it's a little weird, but I can tell this grass has been fed and taken care of differently. Instead of nature, mankind has helped them grow. So I was interested in seeing its differences.”

Gon and Killua stared in silence, before Killua stood. “Yeah, I'll leave you to that.”

“I do think it's cool, but I've never paid attention to the grass. Only the different plants and their uses.”

“I see. You're interested in nature?”

Gon beamed with a nod. “Hmm! I grew up on an island! I ate all kinds of plants and remembered what each one did!”

Nahida nodded in understanding, even a little wonder and amazement with how wide her eyes were. “Eating them is quite common, but…”

She giggled sweetly. “The mental image of you running around eating plants, is a little funny.”

“Hehe!”

Killua looked back, catching the store bought pie filled with whip cream. He smirked and slowly reached for it.

“Where did you grow up, Nahida?”

“In a forest.” Her nostalgic smile made Gon tilted his head. “One filled with wonders, and people seeking more knowledge.”

Gon opened his mouth to ask more, when a hand grabbed his shoulder and shoved an aluminum pan into his face.

Nahida barely saw what happened before Wanderer snatched her away from the mess. She held his neck, looking between him and Killua.

Wanderer frowned at Killua's cheeky smile.

“Be more careful.”

Gon's shoulders trembled. The pie fell from his face, skin covered in the crumbs and frosting. His eyebrows twitched, voice strained with mild, playful annoyance. “Killua…”

His friend hurried to run, snatching another pie from Leorio's stash. Gon ran after him, grabbing two pies for revenge.

Wanderer sighed and placed her down. He was going to leave, but Nahida tugged at his clothes. He looked back at her. “What?”

Her warm smile made him pause. “It's nothing bad, I just wanted to tell you something.”

He knelt on the ground, meeting her gaze while hearing the laughs and giggles from those two.

“You've decided to investigate Greed Island?”

“Yes.” Nahida didn't feel the need for explanations. Wanderer's gaze told her he knew the reason.

When did their connection grow so much?

“Are you going with Kite?”

“What other option is there?” Wanderer turned his head to the soft groan. Seeing Leorio stand and pull the pie off his face, eye twitching while looking at Gon and Killua. Gon had turned his body, evading the pie Killua threw, which landed on Leorio instead.
