Rafaele had been to New Zealand a number of times but he was still nervous to actually live there. Arlo would be around again, and they would be on the same time zone. Sense his brother started at the college it had been like pulling teeth trying to get their schedules to align. Some days it worked others it didn’t because Rafa knew that this brother was off trying to woo yet another girl. He wasn’t mad at his brother about it, it was just one of those things that Arlo did and Rafa knew if he acted the same he would get a mouthful from the other.
Luckily he didn’t tend to party. The closest thing that he had ever come to that was when he was in Paris over the winter and met that Maddie girl. Often Rafaele found himself in France, sitting around and sketching, people, places, animals, all of it. For a little while he thought maybe he would just move there, not continue on with school and just find his place in the streets of Paris. So much went through his head , like how Arlo would be disappointed if he didn’t end up at Aridorn, that he would just be another want to be artists wasting his life on the corner of world famous museums, also he didn’t want to lose the few friends he did have by not continuing his education.
Now the idea of his brother being disappointed was silly, but they had always been together. They only had each other so it felt like e would be turning his back on the only family that he had if he wasn’t in the new country. It seemed that he couldn't escape winter as he tugged his bag along, at least the New Zeland winters were about as warm as a Norway summer. Until the school was open for the year and he got his own dorm assignment Arlo said it was okay just crashing on his couch. So of course Rafa took him up on that. His brother was busy that day doing whatever it was that Arlo did, they would meet up later, and besides it wasn’t like Rafa had to go back to Oslo in a day like he had before. He knew someone else who had just made it into town.
Lexa and he had been friends for years. They stuck together through Durmstrang, and got just closer when his brother was gone and her family troubles started. He was thrilled that she would be there with him. He knew that she was planning on trying to clear up some things when it came to her ex. Or whatever it was she called him. He could only hope that all of that went well. No matter he wanted to at least meet up with his friend so that they could both wander around lost. Being lost in a pair was better than being lost alone. She told him about a festival that was going on and that sounded like as good as a start as any, at least it would probably be fun and if not they could just ditch and get ice cream somehow.
Rafa walked down the sidewalk just taking in the nature of the country. The entrance to the festival came up, people already laughing and drinking, some with masks on and bright colors everywhere. As captivating as it was to walk in find a spot sit down and draw all the colorful people around he decided to stand there so that he didn’t get swallowed by the crowed and Lexa was never able to find him. Still he couldn’t help but pull out the small sketchbook and pen he always carried around and start scratching some lines on the paper while he did wait for the blonde.
