[There's a small girl sitting on the fountain edge this morning with leaves in her hair and a ragged bandage around one wrist, kicking her legs idly and looking for all the world like she's bored to tears.
Except for her glare. Which is focused unerringly on one building and one building alone. ...well okay, potentially anyone who walks out of

...Except. Who is this girl and why is she glaring at the smithy?]

That can't be right. Who are you?

What? Who's asking?

No one of consequence. [Best movie ever. Besides:] And I asked first.

...Edward.

Are you a knight?

I am not, but I fight alongside Lord Sigmund, the greatest knight of my world.
[Except Sigmund is dead and Capell who is his son at the same age is actually impersonating him and jhhfdskjf it's complicated okay.]

Oh! I didn't know you knew Lord Sigmund. Did you help him unchain the moon?

...uh. Complicated can be fun? Sometimes? orz.]
Not yet. It is a duty I have to fulfill when I return. [But he doesn't want to return because Sigmund can't. Goddammit, Luceti.
...Wait a minute.] ...You know Lord Sigmund?

No, but I've heard of him from Empress Svala. He seems like a very dashing knight. I'd like to meet him one day. I'm a knight too, you know. [And then rather tentatively:] ...how is he?
Reply
At her question, though, he wilts a bit, because he's not here, ;_; Her knowing Svala is (for the moment) lost on him.] ...He is with the Malnosso, now. I don't know how he is.

Are they going to experiment on him, then?
[Disclaimer: small child may sound far more worried than those words imply.]
Reply
But while he's good at making children happy, comforting their worries isn't his strong spot. He can't really lie about this.]
...I don't know. [And it worries him.]
Reply
Well then.]
In that case, I'll just have to go bring him back. Would you mind terribly fetching my sword from the smithy?
[No, seriously.]
Reply
We can't do that.

There's no such thing as can't. [She'll hop down from the fountain edge now.] I'm sure they'll give him back if I ask nicely.
[And after that they'll share a nice cup of tea, and the Malnosso will apologise for bringing her here and send her on home. Yeees.]
