Kisara sat alone quite lost after being separated during the group outing with the children's home. Run by the military the home was something of a mix of both orphaned children and those of whom who simply had no where else to go while their parents were called away with no one else to take care of them. It wasn't a terrible place and those who worked there generally did the best they could but it wasn't perfect. Silent tears trickled down as people passed by taking little attention of the pale child, to busy with their own lives to take notice or perhaps simply didn't care enough to stop. ❝ let me take a look… ❞ At first she didn't think anything of the voice, they weren't talking to her why would they be? No one cared about her. And she would have continued to think such if something hadn't caught her attention, a hand gesturing toward her scraped up knee, slowly pale teary eyes looked up. Although she didn't inherit the scarlet gaze of her mother her blue eyes still held an almost violet hue in the right light. Trembling she clutched a worn plush rabbit to her chest.
She hadn't pulled away or run off. That was a good sign. He wouldn't have blamed her if she were wary of a stranger, but the poor girl looked so upset on her own, he couldn't just leave her there. She must have gotten lost somehow if she was alone.
Al slowly lowered himself to his knees and knelt by her side, careful not to get too close or move too fast to avoid scaring her. Golden eyes flicked toward her injured knee. Though he was sure it must've stung, scrapes like that were easy to heal with the techniques Mei had taught him. Closing a surface wound like that was simple with a basic understanding of alkaestry.
With a vague gesture toward her knee, he offered her a soft, reassuring smile. "Are you okay? That looks like it hurts. Do you want some help?"
His hand rose a little to point toward her rabbit. "Who's that you have with you there? It's a good thing you have someone there to protect you. It's scary being hurt all by yourself." At least he assumed the plushie could be considered a protector, or company at the very least. The way she clung to it made it seem like it held some sort of reassurance.
