Little Girl Lost

[TareeFaery]

:: this all feels so familiar, but it seems odd as well. different. I hear names and see faces, that I can almost place, but not quite.... Illusia, Xerses, Topaz, Wulfsun... I can feel I should know these pepole, but who are they, why does this place haunt my soul? Steven? Steven? so vague.... so lost.... can I stay and play? is that mother calling my name? so lost.....

[Esperwind]

::gives the girl as she goes past a second glance, his eyes widen slightly and he watches her for a minute::

Alas, she appears to have lost her dueling form, a few years, and a bit more...

::puts on his best smile non-threatening smile and saunters up to the girl::

Hello there, little one. May I offer my assistance?

[Erasmus]

::Gives the girl a double take. Her voice seemed rather familiar, but the body just did not fit.... Notices that a detective had taken notice of the lonesome young girl and was walking toward her. So he just keeps about his own business, and sticks his pipe between his teeth, not thinking twice about it.::

[TareeFaery]

::looks to the familiar figure, the voice echoing in her memories:: Mayhap you can, sir. I seem to have somewhat lost myself. There is something drawing me here, and I feel as if I should know... but it isn't time, yet. I haven't been here before, but I am having memories of this place. Of you.... of others.... Oh, I am so confused. ::rubs her temples and wonders why she trusts him so easily::

Is there a place I can stay? I have been sleeping up high above the alleys. hidden away. I would love a hot bath and a soft bed.

::looks at him with wide trusting deep blue eyes::

[Esperwind]

::Etherean considered that for a brief moment. While he would not necessarily consider himself a friend to the Taree he knew, she had been a reliable coworker for quite some time, and a teammate as well. If he did not extend an offer now, there was no telling who else she might run into on the street. Her presence at his abode may generate some ugly rumours, but that was to be expected, and could be dealt with or manipulated if necessary. ::

I do have a guest room that you can use. Although I do not normally entertain guests, any proper house has to have one. I shall have to introduce you to Oberon and Elleheio, however. The hounds are unused to guests. You are not afraid of hounds, are you?

[TareeFaery]

::looks up from where she was sitting, slowly stands with a smile on her face:: Oh, thank you, Sai! If you don't mind, I would very much like that. ::then blushes:: The Hounds should not bother me, I have a way with most animals and I hope they would see me as a freind. I really would like to wash up, but if you have a large tree with which I can meake a bed of leaves to sleep in, and the hounds to watch over me, I would be much appreciative. I do not want do sound ungrateful at the offer of the room, but I do miss the smell of leaves in my sleep.

::looks into eyes that have the depth of a wise man, knowing in her soul she can trust him:: Do you think that would be possible, kind Sai?
