Skylie and Tucker were not expecting this. At all. In the living room they had found a very small... Person? At least 4 inches tall... A little girl from the looks. Bright blue eyes stared back at them from under the couch. Looking terrified. 

“Hey... Hey it’s okay... We won’t hurt you...” Tucker said softly. Gosh this girl didn’t look much older than himself... The piebald boy reached under and just as the tiny girl was about to bolt he got a hold of her. He gently pulled her out and held her up to eye level. “It’s okay. We’re n... Not g-g-gonna...” His heart started to pound in his chest. Why did he feel sacred? He knew the tiny child he held looked terrified but why was HE scared? With his free hand he rubbed at his teary eyes. 

                        F amished and debilitated -- he’s wandering about a vacated district, foreign yet he cares not,  of a formerly inhabited village he’s come to  discover from  aloft a toweringly steep mountaintop - scouring determinedly for water, anything to relieve him of the exsiccated sensation presently  stifling within his gullet,  obstructing currents of oxygen to  course facilely, and luncheons.  --  An Impracticable endeavor when all he has in his pitifully seeming wallet is fifty measly yen he’s purloined from undervalued wishing reservoirs. “ I wonder... “ he muses, eyeing his fleeting environs intently, analyzing its every unfolding detail and commodities. “ if I might have treaded upon a ghost town. - The air here is particularly forlorn. “ complaints were forthwith reified in spoken  utterance whilst irritation,  birthed from his deficiency  in imperative sustenance, decreed in imagery ‘pon his adolescently fatigued countenance.  Steps gradually desist in their progress  by the backbones of a beaten down shelter ---  A suspicious bag,  left unattended,  was lolling  adjacent to his propinquity.  Excitedly  hopeful,  and sans  conceiving heed for probable repercussions, he sprints to its location.- Foraging within unknown contents.

Staring at the girl when she gave pats, he nodded. “I know who they are anyway.. but I haven’t had the chance.. yet. I plan on it.. Or at least try to reason with them.” Shakes his head. “Revenge was the wrong reason to join the monastery. Either way we need to head back there once we are done with this mission.” Lifting Skylie and placing her onto the bed beside her brother he stood, taking the bowls of food they seemed to finish. “Which leads to another issue.. who you will be sticking with that won’t risk getting you killed.” Sighing he still wasn’t keen on the kids joining them but the decision was made.

Skylie had to pause and think a moment. “Well... We could stick with Ashe? He seems nice enough... And... Um...” The girl trailed off. Not sure what else to say. Tucker got up off the bed and headed for the kitchen. He wanted to find Byleth again. And Ashe. 

Skylie was not sure whether to run or cry. Maybe both. There was a massive, massive dragon. And she had nowhere to escape to. The albino child stood in place. Frozen by fear. Most tales told of dragons eating people. Especially princesses. Girls. Like herself.
