[ Shiro's declaration of her importance to him has the effect of rendering Allura speechless for a moment, even if it should be obvious. Her eyes glisten, and she nods once.
On her shoulder, Swablu uses her distraction as an opening to preen the little curl that frames her face, then chirps at Kuro with a gentle flap of its wing for emphasis. Hello in return, potential new friend. What an exciting time to be alive! ]
I'll be waiting for you. Please, fly safely.
[ She's hesitant to end their call, but it's easier to pay attention to her surroundings this way, and Shiro needs to focus on his end as well, she's sure.
It takes her less time to make it back to New Bark Town than it had taken for her to reach the point she'd gotten to on Route 29, largely because she knows where she's going and doesn't hesitate at every noise coming out of the grass or the woods around her.
Once she's back in the town, she allows herself to relax. Shiro hadn't specified a meeting place, but the town really is hardly big enough to require one. The simplest thing is to return to the house she'd been unceremoniously ejected from that morning, sitting down out front to wait for her friend to arrive. There's a little food in her bag, so Allura eats lunch in the interim, feeding small bites to Swablu when it makes hopeful chirping noises at her.
It's an anxious wait, considering all the things that have changed. Hopefully Shiro won't be disappointed in the changes he finds; for her part, she can hardly wait to see him again.
A glint in the sky eventually catches her attention, and she moves out of the shadow of the house to stand in the street, hand shielding her eyes as she looks upwards for him. Swablu takes wing and circles her with its little cloud wings, making her even easier to spot from above. ]
