[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.]]

It's not! [... Boo, this is hard.]

Look, I promise it's totally okay, okay? We're not gonna get in any trouble.

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

...Well...okay.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[She sighs. This... is going to be a handful and a half.]

Here, Miss Milly wants you to hold her again. Think you could do that, while I put your coat on you?

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[Nephry nods and takes her doll back, holding her tight. It's the only familiar thing so far in this place.]

Miss Anise, why do I have feathers? They don't want to come off.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

They're wings! Everybody here has them, it's really weird. [She moves to pint out her own, but they're folded under her clothes, um.]

It's a really long story, but basically? We're a long long way from Keterburg now.

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

...We are? But...I'll get in trouble. I'm not in school and...Jade will tell.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[... School. The Professor teaches at the school - Nephry knew the Professor at this age, and and]

[Anise blinks. Give her a few seconds to think of what to do.]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[she sits down somewhere nearby and shifts the doll so it's sitting in her lap.]

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[Okay, she needs to think quick.]

Hey, hey Nephry. You won't be in any trouble, okay? The Professor won't get mad and I'll make sure the Col- your brother won't tell on you.

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

I believe you.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[Oh. ... Oh, that's a relief. She'd been worried she wouldn't - she'd have no idea how to handle that.]

Thanks. [A little smile.] Come on, how does that hot cocoa sound about now? I dunno about you, but I could really use some!

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

It sounds good!

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[Anise figures she should probably contact the Professor later on, but for now she'll take Nephry home where it's nice and warm and hot cocoa can be had!]

Great! What about pie? We can pick one up from the bakery!

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Well...okay. That sounds good too.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

All right! [Anise fistpumps the air! And then holds out her hand for Nephry to take.]

It's pretty cold out there, so do you wanna take a ride on Tokunaga?

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[she let's Anise take her hand even though her arm is sore.]

What is a tokunaga?

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

Oh! This is Tokunaga! Here, see? [Shifting her shoulders around to shrug the doll off and into her free hand. Ta-daa!] He goes with me wherever I go. ♥

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Oh, is he your doll?
