@starmuscd asked the summoner:
β ...Mister. β Her voice is quiet, careful, unsure for a little girl like herself-- Yuzu is not the type to ask questions, she's not the type to bring up this kind of thing, but she hears it, and it's been ringing in her ears the entire time, β Mister Kaze, β she starts again, a hand finally raising towards his bandolier, β your bullets-- why are they screaming? β // from yuzu (@starmuscd), hii quen hi
Another child lured in by the siren's call of this world - traversing the warped landscape alone, likely with no way to go back home. A sorry fate, one he wished on no living thing. He could sense her approach before he could see her - the petite frame of a little girl, dark umber hair and wide hazel eyes, filled with uncertainty. A fluffy backpack, one which he swiftly dismissed as an imitation, nothing like Ai's living handbag.
All in all, she seemed like a normal human being. Almost. There was something haunted in her eyes, like a weight had shackled her spirit. Whatever that energy was - he could hardly tell at first glance, but its presence did not elude the Soil mage.
She finally spoke, having mustered up the courage to bother the towering stranger. The Hunter's ocean gaze was a smothering one, whisking away words with ease. For a moment she seemed to hesitate, as though his attention had proved too daunting. But then - she said it: a name by which he was known to very few indeed. And a question he hardly expected from a human.
Huh, so she could hear them.
"Who gave you this name, kid?" He replied with an inquiry of his own. The sharpness of his night-deep voice was dulled, softened in an effort not to scare away the shipwrecked soul. "Do you know Ai and Yu?"
The summoner's one hand rested upon his belt within the darkness of his cape. Yes, this child... she could listen well, if she could hear such hidden things. The spirit sand stirred within its casings, quivering and twisting in a painful haze. The Soil was not happy, and it had been this way ever since he entered the sector.
And now, it seemed to grow yet louder.
