Ed ran full-tilt, or as close to it as he could with kind-of-crappy automail, dragging Pride by the wrist as his head whipped around left and right, trying to spot white fur. "ALEXANDER!" he shouted, hoping maybe the dog would find him, or at least bark.

As he rounded a corner, stumbling slightly but still running, he saw the large, white dog standing amid the milling locals, looking frantic. "ALEXANDER!" he shouted again, skidding, and nearly falling as he tried to avoid colliding violently with the sheepdog.

He dropped Pride's wrist now that they'd arrived and dropped to his knees in front of Alexander, grabbing at his ruff. "Oh fuck, I'm sorry! I should have been here!" he knew that getting hysterical wouldn't help anything, but he couldn't seem to stop his rapid, agitated breathing or the pointless apologies to a dog from spilling out of his mouth.

NiGHTS laughed at the look at Pride's face. She couldn't help it; people who weren't used to the nightmaren's freewheeling eccentricity were funny. Her amusement faded, however, at the mention of Nina, but NiGHTS still kept a happy expression on her face. "I sure am," she giggled, "but I'm afraid I don't really know anything. I found Alexander before, but he just led me to where Nina was staying before."

And then she had spoken to Jackle, and then she had flown into Reala, and things grew more complicated. NiGHTS had found herself looking after her almost-sibling until his strange, unexplained injuries had faded.

No time for that. NiGHTS swept into her usual theatric bow in lieu of shaking hands. "And who are all of you?"
