It had been a tiresome day of emails entailing empty promises of returning to the narrow reality. What was initially a two week vacation had become more or less into a two year stay. Countless times had he attempted to pack, just to be interrupted by a shrill voice begging to stay just a little longer. Each instance listened. He wished that he could say that it had always been Klef’s, but that was only the first, the rest, well, he was not sure where it came from. His fans could wait. It was more than likely that Juniper would not come across a magical island quite like this again, so despite the demons and other uncomfortable aspects, he was out to make the best of it. When he first arrived, he would have never fathomed going to a who-knows-how-many-stories interdimensional mall. One year later, here he was, waiting for a dimension crossing elevator, a freshly minted copy of Summoning Made Easy.

As luck would have it, the last few stops he had to make were all on the same floor, or well, dimension. That stretch-band Klef was yammering on about, cat food for the strays outside their apartment, and a- Oh dear… what was that last one again? Thanks to the wonders of modern technology and an extensive five minutes spent typing it all out beforehand, the shopping list was on his phone. All he had to do was open up the app. Of course he went on to scroll through his notifications instead, hoping to get a response from several business inquiries he had made to some shops on the island earlier. Though a seven foot figure had entered his peripheral vision as the elevator reached their level, Juniper had found it best not to look to directly into such anomalies. After walking in, he politely blocked the door from closing with his hand. Under the impression that he would be watched, because how could one not, he switched back to his shopping list.

Eli had come to this... peculiar shopping centre after hearing about a shop selling pretty cheap products. Seeing his current financial situation wasn't exactly desirable, and he certainly needed food to survive, he decided it was worth a shot.

As he walked, he looked in his journal at a list of items he felt he needed. It was mostly food, but there were a few such clothes. Those ones were more question marks, since he wasn't sure if this store he was going to be checking actually had any of these items. He sighed, leaning against the wall as he stared down at it.

He then heard the elevator doors open. He glanced up for a moment and instantly scowled. He recognised Juniper fairly easily, much to his own annoyance. It would only be a couple minutes at most, he can deal with writing in his journal and ignoring the other person in the elevator for just a couple minutes.

His hand fell back its usual resting position after letting the stranger enter through the elevator. The lack of a ‘thank you’ was excusable, albeit, only under the circumstance that this person, or being, was unaware of human customs. Perhaps, it was reciprocated through a silent gesture of gratitude by some alien being. Juniper looked up from his phone to see if this was true. No, it was just Eli. Now that made sense. From the limited experience they had wandering aimlessly through the woods that one time, Eli wasn’t the type in favor of manners. This was typical of him.

A great deal had changed about Eli since their last encounter. Surprisingly enough, growing an entire foot was not as common of a thing as Eli played it out to be. However, this new difference in heights did not deter Juniper as he turned to Eli with a wry smile. He glanced up to the security camera. The ride was only thirty seconds or so, which meant he could say really anything he wanted to. “ You know, people always say that people are slowly forgetting manners these days. I’d agree if it wasn’t for your crusty ass.” He paused. “ Pleasure to see you again, Eli”
