[ Vivio has been getting increasingly worried. She knows there are zombies out there and knows everyone is in trouble. And more than anything, she really wants to help. But without her adult body, Vivio knows even her Strike Arts aren't going to be useful. She'd just cause more trouble and put more people in danger when they tried to protect her.

So she's trusting Arf and doing her best to support her. By, at this moment, bringing her some snacks as a treat. ]

Arf! [ She announces her presence first, because she doesn't want to startle her. ] Arf, I brought you some treats and water! Is this a good time?

[fatefullfriend]

[Arf's head raises and she stops upon hearing Vivio's voice.]

For now. Don't stay out long.

[But something smells good, so the wolf pads over.]

[withavividheart]

I know, I know...

[ Vivio instantly regrets the tone she just took... but she hates being so helpless like this. ]

Here. I got some cookies and stuff. You're doing a good job, so... [ a pause. ] ... Does it seem like it might end soon?

[fatefullfriend]

[Arf's ears droop a bit at that tone. She knows Vivio wants to help, but she doesn't have her magic back yet and the girl's short stature won't do anything against zombies without it.]

You'll get your chance eventually. Just, for now, let me do what a familiar is supposed to do - take care of her master and her master's family.

[She sniffs the cookies and tilts her head a bit. That wasn't what she'd been smelling. Was some idiot outside barbecuing during a zombie invasion?]

We're in a bit of a lull. I don't know when more will come or if it's over. Just listen to the phones. That will tell you better than me.

[withavividheart]

Right, I guess that's true... I wonder if we have a portable phone or something... I don't know much about the 1950s on Earth, let alone the 1950s in Earth's USA.

[ She's disappointed in herself for this, but knows it's nothing to get hung up over. Her hope for finding a portable phone remains, though. She'd like to be able to sit out here with Arf and let them both listen. ]

I wonder how all of this started...

[fatefullfriend]

They don't have portable phones in this time period.

[Arf decides to give up trying to find that delicious scent and eat the cookies.]

Blegh.

[withavividheart]

Arf?

[ Vivio now looks a bit concerned. ]

Sorry, are they bad cookies?

[fatefullfriend]

[Can't tell the child the cookies were tasteless, but she can't really lie...]

Too much sugar for my stomach right now, I think. It's okay.
