[One of the older Hal's has decided to take a wander around the nexus. He has a complex look on his face, hidden in his eyes, and only those that knew him deep down would know that he was indeed in a thought provoking state of mind.

He is contemplating various things, mostly about his life back at home and wondering if anything would change due to the circumstances here. He ponders the older Sunny he has met here in comparison to the younger one from his timeline, along with his salt and peppered Snake that he missed. Not that he didn't enjoy the older David, by any means. ~~Both of them in fact. He was very fond of them, and held a great love for them that he couldn't quite put into words.~~

Truth be told, he missed his life at home. He wondered things that probably everyone here did; did time stop? Would the Snake of his time, along with Sunny, join him here eventually? Or was this something he was meant to face alone? Were they safe? Was he dead?

It got to Hal more than he cared to admit. It made him feel physically sick that something might be happening back at his time that meant Snake and Sunny might be in danger. They were a package, after all. Without one, the other couldn't function.

Hal had found himself at a room that was both very familiar, and very alien to him. The replica of Shadow Moses was perfection. The snowy reminicents of a past he both detested and held close to his heart. While it had been a difficult time in his life, he wouldn't change it for the world. It was here, after all, where he formed the strongest bond of his life, where he finally realized his importance, that he was needed.

Of course, there were other reasons why he felt so fond about this place. While Wolf had never been 'his', he always held a soft spot in his heart for her, and always would. He looked back on how pathetic his former self was, and realized just how much he had changed and developed as a person... as a human being.

Stepping inside, Hal felt his feet crunch against the crisp, untainted snow. He breathed in the cold air, huddling up into his coat. His gloved hands curled up slowly, clenching the leather material into the palm of his hand.]

This feels like home...

_{((ooc: Feel free to poke him, or just wander around yourself. c: He probably won't be very talktative.))}

[He folds his arms when he steps out into the cold. He's not sure he wants to venture out any farther, but like a moth to a flame he's drawn to re-explore-]

[Hal turns his head to the familiar voice, fixing his eyes on Snake. He stills briefly, before turning his head to the front again.]

It's kinda cool, isn't it? ... _{No pun intended.}

[He turns to find Hal and his bad pun but that's okay. Snakes can appreciate horrible puns.]

Otacon. What are you doing here?

Reminiscing?

[Hal touches his glasses for a brief second, eyes drifting towards the familiar yet unfamiliar Snake.]

Mostly thinking about life back at home.

Yeah?

[Snake sighs because he misses his Hal. He wonders if this Hal misses his Snake just as much.]

[Of course he does. While he cared for the Dave that was currently here, he still felt nostalgic about his Dave at home. He tried not to show it in his face, and so he turned his head away.]

You think life just stands still while we're not there?

...

I don't know.

[I am afraid-]

I don't wanna think about it, but I...

[Hal closed his eyes, tensing his shoulders.] _{What if they're alone? There's no way for me to find out... to tell if they're okay.}

Well...we're alone here.

Some people have had their loved ones end up here, too. Maybe you might get lucky.

[He hugs himself.]

[Hal turned his head over towards Dave, frowning lightly. He suddenly felt very selfish for wondering about his life at home when he already had a Snake for himself here. Granted, the two he cared for were older, but they were still 'Snake'.]

[After a sudden moment, Hal wrapped his arms around Dave, embracing him to keep him warm.] _{No one should have to be alone here.}

[He jumps slightly at the sudden hug.] I'm fine. [Lie.]

[He quietly slips his hands around Hal's waist. Snake isn't one to turn down a free hug from a Hal.]

You know, I'm a little older than the Hal you're used to. [Hal murmured, resting his head against Dave's shoulder.] _{Plus, I know what you're like as your older. I know you can't lie very well.}

[He smiled a little, tightening the hug. It felt familiar, again, but slightly different. Not bad, though.]

[He grumbles against Hal's neck.]

Hrrn...

[Snake grunts when squeezed. Hal feels so nice and warm and...plush. What the-?] [He smirks very slightly.]

I'll try to be here if you need some friendly comfort. [He closed his own eyes, murmuring against Dave's neck.]

Or if you... y'know... wanna talk.

Nn. [He blushes.]

'Talk'? [He's missed that. It's been a while since he's had a talk with Hal.]

[He pulls back, then he feels that cold air hit his slender neck again and he immediately regrets moving.] Geh.

[Hal chuckles briefly. He shakes his head briefly, but smiles at Dave when he pulls back.]

Maybe you should head back inside. I still have a little bit of thinking to do.

[He looks at him for a long time.]

...alright.

... [Hal thinks for a moment, how that must have sounded.]

Not that I don't want you around. I just don't want you to freeze to death talking to me. [He tilts his head slightly.] We could go somewhere warmer? I mean... Maybe keeping our minds occupied is better.

... [He looks back at him.]

I won't freeze to death. I used to live in Alaska, remember? [He sticks his, now icy, hands in his pockets.] It's fine.

[Hal scratched along the bridge of his nose, embarassed.]

Right... Sorry. [He glances towards Snake, frowning a touch.] You should find some better clothing, at least.

[He shakes his head.]

I've had horrible luck with clothing around here. I guess I should go back to that mall and try and find something suitable.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea...

[His eyes flicker back and fourth, watching the snow on the ground, and he grins a little sheepishly.] I need to find some more pants, in case any of my other younger selves wet themselves.

_Again.

[He folds his arms, shifting again, trying to keep himself warm.]

Heh. 'Again'?

Two of them! I can't believe how bad I was... [Hal grinned and laughed, watching Dave curiously, how he shivered where he stood. He shook his head gingerly.]

... Come here. [And wrapped his arms around him again in a feeble attempt to warm him up.]

[He chuckles for a moment.]

Hn.
