We do not own Chrno Crusade.
She stood in the doorway of the orphanage looking to the souls frozen in time she walked through the rooms looking for anything that would be significant to her and Joshua when they were little before and after they released Chrno... Before her and Chrno had Joshua ripped away from them years before. Following closely at her side he looks around looking for the same as her his eyes searching for anything she could possibly hold onto or was worth keeping not seeing anything yet he lets out a sigh doubting their success and hoping for an early return
"Lets stay here for tonight is nearly to dark to see anything in these rooms..." She spoke sadly wanting a little more time just like her life.
Nodding trying to hide his uncomforting he looks around "so umm Rosette...where we going to sleep?" seeing how she was saddened he rubs her shoulder softly trying to comfort her
"There's rooms upstairs that were still vacant when the incident happened I'm pretty sure they are still frozen in time."
Still seeming worried over her and her safety since it was his job to protect her he looks at her. "You think you'll be ok alone… I mean if you were to be attacked and I in another room I couldn't be much help I don't mind sleeping on the floor its not like I haven't slept on worse"
She shook her head. "In orphanages more then two kids sleep in a room so you will have a bed."
"Ok well lets get to bed then Rosette... you need the rest…."Reaches for her hand to take her up but stops himself inches away remembering his place and he stands behind her allowing her to go first. She stepped slowly over the gap in the stairway heading to the vacant rooms her head tilting to the side looking out the dust stained glass. Flowing closely behind her as he usually does he bumps into her from behind not really watching where he was going. "Oh I'm sorry I..." stops short as she sees she's not really paying attention either
"I haven't really been up here before now the lady who ran the orphanage kept Joshua up here when he was sick... so he could have a view of the sky to be closer to God." She smiled faintly. Nods solemnly though happy to see at least a smile on rosettes face as it has been grim for these past few days he places his hands gently upon her shoulders to move her along She moved on making her way to the room that was vacant soon finding herself a bed to rest upon. Following her into the room he lays down on the bed next to hers and crosses his arms and lays them on his chest relaxing somewhat then looks over to her. "Rosette you going to bed yet...?"
"... I'm not sure if I will be able to or not..."
"...Well at least try I cant have you tired exhausted on me tomorrow" trying to make her feel better but seeing its not going to work. "Good night rosette sleep good please" closes his eyes. She nodded lightly rolling onto her side her back to him now as she curled up for warmth. Waiting a few minutes until he was almost sure she was asleep he gets up taking the blankets from his bed and lays them gently over top of her "good night rosette" he whispered with a slight smile as he lays back down for the night A small smile slide across her lips as she fell into a deep peaceful slumber.
