By the time the young female who Hikaru had tapped onto the shoulder turned around with the rather sad looking expression on her face. He simply tilted his head in curiosity to see how she looked rather sad; did something happen that must've made her this way. Although seeing her small smile and her shaking her head all of a sudden kind of made him a bit more curious on what was wrong. Although, hearing her answer Hikaru's question about if she was lost or not; only to ask a question in return on what his name was. Giving a little warm smile, he placed both his hands into his pockets. "My name is Hikaru Naito." he stated only to notice that one of his own white feathers from his wings fell off his wing only to float through the sky for a moment. That was rather different indeed, his own feathers never really came off just like that unless the winds were powerful enough if not he did it on purpose; whatever the reason he just shrugged it off and listened to the girl as she told him, her name. Taking one of his own hands out from his pockets and shaking her hand that she was extending out to him. He placed his hand right back into his pocket afterwards. Not really having an idea if this girl could see both of his wings or not, he just made sure not to be too curious on that. Just in case things could turn bad for him. "Is something the matter Anyssa?..you seemed rather sad from what I saw."

Makoto at this point had walked right back inside the inn after the young unconscious girl was brought inside as well. With her being carried inside by Derek, this made things much more easier for him to be able to control the temperature of the young girl's body so that she would be able to stay alive; rather than trying to control it under the harsh conditions of the snow storm going on outside. While trying to keep the girl's body alive; Makoto heard what sounded like a little racket going on by the bar area. Turning his head right over toward the direction of where the bar was; he noticed how the only person that could've been making that racket was Seven. Maybe she could help out with this, obviously enough; he couldn't ask a guest to help with this, unless they did it on their own free will. They weren't employees here, they were simply enjoying their stay; so he wasn't going to ask for them to do something they didn't want to. "Seven. C-could you help us please? Can you please get this young girl a cup of warm tea or anything hot to warm up her body?" he called out, trying not to seem demanding but rather as a request to help someone in need.

Anyssa caught sight of his tilted head. It looked as if he was analyzing her. Her expression and posture. Curiousity had filled his eyes. There was a slight sigh with the wind. It was gentle but it gave her an odd feeling. Her had asked if something was the matter. It all came back to her mind like a hard slap in the face or a kick on the gut. Her eyes altered and hardened with the urge to run tears. Her facial expression did not change though. The fake smile on her face still had managed to stay. Her eyes told a different story. Anyssa shook her head once again. Trying not to strain her voice and make it crack. "It's...nothing." She hid her hands behind her back. A story like hers shouldn't be told to boy like him. He looked innocent but different. She couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Noticing at first how the young girl was acting still rather happyish, Hikaru simply kept both his hands in his pockets as he stared at her from where he stood. Even though being a fallen angel; it wasn't exactly the most difficult thing to notice when someone was lying about how they were feeling and if there was anything on their mind. He didn't usually do so to figure out if anything was wrong, but no matter how much a person tried to; their eyes could never lie how they were feeling deep down within themselves. Even fallen angels, if not in the league of a regular angel; they could still tell the difference between if a person was okay or not. So with Hikaru staring into her eyes, it was obvious enough to him that something was off; what it was, he wasn't too sure about. Finally taking his hands out of his pockets and continuing to stare at Anyssa, he just shook his own head with a warm smile across his face. "I know it may not be any of my own business miss..but there is surely something wrong. Holding in whatever pain that maybe lurking within you will only harm you much more than it is now." he explained; Hikaru may had said those words but strangely enough, he never even took those own words into his own consideration and told anyone about his own pain of losing his status as an angel in heaven and being casted down as a murderer of his own parents.

Anyssa crossed her arms. She shifted on her feet. She was getting uncomfortable. Not from Hikaru but from herself. She knew everytime she was terribly upset and hid it to herself it made her sick inside. Likethere was a hole in a heart that she couldn't feel. Her eyes hardened and finally her shell cracked. Tears brimmed her eyes and one slowly fell down. "Its a long story with no happy ending." Anyssa stated. She wiped her eyes and smiled again. "It's best that I keep my head up high and not let the bad drag me down." Anyssa was that type of person to bide her true feelings. When she shared them it had always been the same answer. It's okay. I'm here for you. Those were useless words. They had no meaning. They were just told because they had to be said. She sighed. "What about you? You look like slightly misplaced yourself. Is something the matter?"

Floating in the void, Tali surveyed her surroundings, face scrunched up in thought. The surroundings were not, however, the object of her confusion. In fact, she had been here several times before. No, what caused her eyes to scrunch up in puzzled interest was the fact that she couldn't remember what she had done to bring herself here. Shivering, she rubbed her hands over her arms, as naked as the rest of her was. Cold, she pondered. Did it have to do with something cold? No, that couldn't be it. Shaking her head, she noticed a green light from the corner of her vision. Turning, she moved forward to examine it. It was obviously magic, and from the color, nature-oriented at that. Elves maybe?

Frowning, Tali tried to enter her body again, floating upwards, only to be rebuffed. Her body was rejecting her? Then she sensed a shinigami. That really sent her into a panic. Hurtling herself into the barrier again, she grunted as she fell back. Certainly the shinigami had detected her; gods often did when nearby. Forcibly calming herself, Tali reassessed the situation. To be kept from her body meant that she had been close enough to death for the cord connecting her soul to her body to be severed. Yet, she couldn't be dead. The elves wouldn't bother trying to save a dead person. Gliding back to the green magic, Tali touched it, sending a resonance out to the elf.

If he knew enough of magic, he would be able to tell that she was trying to contact him. Hopefully he would be able to use his magic to dissolve the barrier and allow her to access her body again. That would recreate the link as it had been. In the meantime, she might be able to figure out what had happened, and more importantly, how to preserve her memory when she returned. Already it was growing fuzzy. Maybe Niji could help. Usually a soul weapon would follow their partner to the void. Unless he had been sleeping at the time. He certainly could be lazy. Frowning again, Tali scratched her head. Who was lazy? Then she shuddered. Hopefully the elf would hurry. The longer she was in here, the less she would remember upon reentering her body.

(What happened to Derek? OxO'')

Noticing how Anyssa was shifting her own weight to one side with her own arms crossed; Hikaru's own eyes widened up slightly at the thought that he did something wrong. The immediate thought that went through his head at this point was that he was annoying this girl with his own being here or something close to that at least. Annoying a person from out of no where in the blue was the exact last thing he wanted to do as a first impression to meeting a human after so long. Out of no where, when he saw a single tear was shed from this young human girl, his own eyes widened slightly at the thought of why she was crying. Now, there was no doubt about it; whatever was bothering her was hurting her dearly and she wasn't enjoying the feeling of remembering it. Tilting his head and keeping a little frown across his face; it wasn't exactly difficult to realize that she was trying her best to keep a fake smile across her face by wiping away her own tear. "Anyssa, It is difficult. I understand that, whatever your going through. You need to learn how to let things go..its much easier said than done..I know; but you need to think that whatever harms you. Is only brought to you..to make you stronger." he stated before a small gasp escaped Hikaru's lips when he heard her ask him if anything was bothering him. Only for a moment, a small frown was across his face as he just hid it with a smile. It was difficult to talk about, but he didn't mind trying to push it aside. "Looks like..I'm not too good with hiding my own pain huh?..true, there is something bad about me; but after all the pain that goes through my life. I just have to learn that it happened..for a reason."

All the while Makoto continued to try and keep the young unconscious girl alive; it had seemed as though for a moment while he continued to use his own magic to plunge it through within her body. He felt a quick jolt of a different energy from within the girl's body; it seemed as though she was trying to contact him. With his own eyes widened up for a moment when he felt her own energy placed against his own magic. Makoto for that exact moment was about to try and use his own magic to pull her back into her body as a support when he had felt the strange barrier that stopped his own magic between helping the girl back to her own body. What the barrier was exactly coming from or who it was coming from at all, was something he wasn't too sure about. Although whatever or whoever was creating the barrier to stop this young girl from re-entering, Makoto was going to have to dissolve it. Focusing his own magic into one spot within the young girl's body; instead of focusing too much of his own energy in all over her body; he kept it all in one spot so that he could possiblity break through the barrier and from there. He could take down the entire thing, this was no doubt about it; a difficult task but being one of the sorcerers from an elf village, he was able to learn how to master his own magic thanks to his own grandfather who was the main sorcerer throughout the entire elf village before it was burnt and raided by orcs.

Slowly walking through the white fluffy snow, feeling the coldness on her bare feet, the white haired female lost her balance, causing her to fall into a tree next to her. Traveling barefoot, in snowy woods. Not a smart idea Darce She frowned. Especially if you're already weak to begin with.. She glanced down at her stomach to hear a soft growl.

She sighed, and looked ahead only to see what looked to home through all the snow drifting down. She laughed with relief as she began to ran the best she could to the inn.

If her small white wings weren't freezing as is, she would have used them to get her to the building quicker, but, sadly, to keep them warm, she kept them close on her back.

She reached the building, and smiled with complete and utter joy. Warmth. Finally. Unsure of which door was the entrance, she went towards the stairs, walking up them quickly. The wind may be cold, but I don't care. She thought she she reached the top.

Reaching the door closest within reach, she tapped lightly, hoping to be heard. She stepped back from the door for a moment, wrapping her arms around herself for some heat. Maybe it's down below here.. She frowned slightly

((Sorry about the length ^^; Other than that, is it good? .o. ))

Derek had helped get the girl in the lobby, before backing away to allow the others more room. He grimaced lightly, feeling slightly useless. He didn't seem to have any apparent injuries, but that didn't mean nothing was wrong. He moved closer, the pale blue of his healing filled his hands which he directed to the girl to help Makoto keep the girl alive even as the manger seemed to be battling something.

Akira frowned, something tickling her senses, and she pushed away her food to step daintily out to the lobby, watching as the gardener and Makoto were working on a person, as if to save their life. It was a noble thing, and she had to smile at it, though the upturn flipped down as her scythe pendant pulsed in synch with a heartbeat. Wha..? She wondered curiously, before a wave of dizziness hit her as her eyes slowly bled black, her eyes seeing everything in shades of black and white, the only colors coming from the souls. And the ghostly form hovering near the unconscious girl. "Leave her!" She shouted at the apparition, snagging the pendant off its chain, causing it to enlarge in her hands as she quickly moved towards the group. She swung the scythe, the blade moving above the others heads, and missed the shinigami as it laughed at her before it disappeared. Glaring at the location it had been, she looked around to make sure it was gone before her eyes returned to normal and her weapon shrunk in her hand, her legs shaking with the effort to support her before she dropped into a nearby chair.

((Sorry. For some reason my brain isn't wanting to cooperate much...Hoping this didn't fail >.>))

As Derek was laying the girl on the couch, Cameron heard the microwave in the kitchen beep. She hoped Derek and Makoto would use the warm bucket of water and rags that she placed next to the couch if they needed. She layed the blanket over the girl the best she could with Makoto and Derek about her, and hurried off to the kitchen. She was worried for the girl, Cameron thought the girl had fainted, but she could see now the situatuion was much worse. Removing the cup of cocoa from the microwave she set it on the counter, staring at it for a moment, worried the girl may never drink this cocoa, or anything else ever again. She shook the negative thought and brought the cocoa out and set it on the table next to the couch. She turned to the fireplace and grabbed the poker stirring at the wood and flames a bit before noticing Akira sitting in a nearby chair. Replacing the poker she glanced over her shoulder at the girl on the couch. There was nothing more she could do, but she would stay close in case called upon. Walking to Akira, "Are you alright Akira. You look weak, can I get you something?" Before Akira had the time to answer, Cameron heard a knock at the Inn door. "Please excuse me for a moment Akira, I'll be right back." Knowing the conditions outside were frightful she hurried to open the door. There stood a very short girl who looked to be about 12 or 13, with a patch over her right eye. Gasping at the realization that this child wasn't wearing any shoes and was all alone, she reached for her hand and quickly pulled her inside closing the Inn door. Kneeling to her level Cameron asked sweetly, but clearly concerned, "Are you ok? Are you hurt? We need to get you into some dry warm clothes... Are you alone?"

Darcey let out a small squeak as she was pulled in by the female. "I'll be fine, I just need a place to rest for a little while.." She said quietly as she stretched her wings out slightly. "I am alone. I always have been, even when I was a child.." She frowned.

I should thank the female for opening the door for me.. Smiling, Darcey let her hands fall to her sides. "Thank you for opening the door, I didn't want to be rude and just barge in." She paused. "I'm Darcey, by the way~" She spoke happily.
((Oh gosh.. short post.. :< I'm sorry :c ))

Tali shivered again, staring up at the green energy as it tried to eat its way through the barrier. Absently, she directed a little of her own meager energy to help erode the wall. Tali, Tali, Tali, she chanted mentally, trying to hold onto that at the very least. Clearly this was taking too long. She had already forgotten who her parents were, what she was, and where her body was located. In fact, she had a suspicion that soon she'd forget why she was there. It just was not good, and that was an understatement. How old was she again? Cursing under her breath, Tali maintained her chant, shivering occasionally.

After what seemed like forever, though it could only have been a few moments, Tali looked up again, and noticed a small hole. While she was the size of a ten or eleven year old child, the hole still wasn't large enough for her to get through, though it was a lot closer than she had thought. Frowning, Tali went back to her thoughts. Tali, Tali, Tali, she thought, scratching her head. Who was Tali? And why was it important? Shrugging, Tali drifted up to the hole, smiling slightly. Yes, it was large enough to squeeze through now, if just barely. Sucking in her gut, Tali pushed past the gap, and was rewarded with such a feeling of cold that she wanted to leave again.

Squinting open eyes that seemed to change color whenever she turned her head, Tali groaned at the light before shivering violently. Where was she? More importantly, who was she? And how old was she? Confusion flashed through her mind as she tried to think. The cold wasn't helping though. Nor was the wet. Together, they were just unbearable. Stretching her petite body, Tali tried to wriggle away from the cold and damp, though it didn't work. In truth, all she had done was snare herself farther into the freezing blanket. The large blanket still left quite a lot of room on the girl's four foot two height, even despite being wrapped around her a few times.

Moaning pitifully, Tali looked around again, noticing how many people were nearby. There was a man with white hair, and another with blue, standing over her, a girl, who appeared to be a little older than Tali, being taken care of by an older woman, and another girl sitting in a chair nearby. On the quaint coffee table was a steaming cup of hot chocolate, but Tali wanted nothing warm at the moment. As suddenly as a summer rainstorm, she had become hot, so hot. Vainly, she tried to kick the blankets off, tears flowing down her cheeks. And then she was cold again. And how her body ached! It was unbearable.

To anyone with children, the symptoms would obviously say she had a fever, though she couldn't remember what they were, or even what a fever was. The memory loss had been more complete than most people would assume at first. In fact, it was more than simple amnesia. Everything she had ever stored in her mind had been deleted. That was how the dead kept from being stuck to the earth. Memories held them, and the void erased them to prevent it. Writhing again, Tali cried out for her mother, even though she had absolutely no idea who that was. "Mommy!" she yelled, showing that the memory wipe hadn't taken away simple vocabulary. Three syllable words were beyond her as of the present, but, being the converse to learning, the erasing of her memory had gone backwards, taking out what she learned until it got to the building blocks, or shortly before. More to the point, Tali was terrified and confused. She just wanted someone to help her out of her wet clothes, and who would help her calm down. In short, she wanted exactly what she had cried out for.

Still kneeling in front of the girl Cameron smiled and replied, "I'm Cam, and all are welcome here. You can stay here for as long as you'd like ok?" Happy that the girl was ok, she still felt a little saddened by her words, she had always been alone? She couldn't help but chuckle at Darcy's comment about 'when she was a child'. "You're mature for your age Darcy" she said, not realizing she wasn't actually a child. "Please go and warm yourself by the fire, I will get you some warm clothes and hot cocoa." As Darcy's wings opened Cam heard some commotion where Makoto and Derek were helping the girl she had found in the snow.

((Sorry cutting it short to allow Derek and Makoto to respond ^^ Don't worry motherly Cam to the rescue! =P))

Darcy couldn't help but snicker at Cam's remark. Of course I am. Darcy smiled, with a quick nod. She's nice. Hopefully the others are too. "Alright~" She smiled, although it didn't last long. The smile quickly faded into a worried look.

"Is everything alright?" She frowned slightly.

((Oh mygosh, I just noticed I was spelling my own characters name wrong xD /fails
And it's alright ^^ I have to leave for a few hours soon, anyway :< ))

Anyssa wanted to ask him to stop the topic and go on to a more happy one. It made her feel even more sick talking about it, making her stomach churn. Though deep inside she felt a slight bit of comfortability around him and talking to him about problems. It was like she knew he could relate. Anyssa didn't say any of that aloud. She smiled at Hikaru's comment. It reminded her of her mother. Everything was for reason. Things left in the past were never meant to be in the future. She finally got the guts to say it. "Since we don't like talking about the past. Let's talk about right now." Anyssa stated. She promised herself the whole thing with her boyfriend was not going to bother her. Not for long anyways.

(lol dont worry about short posts ^^'' you guys can post as long as you want. :) If you can't post too long, just post whatever comes to your mind. I'm not picky :D Just one lines are kind of difficult ish all.)

Noticing how immediately Derek had placed the young girl onto the couch all the while Makoto continued to concentrate on how to break the barrier separating the young girl's inner body with her physical body. All of a sudden, out of nowhere while he was working bringing back her body into it's normal state. Noticing how another energy came out to try to keep the young girl's body alive; Makoto simply looked right up at Derek to notice how he was using his own magic as well. This was helpful indeed, while he would on bringing back the girl's body within; Derek could keep her actual body alive rather than have her come back into a body that was already dead. Hearing what sounded like a small knock on the front door of the inn, Makoto simply took his attention over toward the door for a moment; noticing how Cameron was already working on this. It just seemed to be a young girl, he would have to work on her to ask what she needed after he was done with this young unconscious girl. Out of no where, when he had heard Akira scream out the words 'leave her' and bolt forward toward the three people at the fireplace only to slash some kind of large weapon over their heads and to fall to the nearby couch chair. Giving a worried look over toward her; he was planning to go over to help but noticed how Cameron went over to help before answering the door. So hopefully, she was okay; but just in case, he was going to check on her after he was done with this young girl. Within moments, when what sounded like groans and moans of pain or just plain tiredness were heard from the young girl. Makoto released his own magic to notice how she was finally coming through; that was a good sign at least. She was alive. Although, the one thing he wasn't exactly prepared for was when she blurted out the word 'mommy' out of nowhere. Giving a quick gasp at hearing that, Makoto ended up falling onto the floor with his own eyes widened up in shock as he stared at her. "Uhh...a-are you okay young miss?" he asked staring still up at the young girl now awake in complete shock.


Hikaru while at this time was contining to speak with Anyssa as he noticed how she didn't look too well. Maybe it was the topic that was making her this way, if not there was something wrong that was making her this way no doubt. Whatever the case was, he knew it was probably a better idea at this point not to talk about their past anymore. Noticing the smile she gave him, not really knowing if this one was a real one or not; Hikaru just believed it since it was better to believe that she really was happy than not at all. So when she spoke out saying that since they both had a hard time talking about their past so it'd be better to talk about now, he simply gave a little nod in agreement. "Okay..that probably is a good idea. So..you live around here?" he asked taking a look around the village, it wasn't often that he went over to the human village here; or rather ever at all.

Cameron turned to look towards Makoto, Derek, and the girl they had brought in to see her ok and sitting up. When Cam heard her yell "mommy" she turned to Darcy and said, "Please Darcy make yourself at home, I will show you around as soon as I can..." and she was hurrying towards the couch. When she reached the girl she saw tears running down her face, and she was kicking the blanket off. Cameron moved the blanket and half shoved Makoto aside, putting her hand to the girls forehead. She felt clammy and hot, clearly she was coming down with a fever. Wiping her tears Cameron tried to calm the girl down, "It's ok..." she gave her a smile, "We're all your friends here, your safe..." wiping more tears, "We're going to take care of you ok?" Waiting to see if the girl reacted hostily or not Cameron just continued smiling at her, trying to make her feel safe and welcome, though she was very curious about this young girl who she had found laying in the snow. She kept her questions to herself, just trying to comfort for now. "How about we get you out of these wet clothes, and something to eat, does that sound good?"

Ignoring Makoto on the principle that she had no idea who he was talking to, surely "miss" wasn't her name, Tali continued writhing under the blanket, trying to free herself from its cold, wet embrace. As she hadn't really been paying attention to her surroundings, she was surprised when the blanket was pulled off of her by a lady who stood where Makoto had.

When the lady put her hand against Tali's forehead, she took the time to get a better view. Silvery hair framed a youthful face and pale gold, motherly eyes. Surely this had to be her mommy. Surprisingly enough, the lady's gestures did soothe Tali, who couldn't help but be comforted by her. Only hiccuping now, she stretched her arms out to Cameron, wanting to be held. The mention of warm clothes and food was promising as well, though Tali didn't feel much like eating. Her tummy felt like it was doing somersaults.

((In case you're wondering, Tali is suffering from a regressed personality, which means that she has a personality and knowledge is equivalent to that of a two-three year old child at the moment. :3))

Akira smiled softly at Cam before waving the women away even as she excused herself to answer the door. She felt fine, a little shook up over seeing another Reaper again after having escaped from her father, but she just thanked her lucky stars it hadn't been her father that was trying to collect. If it had been, they all would have been screwed. Leaning back in the chair she sighed. "Maybe some chai tea wouldn't be out of place..." She murmured, not noticing she'd spoken it outloud.

Derek sighed, smiling softly when it looked like the girl would be coming back to reality. Except he hadn't excepted the sudden cry, and combined with his precarious balance, he fell back and thudded on his tailbone. Hissing sharply, he scooted back, one hand reaching his lower back and rubbing the base of his spine. He watched as Cameron helped the girl, standing slowly, and deciding he couldn't be of much help really, scurried off into the dining room. He gathered the dishes together and, bringing them into the kitchen, set about washing them. Once finished with that, and recalling the murmur from Akira, pulled out a mug, filling it with water and, once it had taken a spin in the microwave, set a teabag of vanilla chai to steep in the heated liquid. Placing it on a small tray, he also put a small container of milk and sugar on the tray before going back out and setting it on the table next to the pale girl with a slight smile.

Smiling as the girl held out her arms, Cameron grabbed her in a hug, standing before gently setting her on her feet beside the couch. Looking at Makoto and then to Derek she said, "We have another guest, her name is Darcy..." she pointed in her direction, "It seems she will be staying and needing some dry clothes as well." Looking down at the girl she grabbed her hand, "Let's go upstairs and run you a warm bath and then we'll get you in bed with some warm soup. We need to get that fever down and find your parents." Smiling she tugged the girl toward the stairs. Luckily she seemed to have calmed down a lot, but Cameron was still concerned about her tempurature. It weather like this it was hard to get a doctor to the Inn and this girl was clearly someones child, someone who was probably worried to death about now, which they should be. If it hadn't been for Derek and Makoto this child would be dead. Cameron shivered. She was still chilly from the incident, but it was more of a fearful chill. She hoped to have a daughter of her own someday and the thought of her being lost and near death sent a chill through her. Passing by Derek and Akira to the stairs, she smiled giving them a 'that was a close one' eyebrow raise. It was still early, but it had been a long day for her already. Between the housework, breakfast and now this, she couldn't wait for a hot bath herself. Maybe once the child was asleep she could relax in the spa for a while.

Shivering as the air collided with Tali's soaking wet clothes and skin, she smiled up at the lady who had lifted her. She didn't resist having her hand held, but popped her thumb into her mouth before following. "You wight hew, Mommy," Tali answered around her thumb, grinning at her antics. Her mommy certainly was silly!

Still following obediently, Tali toddled after Cameron to the bathroom, shivering as she did. It was kind of strange to see though, because she'd be shivering one moment, and then pouring sweat the next, only to switch back. Symptoms of the fever certainly. Despite her fever, her body temperature was still much too low to be healthy, though it was gradually rising as she dried off.

Tali figured she'd be a good girl for her mommy, who still appeared kind of worried, though Tali couldn't tell why. Plopping to the tiled floor in the bathroom, Tali kicked off her breeches, revealing her sodden, yellowish Pull-up. Despite her wish to be good, she couldn't manage the shirt, instead holding her hands up in the air for Cameron to pull the shirt over her head.

By the time Cameron had come right back over toward the fireplace with the others around along with this young girl who randomly popped out of her unconscious state only to end up saying the word 'mommy' out of no where. Panting softly at catching his breath from the large gasp he had made, Makoto simply stood back up to his own feet and dusted off anything that may had been on the floor that would've gotten onto his clothing. Turning his attention right over toward Cameron as she came over to speak to this young girl only to hear her offer to help her out of the wet clothing she was wearing already and get her something good to eat. Giving a light nod to what she had said, Makoto had just thought that might've been the probable best idea for that young one. Taking a seat right over on one of the other nearby couches, he stretched out his own legs with a relieved sigh that he didn't really have anything else to do for the moment. Maybe this would be a good time to take a little nap; but unfortunately enough, right before he could even close his eyes; hearing Cameron speak once more about them having a new guest here and that she needed some dry clothing as well. Makoto's own eyes immediately flung open with a bit of shock to hear that they had more than one new guest today, that was great news to hear that they were getting more guests as he stared right over toward the other girl whose name seemed to be 'Darcy' at least that was what he knew from what Cameron said. Standing right back up to his own feet and going right over toward her; only to hear for a quick moment that Akira wanted Chai tea. Noticing how Derek immediately seemed to head over toward the kitchen; Makoto simply tilted his head with a little smile on why he randomly was helping Akira get some tea at this point. "Hey Derek! while your over there, mind getting a two more cups of hot cocoa? Thanks." he called out with a polite smile across his face before turning his attention right back onto Darcy. "So, your planning on staying here miss Darcy? Well, if you'd like; some warm dry clothes can found if you follow Miss Cameron over there. She seems to be heading to give the other young miss a warm bath; so if you'd like, you may ask her for some warm clothes while I sign you into our check-in book and get you; your room key."

After a short while of standing just a little ways away from the door, and after meeting Cam, she grew to be a bit silent. In a slight trace as one would think it was. Her mind basically flipped through the days of her running constantly from the people whom she feared most. Her uncle, the only living family member she had left that wasn't already killed. A man with no fear, with no mercy either. He would harm a child if need be. He'd even try to kill his own niece too.

She closed her eyes when she heard a voice speak to her. She clenched her fists, then opened them calmly. "I'm sorry, what was that?" She smiled slightly. "I kinda zoned out for a little while and didn't realize that I was being spoken to. Sorry." She spoke somewhat quietly, hoping the male wouldn't mind.

Cameron stopped for a moment staring down at the girl when she spoke. She looks like she's at least ten, but she is speaking like a toddler... did she just call me mommy? No, it's just been a long morning... Unlocking the door to a guest room with her master key she escorted the girl into the bathroom. It was a good sized bathroom with a garden tub that Cameron turned the water on to and felt for the right tempurature. When she turned around she saw the girl struggling to get out of her wet clothes before holding her arms up for help. Cam couldn't help but giggle at the sight as she helped the girl out of the cold and wet outfit. Turning the water off when the tub was appropriately filled, she placed a towel on the side and smiled to the girl. "Relax in the bath, and I'll go make you some soup. When I come back, I'll bring some dry clothes and help you into bed ok?"

Smiling up at Cameron in response to her help and the infectious giggle, Tali nodded, clambering into the large tub, making a mess in the process. Her sodden Pull-up lay where she had plopped down, as she had popped the tabs before standing. The warm water made the petite girl quiver with contentment, warming her body quite quickly. Grinning at Cameron, Tali spoke. "Okies, Mommy. I wait. Mommy? Can I hab bubbwe bat?" The minty scented soap had caught her eye, but it was much to high for her to grab. Not to mention she didn't want to make her mommy mad at her.

((Kya, I love your siggy. :D))

((Thanks ^^ Which one? It's on random :P))

Cameron stared at the girl in disbelief. She really was talking like a toddler. Blinking down at her unsure of what to do, Cameron opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. Did she think Cameron was her mother? It must have been the near death experience... Kneeling next to the tub Cameron finally spoke, "How old are you? Do you know what your name is?" Waiting anxiously for the child's response she reached for the bubble bath, not taking her eyes off of the girl she turned the water on low/warm again and poured some of the gel in allowing the water to create bubbles while she continued staring in amazement towards her.
