[silversnowfall]

[the voice that comes over the journal is tiny, but sure of itself. ...Even if she's shivering. Why is she dressed in something without even sleeves when it's almost always too cold to even go without a jacket?]

I-I think...I'm lost.

[and then, more quietly, and sounding a great deal more vulnerable]

Did you get hurt too Miss Milly?

[[ooc: Yes. Oh yes. Back from mallynap and small for a short while. Replies will come from alittlesilver until she grows up again.]]

[Anise was wandering around, on Tokunaga because she doesn't feel like getting her boots too wet today, when she spotted the lost little girl. Another new feather? A tiny kid, too!]

Hey! [approaches!!]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[the girl clutches tighter to the doll in her arms - well, one arm, the other held stiff at her side - but sits up straighter, refusing to be afraid]

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[As soon as she nears the little girl, Anise figures that approaching atop her doll probably wasn't the smartest of ideas. Oops. Hopping off, then!]

You're new, aren't you? You okay? You look really cold...

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

I don't know what happened to my coat. ['or my shoes or my regular snow dress or all the snow.']

[It couldn't be. It couldn't possibly be--! But the voice...and the name of the doll. Dist's hands shake as his journal falls onto his desk after he hears the voice. It really was Nephry, wasn't it? Those people actually tampered with her age to this point...

Swallowing the lump in his throat, Dist speaks softly. What does he even say?!]

Neph-- ...Little one, are you all right? Can you hear me?

[Voice]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Aah! [a voice that came from nowhere! But it's a man's voice, so it's not Miss Milly talking to her.]

I-I can hear you...

[Voice]

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[Oops, didn't mean to scare her, but he has to make sure it's really her, and get to her as soon as possible. It was getting colder now...she'd freeze if she stayed out there for too long, unprotected.]

D-Do you see a small book nearby? I'm using it to talk to you, little one.

[WHAT IS THIS, A TINY SAD CUTE THING?]

...Hello? Um...are you okay?

[voice]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[it is a tiny sad cute thing how did you know?]

Ah! ...Miss Milly? Was that you? [she's far too old to believe that dolls can talk...isn't she?]

[voice]

[flower-of-hell.livejournal.com]

[This is Rena. She can sense the moe.]

Ahahaha...no, my name is Rena.

...I bet it's really cold. If you can tell me some landmarks, Rena can come find you.

[Katara's 'little girl dressed in clothing far inappropriate to the weather' sense is tingling. Okay, maybe not, but when she sees the child in a New Feather dress standing around looking cold, she does immediately approach to smile kindly at her.]

Hey. Are you all right? You look a little lost.

[ action ]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[her instinct is to hold tighter to her doll but draw herself up to her full height (of like three feet, tops) and look Katara in the eye]

[ action ]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara continues to smile kindly, but does not come any closer.]

I'm Katara. What's your name?

[ Out and about again, he changes course when he hears and spots the girl. He approaches, though he's careful not to get too close lest she become scared. He bends down a little for a good measure. ]

Hello. . . . Are you all right?

[ action ]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[her expression might almost be called defiant if not for the fact that she's too polite to defy anyone so much older than her.]

It's very cold sir.

[ action ]

[hakoiri.livejournal.com]

[ He smiles wryly. Polite girl. ]

It is, isn't it? Here. [ He shrugs off the white jacket he'd worn outside ( -- blasted wings -- ), and offers it to her. ] Put this on. It's a little big, but it should keep you warm.

[... That voice.]

Oh my. ... Nephry?

[Voice]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[a big breath]

Professor?

[Voice]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[... Those Malnosso.]

Yes, that's right. Where are you, Nephry?

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

Are you all right?

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[Nephry looks her right in the eye, biting her lip and holding just a little tighter to the doll]

I think it's cold.

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes it is. Let's fix that.

Here, let's go find you something warmer, all right? You must have just arrived here.

[someone's on his way to pick up some bread for his sister's endless appetite

...why is there a little girl wandering around alone]

turning off notifs has its downside

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[She's not really wandering. Just sitting there, holding a doll and frowning at a book. The book has her name on it.]

[emp3thy]

[Minato starts walking over to ask if she needs help. Then he spots the upside-down name on the cover.
