[ The first thing he notices is that he appears to no longer in be in constant, agonising pain. Pretty easy thing to notice, all things considered!
The second thing is that it is fucking cold. Minato sits up with a jolt, drawing in one sharp breath, eyes wide for just a few seconds as everything comes flooding back: noise, people, sunlight, life...the boy's breath rises and falls for some time, just staring straight ahead, before he manages to get himself together enough to notice anything other than broad concepts.
He appears to have been laying on a park bench, bundled up in his usual winter clothing, a name searing itself indelibly into his conciousness within those first few seconds. Elphaba...whoever that was, he had to get a present for Elphaba.
Then someone yells at him to get a job and he sits up properly, swinging his legs off the park bench. People walking past, a hot-dog vendor over there, ducks...and everyone is speaking- what is that, English? It is.
Curiouser and curiouser. Minato feels a few weights on his person and gets to investigating: his mp3 player and headphones are back, thank goodness, and his Evoker is tucked into a safe inner pocket. That just leaves this odd cellphoney device- he tugs it out and looks down at it, eyes still hazy from sleep and confusion. ]
...a city? How?
[ H-help, guys. He has no idea what's going on. ]

[and she trails off, hugging her arms to her stomach momentarily and then rubs her arm.]
It...can be nice. But...it can also be dangerous.
action;
[ Excuse the brusqueness, but it's all going rather fast for him. He leans forward, elbows on knees, starin' that stare. ]
action;
[her breath catches.]
I didn't m - mean to worry you.
action;
It's alright. Thank you- you've helped a lot.
action;
[SHYING AWAY FROM YOU. no touching. 8(]
Do...you want me to show you around?
action;
[ Whoops! Hands back in pockets, then, and he gets up. The Blackberry gets tucked away and he gives her a nod to lead on. ]
action;
seduce himtell him things as they walk.]What would you like to know? I mean, we are all generally safe and t - they feed us. And we all have rooms.
action;
oh baby, yes please.he falls into step easily beside her, just glancing her over. certainly very, very cute... ]Rooms...that's good. What does it want with us?
action;
we'll geeeeet there. she already has a pseudo boyfriend][Mina blinks]
It...? N - no, it's a she. And author and we're sort of her... Play things.
action;
...great.
action;
[nevermind her brother is looking at a love interest more than at her, and that he finally seemed to get the hint that she doesn't want anything to do with, or from, him; all it took was her screaming at him that he was finally got caught killing someone. clumsy.]
Re: action;
I won't- I don't have any. But thank you anyway.
Re: action;
[she seems touched. sadly touched.]
[...you fuckin' pathetic cunt]
action;
All dead. But it's fine.
action;
[you know how genuine that sounds? so much.]
I... I don't know how I'd function without my brother so... If - if you need a friend, I'll - I could be your friend.
action;
[ Bawww, you are such a sweetheart! Minato's heart grows three sizes, and he dips his head in a small nod, hiding his smile. Poor boy has no idea what he's in for. ]
I'd like that.
action;
[and a tentative movement that looks like she was going to take his hand. only to chicken out.]
action;
So...tell me more about yourself.
action;
I...p - people don't really ask me that a lot. [and she clears her throat] - I...what would you like to know?
action;
action;
I have a...well, I told you - a brother. He's two years older than me and blond, like our father. I got our mothers hair.
action;
And you're close with him?
action;
He's the only family I've got left. I don't know what I'd do without him... I might already be dead in this place.
[wing whip and everything aside, this is true. because you can't use a branch of sin when you're bleeding all over the floor in an almost deserted hallway save for you and your would-be murderer. which she hates to admit to herself, really, although the brief moment of disgust is covered flawlessly by the seemingly shy omission; ]
...I love him a lot.
action;
So he just nods a bit again, and tries for the reassuring smile. ]
I'm sure he loves you just as much. Be hard not to.
action;
I mean, we fight sometimes, but what siblings don't?
[she gives a weak laugh and looks off to the side and -]
Oh. There's an ice skating rink. Do you want to... I mean, I was going to go -...
