[Another day passes, another amount of time well spent in entertaining the children, making them forget about the war. The celebrations the two days previous definitely help with the mood, too.

It's already late by the time he finishes making his round of taking each child back to their homes, Freya being the last district he hits today. He is about to take a shortcut through the roofs but stops himself when he notices a little girl wandering around the Welcome Halls. A traveler, he can tell, and a very wary one. Jack can't blame her, of course, just look at her age. He takes a deep breath so his usual anger against the gods doesn't come out now of all moments, and approaches the child slowly, crouching in front of her and using his best Big Brother tone when he speaks.]

Hey there, kiddo. Are you lost?

[Lilly she shakes her head, turning to look back at the Welcome Hall. She then looks back at Jack, and points. She's not lost. She lives there.]

[2cool4guardian]

[He follows her finger with his eyes, then nods at her.]

You're one of Freya's? Alright. [He usually calls it the 'loveshack' but it's not the right time for that.] Why are you out then? It's pretty late for a child like you.

[fuckingwolverine]

Mama.

[Mama likes the dark. If Mama's going to come, it'll probably be at night.]

[2cool4guardian]

You're looking for your mama? [Jack isn't liking that woman very much if she lets her child wander alone like this.] She's here in a house too? We could find her with the bracelets.

[fuckingwolverine]

[She shakes her head.]

No.

[She's not on the bracelets, or in a house. She isn't here-- but Lilly's going to wait for her all the same.]

[2cool4guardian]

She's not here? ...oh. [Slowly, he raises a hand to put on top of her head.] You're waiting for her? Okay, she may appear before you know it. But you have to wait inside, you know? Or with company. It can be dangerous out here.

I'm sorry, I overlooked this notif!

[fuckingwolverine]

[She shakes her head, stubbornly.]

Outdide.

[Though she looks to be about five or six, her speech is clearly delayed; she sounds more like a two-year-old than a school-age kid.]

Mama.

Don't worry, it happens!

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack can tell, and thinks it has to do with her general shyness and mannerism. This girl hasn't met too many people, it seems. It only worries him more.]

You can't be sure if your mama is outside. It's better if you use the bracelet. I can help you to keep an eye out for her, you know? Why don't you tell me your name?

[fuckingwolverine]

Lilly.

[Her own name is crystal clear in comparison to everything else.]

[2cool4guardian]

Hey, Lilly. My name is Jack, and I protect the kids, you know. Kids like you. [Big Brother Smile goes here.] What about your age? Do you know that?

[fuckingwolverine]

[She shrugs, and shakes her head.]
