[Walking quietly toward the description she had been given just a bit ago, by Rin...apparently no more than six years old today, the prefect kept her eyes open, glancing about for the stray child in question. Zero was behind her, the silent guardian having come as usual. Neither had said much today. Lately, she wasn't really sure what or how to act around him. Forcing him out on favors like this...always bothered her too. But Zero liked children, and she knew that he too didn't want to leave two children to wander the streets alone...especially in a place that was often quite dangerous. So here they were both looking about.

Hearing a voice ahead, Yuuki looked up...to notice a boy, no more than 12 ahead of her. Near him...she saw what unmistakably had to be Rin. Picking her feet up at a jog, she ran forward to the two of them hurriedly.]

T-There you are! I'm glad you're both okay.

[Anotsu blinks at her, suspicion settling briefly on his features before he once again relaxes into stoicism.]

Who are you?

[Next to him is Rin, who looks confused at first, but then smiles in recognition.]

Hey, it's the nice lady from the box!

[Slowing down, Yuuki held her hands up to prove that she didn't mean any harm in what she hoped to be a peaceful gesture.]

It's okay. My name is Yuuki Kurosu. It's like Rin-chan just said...I was speaking to her a bit ago from the communication device. I would...along with my companion, like to try and help you.

Alright.

[He keeps his eye on the older girl. Maybe she can help. He's not quick to trust adults, but he wants to know what's going on.]

What's happening, anyway?

[Rin just nods along.]

Yeah, what's happenin'?

[You're cursed she thought, but knew that wouldn't really be a great explanation. Not to a child that didn't know that they were actually supposed to be an adult. Fairly short, it didn't take very much for Yuuki to get down to their level. In fact...she thought the boy might actually be as tall as her. How was that fair...?]

You're in a place called 'The City'. It's a pretty uncreative name, I know. Don't be too alarmed. Consider it a mini vacation, you've been taken here for the day. I think you should be able to return back home tomorrow, though. I'm kind of in the same position as you, but a bit more long term.

[She gave them both a sincere look.]

I don't feel too comfortable leaving two kids though to wander the streets. Although most of the people here are pretty friendly, there are some adults that aren't nice at all. I'd rather you never have to meet any of those kinds of individuals.

[Anotsu inspects her cautiously, but she seems to be telling the truth. He can see the earnest sincerity in her expression.]

Tomorrow . . . that's fine.

. . . I know them.

[Rin has an objection to this.]

But if I were on a vacation, mommy and daddy and grandpa would be here, too.

[Rubbing her head a little at the comment, Yuuki wasn't quite sure how to explain.]

You would normally think so. It's kind of a forced vacation. They might or might not be here too. I can put out a notice, to see if they are. You'd just have to give me their names.

[Anotsu lets the older girl do as she wants. However, he doesn't mention anything about his grandfather. He does not want to see him.]

That'd be very nice! They're Asano Takayoshi and Toki.

Alright! I'll put up a notice. In the mean time, lets get you something to eat.

I have an errand to run later. Would you like to go with us? I don't think that would be a problem. In the meantime our chef can get you something to eat.

[She said that with a wink, before glancing in Zero's direction.]

[Anotsu's quiet, his eyes fixed on the older girl before flickering to the younger one. He's not averse to going anywhere, just . . . not thrilled, either.]

[His mouth set in a flat line, he nods once.]

Fine.

[Rin makes a face at him before beaming with enthusiasm.]

Come on, at least we're only half-lost now!

[Then she turns to Yuuki.]

Thanks for finding us! I'm getting real hungry, too.

[Giggling a little Yuuki pointed to the pouty boy's frown]

You know, he kind of reminds me of someone, Zero...

[She said with amusement, glancing over at her silent companion, before rising back up and clapping her hands]

Hai Hai~! It's onward toward chocolate and pudding and ice cream and whatever else we have! I'm not sure I have your name yet.

[She finally finished, with a sincere smile back down at the boy.]

Again, I'm Yuuki Kurosu. My companion is Zero Kiryuu. It's good to meet the two of you.
