Amanda Young | 05 | [Action]

[fallen_from_grace]

[While seeing a little girl about six years of age in a place like this may not be so weird...what IS weird is that she's got a little blood splattered on her clothes. Not the fake stuff either, this is still wet and still very fresh.

Wiping her face as she tries to get out of the way of all the people, she can't help herself. She starts to cry. She's scared and all these people are bumping into her and she saw a man that had been bleeding. (She just didn't know that she did it.) Running over to cling to a potted plant, she just looks around for her daddy. He was going to be mad..if she didn't find him soon, she wouldn't be getting food tonight and maybe tomorrow either...he'd just drink that stinky stuff and lock her in her room. Her room being a cupboard under the staircase.

Falling to her little knees, she just sobs quietly.]

...Why are you crying?

[And then he sees the blood. and has a reaction of D: and assuming it's hers.] do you need a doctor?

[fallen_from_grace]

[Looking up at the little boy, she almost doesn't answer. He's a stranger...but he's a kid like her and not that much younger from the looks of it.]

I need to find my daddy...he's going to be so mad...

[She's not able to stop crying completely, but she tries and at least her words can be made out.]

[has_a_phd_in_teddybear]

Daddy's are scary when they's angry. [He nods, as if agreeing with his own sentiment. He holds out a hand to her, not wanting to just pull her along in case he makes her cry more. That would be bad.] I'll help you find him.

[fallen_from_grace]

[Watching the boy warily, she slowly moved forward to take his hand. She was already breaking the rules, but if they found her daddy, he might not be too angry.]

Won't your daddy be upset with you though?

[She didn't want him to get hit for trying to help her...]

[has_a_phd_in_teddybear]

Not if I'm helping you find your daddy. [He grins, and he's pulling her off through the crowds.]

[fallen_from_grace]

[Tightening her hand around Deans, she follows behind him as she looks around.]

Maybe we could find somewhere higher?

[has_a_phd_in_teddybear]

That sounds like a good idea! [He stops, and starts turning in a circle to look, he bites his bottom lip thoughtfully. He points to a second-floor window.] Like up there?

[fallen_from_grace]

[Following his pointing, she tilted her head for a minute before nodding.]

That'll work. C'mon.

[Pulling his hand, she started walking again.]

...What's your name?

[has_a_phd_in_teddybear]

'M Dean. [He's all too happy to be pulled, trotting along beside her to keep up.] What's your name?

[fallen_from_grace]

[Dean...deciding it was a good name, she nodded after a minute.]

Amanda.

Do you...remember how you got here?

[has_a_phd_in_teddybear]

Nope! I was just suddenly here, but my mommy's here too, so it must not be a bad place. I think she must have got me on surprise 'acation.

[If there's one thing Kyoji can't ignore, it's a crying child. Especially one that could be injured. So as soon as he figures out where the crying sound is coming from, he instantly goes over there to try to comfort her. He moves slowly though, and smiles as he crouches down to be closer to her eye level. He was doing whatever he could to make himself as non-threatening as possible.]

Hey, what's wrong? Are you hurt?

[fallen_from_grace]

[Uh Oh...

Shrinking back from the big person, she shakes her head mutely. There may be blood on her clothes, but she knows it's not hers...she wasn't really sure where it was from, but she'd already checked for a wound.]

[whitebrother]

Did someone close to you get hurt then? If you tell me where they are, maybe I can help. Or at least help you find your parents.

[He's assuming she's another "NPC" child at this point, but even if she is he can't just leave her there. If there's the slightest chance they have feelings, he'd never forgive himself if he didn't try to help.]

[Slowly, reaches out to her, hoping she'll take his hand.] What's your name?
