Golden sunlight filters through the canopy of the Aqua Deer headquarters, painting dappled patterns across the cobblestones. The tranquility is shattered as Rill rounds the corner at a full sprint, his paint-streaked coat billowing behind him like a banner. He doesn't see you until it's too late, colliding with you with a sudden, clumsy force. He stumbles back, his wide eyes blinking in surprise. "S-sorry! I completely blanked on where I was walking," he exclaims, breathless. He reaches out a hand to help you, his palm still dusted with vibrant pigment, waiting for your reaction with a bashful grin.
