[Just a little late to the party (Event Post)]

::There's a distraught squeal from Erland's living room. It seems a small girl with a fluffy cat hat has somehow wandered into the house from the open door. She's in a plain but cute brown dress, and shaking like a leaf. Anyone in Erland's house or coincidentally at Xi's cafe likely heard her.::

... Like what? No one here is going to hurt you.

::The girl looks away.::

They all say that.

[san-buntai.livejournal.com]

Mmm... *She frowns at the girl, unsure of what to say. She's bad at this whole human interaction business... It's easier to just have information on them.*

... What is your name, anyway?

[partlychilled.livejournal.com]

::The girl hesitates a bit at the question, but finally answers.::

Theresa Ethelinda.

*... she heard that right, didn't she? She stopped for a moment, staring slightly, before smiling in a warm manner to her. Try to be nice. Maybe I won't get frozen then.*

I... I see. It's nice to meet you then, Theresa.

::She looks curiously at Umu's reaction, but doesn't say anything.::

...t-thank you... Um... you too, miss Umu.

[san-buntai.livejournal.com]

... Listen, until we manage to find a way to get you home... Do you want to stay somewhere?

[partlychilled.livejournal.com]

::She looks worried at the idea, but doesn't seem to have a better option.::

...d-daddy will be angry... I should c-call...

[san-buntai.livejournal.com]

... You're welcome to, once we settle what we should do. This is a bit of a... Different situation.

[partlychilled.livejournal.com]

...o-okay...

::Still looks kind of scared.::

[san-buntai.livejournal.com]

... It will be okay, alright? We just... Need to figure this out.

[partlychilled.livejournal.com]

::She shakes her head at that.::

D-daddy's gonna be m-mad...

[san-buntai.livejournal.com]

... Your father is going to have to learn some patience, then.

[partlychilled.livejournal.com]

::Shakes her head wildly.::

Daddy doesn't have to! Daddy gets what he wants or he gets mean!

[san-buntai.livejournal.com]

... Mm... I still think he should learn it, but... I don't think it's good to argue. Are you tired?

[partlychilled.livejournal.com]

...y... yes...

::Still fretting.::

[san-buntai.livejournal.com]

... Then why don't you rest here, for now?

[partlychilled.livejournal.com]

....but...

::She seems uncomfortable at the idea... seems she doesn't entirely trust Umu yet, much less anyone else who might live here.::

[san-buntai.livejournal.com]

... If you want, I'll make sure no one else bothers you.

[partlychilled.livejournal.com]

...

...okay...

...

Thank you... Miss Umu...

::Well, she's a bit calmer, anyway.::

[san-buntai.livejournal.com]

... You're welcome, Theresa. *She smiles at her.*

[partlychilled.livejournal.com]

::Well, that calms her down a bit.::

...but... where?
