[imatreenow]

[He had made several attempts at contacting her in the weeks after his escape from imprisonment, but eventually grew tired of the empty pang of disappointment that echoed more loudly with each failure. The question of when she would come back has run through his mind day after day. Quickly, he's realizing he needs her (a friend, someone) now more than ever. He's a mess, and trying not to be, but it doesn't work like that. So he opens the journal once more.]

Kaori? Are you there? Can you hear this? [He'll wait, forcing down a swell of timid hope.]

[Kaori had been playing with some blades of grass outside, the magical book that had appeared beside her when she woke up this morning flat on the ground. Though she didn't quite understand how to use it yet, it was nice to hear people talk and all sorts of fun stuff. But a lot of what she had heard over the past few days had also been scary.

Not that hearing her name being called out was scary, but it was definitely unexpected! Peeking into the frame she'll pick it up, wondering just who it could be.] Hello...?

[voice - September 1]

[imatreenow]

[...this is neither of the two expected results. Except for the disappointment: he was half-prepared for that.]

...Who are you? [But there's something...familiar about...]

[voice - September 1]

[tinyjasmine]

My name is Kaori. [Tilting her head to the side, she continues to look curiously at the picture of Mithos in the tiny frame. He was certainly pretty...]

You called me, mister?

[voice - September 1] 1/3

[imatreenow]

[...What? She's--]

[voice - September 1] 2/3

[imatreenow]

[His instinct is to hear lies; distrust is always best, even with a child. But...she does look like...]

[voice - September 1]

[imatreenow]

[...She's back. A lot younger, but here.]

Yes...I did. [.........This is...odd. How should he explain?]

[voice - September 1]

[tinyjasmine]

Oh! [A smile lights up her face, always happy for someone new to talk to. He seemed okay, at least.]

Are you lost?

[voice - September 1]

[imatreenow]

I'm not lost. [Not in the literal sense. He knows where he is; everything else is what raises so many uncertainties and leaves him wondering where to go.]

I just... [wanted to know where you were. Hm.] My name is Mithos.

[voice - September 1]

[tinyjasmine]

Mithos...? [She hadn't met him last time she was here, nor had she heard of him. But he wanted to talk to her, right?]

How do you know my name, Mister Mithos? Are you Frey's friend?

[voice - September 1]

[imatreenow]

[A familiar knot clenches inside him: anger, hatred, disgust, distrust. Of course the human had found her and taken advantage of her willingness to trust. She didn't know any better yet.]

I know him. [his tone betrays nothing of the loathing he holds for Frey.] ...You don't have to call me 'mister', you know.

[voice - September 1]

[tinyjasmine]

I don't...? I guess that's good! [Her parents had taught her to be polite to people she didn't know very well.]

So how do you know my name? Do you want to be friends, too?

[voice - September 1]

[imatreenow]

I know your name because Frey told me about you. [He feels like he shouldn't tell her that he knows her when she's older. That could get sticky. He does have to smile quietly at the other question.]

...Yes, I would like that.

[voice - September 1]

[tinyjasmine]

You really mean it? [Her voice is obviously excited, she hadn't known that Frey had talked about her to other people. And to think that one of them wants to be her friend!]

[voice - September 1]

[imatreenow]

Of course. [Even if she doesn't remember, even if she hasn't gone through what would eventually build understanding between them, they're still friends. She's still Kaori. And if a human is trying to get too close...]

[voice - September 1]

[tinyjasmine]

Yay! [The journal shakes as she stands up quickly in her excitement, she was so very glad to have another friend here to talk and play with.]

Does that mean we can see each other soon?
