Celestia wasn't sure how much time had passed, but the rain didn't seem to be letting up and somehow she doubted it would anytime soon. The weather was starting to make it a little cold and the girl shivered a little, jostling the bird from where it was sitting on her knee. The small creature gave a slightly annoyed chirp before fluttering up to nestle in her hair instead.
The white haired teen sighed a little and was debating if it was worth leaving her temporary shelter when a hand appeared in front of her face. She blinked a couple of times, gaze turning upwards until she saw the hand's owner. "Wow, they're pretty..." The figure had long pink hair and dark blue eyes and Celestia was admiring their appearance so much that she almost missed what they said.
"Why hello there. You appear to be sad... Are you lost?" She tilted her head to the side slightly, the little bird on her head seeming to so the same, and she was about to answer when the other spoke up again. "I seem to have lost my way as well."
"You got lost too?" She looked up at him for a moment more before turning her attention to his outstretched hand. With a soft sigh, she took a hold of his hand and allowed the other to help her up. "Thank you..." She bent down slightly, brushing off the small amount of dirt that clung to the skirt of her school uniform before straightening up.
The other teen made eye contact with her - Celestia absently noted the height difference between them - and he smiled gently before speaking once more. "My name is Chevalier. I thought that my bad luck was going to be continuing for a while, but it seems that it has turned around now that I've found you. We should try and find a way through the forest together, the buddy system really does work best in situations like this."
Celestia tugged on a lock of her hair before tucking it behind her ear as she mulled over what Chevalier had said. "I'm Celestia, it's nice to meet you... I got separated from my class chasing this little guy-" She gestured at the bird perched on her head. "-and I got all turned around and I can't find my way back." She gave an embarrassed shrug at this, looking down for a moment before putting on a smile and locking eyes with Chevalier again. "Trying to get through this forest together sounds good, much better than trying it alone I guess. Which way were you heading before? Maybe we could carry on that way, unless you had another plan?"
She didn't mind which way they went, as long as she got out of this forest at some point. Making her way back to her class would be easier once she knew where she was, though she couldn't help but wonder if they even cared she was gone. She had been parted from the group for a while now, surely they'd have started looking for her?
Still, she had company now, and he seemed really nice too. And he was really pretty, Celestia liked his hair most. She clutched onto the strap of the bag that held her camera. "I probably shouldn't take a photo of him, not without asking at least. Maybe later once we're out of here?"
