Aolani

Aolani walked beside her friend in a sedate manner, rather pleased to feel the fresh, warm Hawaiian air.

"It's times like these that make me glad that I live in Hawaii," Aolani commented aloud, a wide smile on her face. "I just love the weather we have here. It's always so perfect."

Her good mood deteriorated, however, when the image of the Witch's Labyrinth flashed through her mind. A slight frown now marred her face, and Aolani desperately tried to push that image out of her head. Now that they were out of the mall, the events of what they had...experienced that morning, were starting to creep back into her mind. Still, she did her best to ignore such...unpleasant thoughts, if just for the moment. Perhaps it was foolish of her, but she didn't want to ruin the mood of 'normalcy' that she had established earlier.

Besides, she wasn't about to talk with Chiyo about that in the open. She certainly didn't want to sound...insane or childish or whatever to any passerbyers.

Aolani forced the smile back onto her face, and her happiness started to become genuine once more when she and Chiyo came within viewing distance of her house. She did her best not to race over to the front door, mostly because she knew Chiyo wouldn't be able to keep up with her, and she didn't want to make her friend exert herself, anyway. Still, the blonde couldn't help but walk a little faster as they approached the modest, two-story home.

They were inside the house in quick order, and Aolani all but skipped into the main living room, a big grin on her face.

"Good morning, Grandpa!" she cheerily greeted, waving at an older man seated on an armchair.

Makaha Malo peered up from a book he was reading, and smiled grandly at his granddaughter. "Good morning, Aolani! It's good to see you home. And good morning to you too, Chiyo. How are my two favorite girls today?"
