meteorical | Forty-Third Shower

[Hey. How ya doing? Are you out in the village today? Then you might notice a certain redhead dressed a bit differently than her usual attire running through the village with a satchel at her side. She darts around a corner, hiding for a few minutes before peering around to make sure she's not being followed and she sneaks back out into the middle of the village square. She'll be wandering around, casually glancing for new places to hide and guarding that satchel.]

Welllll...looks like the brothers just couldn't keep up. [She'll pat her satchel, making sure her prize is still inside.] Guess that means I'll hold onto this for safe keeping.

This place just got a little busier, didn't it?

[Perfect for an attempt to blend in, in fact. So you may run into her as she's prowling the village, also making sure there aren't any wanted posters. Oh, and don't mind her trying to get her smolder on around you fine people. Who knows, maybe on her walk she'll accidentally run into a princess or three, or even the authorities.

Let's hope it's not the palace guards.]

Whoa! Bad pony, bad! [Dodging again! And running to try and outrace Dash.

Yeah, good luck with that.]

[A basket huh? That means it probably has food, doesn't it? Flynnigan Kairi's attention's switching to little red riding Emil, starting to fall in line with him.]

And where do you think you're going off to?

Horses? Well that's strange. Why horses?

Then yes, please. I'm only trying to get home.

[Stop, thief!

Such is the first thought to cross Giles' mind and, suddenly, he's off and running after her. Why, he doesn't know. He hasn't the faintest idea who she is. But he seems to have stumbled onto his fellow victim for this particular story.

At least he doesn't seem to have much dialogue to worry about. And he is quite quick on his feet.]

[She's just gonna... try and scoop up the satchel, if all else fails. Must return to its rightful place!]

Haven't been able to figure that part out. Maybe they're just jealous of my dashing good looks. [Or they want that satchel she keeps moving behind her back, one of the two.]

[In that case, she's holding out a hand to let Mia up.] You'll have to direct me to where home is.

The fourth building, on the first floor.

[Climbs gratefully into Kairi's hand and sits back down. She feels so tired.]

[RUNNING AROUND A CORNER. And hiding. Hahah, you can find her now! Seriously, need to figure out another plan of escape.]

[She'll just try to beat Dash on the head with it. Sorry.]

That's not too far. [And she's lifting her up, getting off of the ground and rising to her full height.] We'll be there soon.

[Hmmm....she's going to watch you hide that satchel before looking back up with a frown.] Yes, I am actually. I have never been in this village before and now I'm unsure of how to get back to the cottage.

[Mia stays sitting. Standing up in a moving hand at such a height would be dangerous. And she doesn't feel strong enough to keep her balance.]

I hope I can stay there.

[Emil blinks, tilting his head curiously. He didn't think Kairi usually wore stuff like that...]

Huh? I was just going to my grandmother's to bring her some food because she isn't feeling well.

I can see why they would be. You do manage to strike quite the figure.

[Though those do seem like men's clothing.]

Wh-- Like I'd explain that to you! You're a thief! A charlatan, even! Someone like you doesn't deserve to know the secrets of the smoulder!

[ ... ] And where'd you get that outfit, anyway? It's like a perfect copy, only ... smaller. And, uh, for a girl. You even got a tiara in that satchel?

[WHAT IS GOING ON THIS IS MAKING NO SENSE PLEASE SEND HELP TO SORA HE IS UNAFFECTED.]

Why are you making that face at me?

Weeeelll, cottages are usually in the woods, right? I think you're headed the wrong direction.

[She'll even be nice enough to cup her hand a bit to keep Mia enclosed, but not enough to block her entirely.] Well as long as more frogs don't break into your place, you should be okay. Do you have somebody there who can look out for you?

[Jeeze, everybody's a critic. It's a good outfit, okay? Still, she's got her focus on that basket still, only briefly thinking Emil's story is weird because it's Emil.]

Kid, I think I've heard that story a couple of times today. So come on, what're you really hiding in there?

Piers should be there. ...But I wouldn't burden him with trying to keep animals out of the apartment all day.

At least someone has good taste around here. Comes with being a rogue thief and all, I guess.

Woke up like this. Fell asleep in it last night. But how'd you know about--[It's about then something clicks in Kairi's head that she's not really supposed to be a dashing rogue thief. And it's also about then that she realizes who's in front of her.

Man. She can't believe they got her. Oh well, she'll be resisting for as long as she can, don't mind her.]

You? It's your story I'm stuck in? Who are you? Do you know how many horses have been chasing me around the village today?

Um. No reason. [Byebye smoulder.] What are you doing out here anyway? Just taking a walk?
