♪ third hymn. [Action]

[seleniahymn]

[It's kind of hard not to notice the sudden influx of noise when most of the village is sleeping at this hour. Tear sets down the book she was reading and stands up, moving toward the door of House 1 with knife ready in hand. Opening the door...

What the-? Wasn't it a bad thing if people didn't have their wings in this place?]

[Shivering because it is cold and she is lost and she just wants her mama and papa okay.]

[But the person who answered this door still isn't her mama or papa!]

[... Just clutches her oversized Tokunaga to herself, trembling a little bit.]

[seleniahymn]

[Tear almost didn't see her, but it's kind of hard not to notice that large Tokunaga doll. Oh no, what happened to her? She'll be kneeling down to her level, trying to be as comforting as possible.]

Hey, what's wrong...?

[lilguardian]

[Ffff, the stranger's talking to her!]

[... Well, she seems nice. Anise hastily scrubs at her eyes with tiny fists, determined not to cry.]

My Papa's too good at hide n'seek. I can't find him...

[seleniahymn]

Hide and seek? [By this time she's figured that the newcomers are likely not New Feathers, but whether this is her Anise or not she can't leave her alone.] Do you want me to help you look for him?

[lilguardian]

Can you do that? [Staring up at the stranger in awe.] Papa's good at hide'n'seek if he wants t'be.

[seleniahymn]

We can try, at least. Where haven't you looked?

[lilguardian]

Ummm. Lotsa places...

We're not in Daath anymore, and...

[seleniahymn]

You're right, this isn't Daath. But that doesn't mean you should be scared.
