[Tatsuki's sitting in the doorway of her hideout, with a can of soup between her feet. She can feel the night's impending onset and it sends a shiver down her spine.]

When can we finally go home?

[Galatea slowly sits down next to her, but not too close - Tatsuki seems like she needs her space.]

I don't think anyone has the answer to that question.

[firefists]

[Tatsuki looks over and sighs.]

I wish there was. How're you holding up?

[godeyes]

As well as one can in such a place.

[firefists]

[Tatsuki musters a fake chuckle.]

Yeah... you got a place to hole up tonight?

[godeyes]

Yes, although I might move to someplace different tonight.

[firefists]

Ah right. Changing places probably is a good idea... Have the demons found your place yet?

[godeyes]

Not recently.

[firefists]

Well that's good. You currently bunking up with anyone? Pardon all the questions Sister, it's just, I've been thinking everyone here needs to gather together and band together. Maybe then we can figure some of this out.

[godeyes]

[she chuckles a little under her breath. She had been spending most of her time alone - that's just how she works.]

I prefer to work alone - but I know enough people here to stay safe.

[firefists]

[Tatsuki nods.]

If 'Hime wasn't here, I'm not sure I'd be worried about getting everyone together like this.... but I know for a fact that there are a couple of helpless kids running around here and I think we need to protect them...

[godeyes]

I've only met one or two children here, are there really more?

[firefists]

Well, there's Trucy and Rika... And Mammon looks like one....

Well, it seems we all need protecting come nighttime....

[godeyes]

I haven't met this Mammon character, but isn't Trucy about your age?

[firefists]

She can't fend for herself Sister. She's smart, but... she needs protecting still.

[godeyes]

Then that bares the question, can you protect her? You're just a normal girl too.

[firefists]

[Tatsuki laughs.]

You're talking to the second strongest woman in Japan. I'm far from helpless.

[She doesn't like bragging though.]
