[In the village today, there are a pair of boys strolling through. Well, more like one is, while the other struggles to keep up, holding a journal. Once they reach the fountain, however, the leader, deciding that this is a good place to stop for now, turns to face the other.]

[Cheria called the names before she could stop herself. They're... young? It's just like a few months ago, after Cheria was kidnapped! And they know about Sophie, so... They must be from around that same age, as well.

[STRANGER DANGER The look of confusion on Hubert speaks for itself. But this girl knows his name, and it'd be rude to simply brush her off. Hands clenched next to one another, he tries:] Um, did we meet somewhere before?

Hmm. How to handle this.
Pao-lin smiles gently down at Hubert.]

[Honesty is the best policy, right?]

Asbel! Hubert! Are you all right?
