[Just after lunchtime, a small child can be found in the middle of the plaza. She is soaking wet, but she doesn't seem to care, since she's found something to amuse herself.

Namely, she's siting on a high-up branch of the coral, swinging her legs and laughing happily. She seems completely unaware of any danger she could possibly be in, too.]

It's so high up! I can see everything!

I'm at the park.

[Where else would she be? Obviously this is a park of some kind.]

[keepsthefire]

[... right. Let's... try this another way.]

Okay well... where were you last? Do you remember?

[fourleafed]

I was at home, then I came to the park.

[She does not see how this will get her food, though.]

[keepsthefire]

[Hey it's important to find out if she's a new arrival and all that.

But he did promise food and he's not going to break that promise, so he can save the questions for later. It doesn't seem like any parent is around anyway.]

Heh. Alright. You wanna ride on my shoulders then? We gotta go back to my house so I can make food for you.

[fourleafed]

[Oh no Rin said the magic words.]

Yes! I wanna be tall!

[Don't mind her, she'll just scramble up on his shoulders when he is short enough for her to climb up.]

[keepsthefire]

[Rin says all the magic words with kids]

Omft--... okay, okay. Hold on tight, alright? I don't wanna drop you.

[fourleafed]

I'm holding on!

[She is, but she's still laughing too. She likes piggyback rides, it's so cool to see everything from so high up.]

[keepsthefire]

[Rin starts walking, and once they're out of the trees of the park, he motions up with a finger.]

Oi. Look up.

[fourleafed]

[She looks up.

And then she falls silent as she stares at all the water up there above them. It even lasts almost a minute before she speaks again.]

There's fish up there!

[keepsthefire]

Mhm! That's why I was askin' you all those questions. Wherever you were before, you're somewhere totally different now.

[fourleafed]

[Sorry Rin she's still stuck back on the fish part.]

Can we catch them and eat them?

[keepsthefire]

... no. But if you like fish I can make that.

[fourleafed]

I like fish ramen!

[She likes any ramen actually, as long as it's not spicy.]

And takoyaki! Let's catch a squid!

[keepsthefire]

[Damn Yotsuba. Be more cute.

Alright fine he'll drop the explanation thing. She'll figure it out eventually.]

I can make that.
