[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.]]

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.]

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

[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]

[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?

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

Prisoner? Of course not, Nephry, why would you think that?

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Because Jade told me that if I was bad then people from Kimlasca would come and make me a prissiner.

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

Well, you haven't done anything bad. Jade doesn't know what he's talking about.

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

But he's very smart. He's a...a proggery. Usually he's right.

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

Prodigy. He is wrong this time, I can assure you.

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[her shoulders slump a little] Prodigy.

[But she starts walking again, all the same]

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to look at that arm, first?

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Oh, y-you don't have to.

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

I do not mind at all, you know.

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

...Okay.

[she shifts her arm out from under the borrowed coat. Her own arm, that is, not the doll's. It's bruised and swollen but otherwise fine.]

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

Ah, all right.

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[As it stops hurting, Nephry breaks into a smile]

Thank you!

[Action]

[forkimlasca.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

Now that that's better, we can get to the store.

[Action]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Yes ma'am.
