[She had been playing during the day in the woods by herself for a few hours. Suddenly, she was on the snow-covered ground under the night sky. ...Actually, up until now, she had never seen snow before. Obviously, there was something wrong about all this. The girl tried to take the trail back home from where she had been asleep, but there wasn't

[As Litchi is on her way home from the clinic for the day, she spots the little lost child who she thinks she recognizes. From behind, she's sure she's spotted Carl... and given the influx of New Feathers lately, she's sure it must be him.

And so, definitely excited for a familiar face amongst the newbies, she heads over towards the lost child...]

[whatisapanda]

[...the way she said that. ...And the wings. Noel stops walking, which will probably hold up Litchi, too.

Yep. Here comes the wibbling. AND THE TEARS.]

I... I died, didn't I!?

[not_meatbuns]

[Oh god what has she done. Litchi kneels down to Noel's level, feeling thoroughly guilty about causing these tears, and tugs her handkerchief from where she had hidden it the same place she hides wanted posters. Gently drying those tears here.]

No, no... You haven't died at all. [Although saying something like "but I did, and so did one of my housemates" would probably not help matters at all.] Shh... It's okay. Everyone here is alive and well.

if only there were more fanart of noel at this age

[whatisapanda]

[is that sanitary Noel continues to quiver and shake, the whole idea of being dead a really, really frightening one. Especially for someone her age. ...please don't tell her you've died before, Litchi.

She looks at her with the saddest look on her face. She likes this lady, but she'd rather be at home now.] Y-You promise? Even with the wings? W-Why do we even have... [She swallows her words, overcome by fear again by this whole situation.]

just grab carl art. same diff.

[not_meatbuns]

[Hey these boobs are clean Hnnngh, Noel. Litchi is squashing down the urge to just hug her until she calms down. Just sticking with the handkerchief for now.]

Yes, even with the wings. They're more ornamental than anything, to be honest. See? [She gives her wings a little flap.] They're not much good for flying at all. We're just... given a pair when we wake up here. I'm not sure how, but everyone here has them.

but the glasses!

[whatisapanda]

[Noel looks at her wings for a few moments, clearly mesmerized, before looking at her own and attempting to the same thing. While not as well, they do move ever so slightly.] Wow...

[Good job, Litchi. :|]

...maybe kid jin art? XD

[not_meatbuns]

[...Noel, how are you always so adorable. ;_;]

They do take a little while to get used to, I have to admit.

...maybe. XD /digs through art

[whatisapanda]

[She looks back to Litchi. While this whole thing is still bothering her quite a bit, well...]

I... I like them. They're really pretty.

[not_meatbuns]

They are, aren't they? [So relieved that Noel isn't crying anymore, that just broke her heart. ;_;]

I have to say, I've grown to like them.

[whatisapanda]

[She nods.]

Yours are pretty, too, Miss... [Miss... Who? :D;;]

[not_meatbuns]

Litchi. And thank you, Miss Vermillion... although I think yours are a nicer color.

[She'll just stand back up here, the cold air making her cough a bit. She may have mostly recovered from before, but this kind of sheer cold is a little hard on her.]

I suppose we should get inside, hm? It's really starting to get dark.

[whatisapanda]

[Miss Litchi...]

Oh-- [Maybe they should hurry. That coughing...] Yes, that sounds like a good idea. A-Are you going to be okay, Miss Litchi?

[Is she sick? D:]

[not_meatbuns]

[Litchi shakes her head.] Yes, I'm alright. It's just an old cough that comes back from time to time.

[Thankfully, with no accompanying blood anymore. Once she has some tea, it'll be gone. No worries. She'll just start to lead the way back to house 48 again.]

Would you like some hot cocoa once we get inside? It should help you warm up quite a bit.

[whatisapanda]

[Oh god. Good thing there isn't anymore blood. But, uh--yes. Noel follows.

Hot cocoa...] Okay!

[not_meatbuns]

[Mother instincts... rising to critical levels...]

Let's go then, hm? I'll make you some once we get inside. Are you hungry at all? There's plenty to eat if you are.

[whatisapanda]

[my god, litchi, way to spoil her. SHE IS VERY HUNGRY.]

Y-Yes, please! Thank you very much!
