53. [voice/action]

[silversnowfall]

I wish there was still snow to play in. Don't you Miss Milly? Now it's just muddy.

[Nevertheless, Nephry and her doll are on an adventure! Trying to get to the library. She loves books and a whole new library full of them is so exciting. She fumbled open her journal while walking, to ask for advice]

Does anyone remember how to find the book place? 

Ah...a-ah-CHOOO! [the book hits the ground]  Oh...I sneezed. [and she promptly sneezes twice more]

[[ooc: Still tiny as an aftereffect of mallynapping. Small Nephry is sad about winter being over so soon. Poor confused snowkid.]]

[It's an aftermath of individual experimentation, though. Rather, it should be. Who's to say Nephry wasn't returned home and then taken again from an earlier time? Gelda's seen stranger things happen.]

... Would you like a handkerchief?

[Gelda immediately turns her chair to face Nephry entirely, leaning forward to place a soothing hand on her shoulder.]

I'm sure it won't be much longer now. You'll just have to hang in there a little bit longer.

Why can't we leave?

[At this point, Gelda just pulls the girl into a fullblown embrace. There isn't much she can say, because the truth is far too harsh.]

[Nephry curls up tight in Gelda's hug. She doesn't know what else to do.]
