Nina paused at the edge of the room, fidgeting with her suspenders and wondering where Daddy had gone. He and Alexander had been right with her just a second ago, how had they gotten so far away so fast.

She blinked when the kitty-man attacked the door, still fidgeting with her suspenders. "Won't they be mad? If you hurt the door? Since it isn't our house."

She bounced on her toes, considering. The only thing that seemed dangerous was a whole lot of dust. "I'm Nina Tucker, Mr. Leo, I'm four years old."

Leo grimaced slightly. Frankly, he didn't care if the owner of this house go angry; he didn't like being trapped, and he was getting the feeling that's exactly what they were. He shook his head. "I doubt anyone has been here in a long time, judging by the dust," he replied. This was almost certainly the result of some form of magic, but what? Were he alone, Leo would have set out to explore immediately, but he couldn't risk it just yet, not with Nina here.

He blinked down at her. She was only four years old, and all alone? How in the Silver Star could that have happened? Leo offered Nina his hand, still watching her contemplatively. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Nina."

"It's nice to meet you too, Mister Leo." She didn't hesitate before giving him her hand, smiling brightly at him. "How did we get here, if nobody is here? They still might not like it if we broke the door, huh? But it is kinda dirty...." She glanced down at the floor and the dusty footprints caused by their movements.

"What should we do, if we can't get out the door, Mister Leo?" She was a naturally inquisitive child, who had found in a situation she knew absolutely nothing about. Leo was the only adult who had presented himself, though she had decided not to ask what, exactly, he was.

Leo's mouth curved in a (very slight) smile as he gently held the little girl's hand. "I'm not sure," he admitted softly, giving a cautious sniff to the air. All he smelled was dust, causing his nose to twitch and forcing Leo to holdback a sneeze. There had to be some clue as to how they had come to be here, and why they'd suddenly found themselves in such a place.

"We should have a look around to see where we are," came the reply, Leo's free hand automatically going to his hip to ensure his sword was still in place. Satisfied, he took another glance around. "There must be an exit somewhere."

"Do you need a hankie, Mister Leo?" She peered up at him, worried. It was pretty dusty. But she didn't look opposed to exploring. "I think I saw a Piano. Maybe whoever lives here is hiding and they just don't use this room." She glanced back at the door, the obvious exit, then back up at Mister Leo. That one wouldn't work, so they'd have to find another.

Only she didn't think they were anywhere near home anymore. So she wasn't sure how getting outside would help.
