Regret 003; [Action]

[returninghope]

[Yet another child of around six or seven is wandering around your streets tonight Luceti. Thankfully, this one is at least dressed for the occasion. He keeps glancing this way and that, getting more frantic as the minutes pass. Just.. just a moment ago, he'd been with his mommy and daddy. He knew enough to know that he was most certainly lost and lost was a very scary thing to be in the dark. Why wasn't his sister here?! He... he was going to find them before it got too dark, right?!

He's a bit too shy to just approach people normally, but he's starting to get desperate. If anyone bothers to pay any attention to him, he just might drag up the courage to ask for a bit of help. Even if it's from strangers.]

D-... Daddy...? Daddy, where are you?

[Kaori will continue to stare back, trying to understand her emotions still. Before long she gives up, and breaks into a small, shy smile. Her hands will find one of his and grab it gently, trying not to startle him any more than she already has.]

H-, hi?

[tinyjasmine]

H-, hi... [She's still blushing a little, but she's determined to try to keep him calm. After all, they were both scared, he's just being a little more open about it.]

[tinyiris.livejournal.com]

W-... Why are you outside?

[tinyjasmine]

The snow is pretty... It doesn't snow a lot at home, so I want to play in it while it's here.

[tinyiris.livejournal.com]

But... it's dark.

[tinyjasmine]

Y-yeah... [She can't help but inch closer, seeking comfort. She was terrified of the dark, but at least there were the lights from the village, and now he was around.]

[tinyiris.livejournal.com]

My... My name is Rikuto.

[tinyjasmine]

Mine is Kaori. [He's being so nice~.] Door to the earth...?

[tinyiris.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh!

And yours is...

[tinyjasmine]

[That makes her smile widen, not at all offended that he didn't know. It was a pretty common name, after all.] Fragrant jasmine, that's what Mommy told me.

[tinyiris.livejournal.com]

That sounds pretty.

[tinyjasmine]

[Well now she's blushing again, becoming just a little shy.] You really think so?

[tinyiris.livejournal.com]

I do. Do... Do you live here?

[tinyjasmine]

Nuh-uh... I woke up in a room here a days ago, I can't find my mommy and daddy.

[tinyiris.livejournal.com]

So... you're lost too?

[tinyjasmine]

[She nods solemnly, her hand squeezing his. She'd seen other kids lost here, but he's one of the very few she'd actually talked too.]

[tinyiris.livejournal.com]

... Let's go inside somewhere.

[tinyjasmine]

Okay. [She looks around, her hand still in his.] There's a bakery and a flower shop, they're warm...

[tinyiris.livejournal.com]

Okay! Let's go to the bakery!

[tinyjasmine]

[To the bakery it is! So she'll lead the way, happily humming as they strolled along~.]

[tinyjasmine]

[Good thing Kaori didn't see it, or else she would have been crestfallen. Before long they are in front of the bakery, her eyes lighting up at the prospect of warmth and delicious snacks.]

[And full of tasty treats! She pulled them in further, marveling at all the food. The book said that everything was free, so... Dig in?]
