[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.]]

Thank you ma'am. ...But who are you?

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

My name is Natalia. What is your name?

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Nephry.

...You have a pretty name Miss Natalia.

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

Nephry? My goodness, you're so small!

[a soft sigh. It says, 'I know. The boys always say that when they don't want to play with me.' And even though her other arm is sore she brings it up so she's hugging her doll with both]

Yes ma'am.

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I was your size when I was your age. Come, let's get you someplace warm.

[Action]

[Nephry slowly takes her hand, wanting to close her frozen fingers tight in Natalia's warm ones. But don't pull too hard! She'll try to keep up.]

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

So tell me, where are you from?

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

I'm from Keterburg. Where are you from?

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

I am from Baticul. But I have been to Keterburg, it is very lovely.

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[Stop.]

But isn't that in Kimlasca?

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

Yes it is.

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

But how did you get all the way to Keterburg?

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

I traveled there with my companions. By ship.

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

But why would anybody from Kimlasca want to come all the way up here?

[It should be clear this is a line repeated. She's heard someone else - maybe several someones - several adults, make this comment. It doesn't make a lot of sense to her in terms of global politics yet but she's got the intonation down.]

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

It was for something important. We had to go there.

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[Well. Nephry has seen a soldier's uniform before and Natalia is not wearing one. So maybe she's not so bad. ...And she doesn't look strange.]

Miss Milly's arm is hurting.

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

Her arm...?

What happened?

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[but it's her own arm she's trying to keep away from Natalia. Of course.]

I don't know Miss Natalia. It just hurts.

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

Well, Nephry... I can heal her arm, if you'd like. I am a Seventh Fonist.

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Like Professor is?

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

Professor?

Ah, you mean Professor Nebilim, yes?

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[Nephry nods very quickly] Do you know her?

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

I have heard of her.

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[for a while she seems to be thinking about that]

Miss Natalia, am I you prissiner?
