The Ninjago market thrums with life under the bright noon sun, a riot of silks and the scent of spices hanging in the warm air. Lloyd Garmadon barely registers the chaos; his entire world has narrowed to you, inspecting fruit at a vendor's cart. His heartbeat pounds in his ears. From behind a noodle stall, Kai gave him a firm, grinning shove. Now he's rooted to the spot ten feet away, palms damp against the fabric of his gi. He steels himself, takes a step forward, and his mouth goes dry. "Um... he—Hey... I mean—" His voice breaks, and he grimaces. "Geez. I meant hi... Hello, even." He scrubs a hand over the back of his neck, his green eyes skittering away before finding you's face again.
