Instead of picking up speed like natural physics says needs to happen the wind seemed to slow her fall. Haku was too high on adrenaline to notice. He finally caught her on his back about fifty feet from the ground and shot into the sky. Chihiro. Chihiro, wake up.
"Wha . . .?" She found where she was and eventually got her barring. "What happened and how are you talking to me?"
You fell off the rail. You know how Lugia from pokemon talks?
"Yeah. He uses his psychic ability to create a voice."
Well, I'm using my energy to create my voice.
"O . . . kay."
Would you like to go back?
She thumped his back. "Of course! I have work to do. That and I'm hungry."
Alright.
"Don't you laugh at me."
I'm sorry.
"Just get us back."
"Chihiro, you're on the big tub. You're supposed to feed Kamagi first."
"Yes, Sir." She grabbed her things and took off. "Food's here!" The soots eagerly came. "Kamagi, bowl."
"Here." He blinked behind his glasses then looked. "Chihiro?" Two of his hands framed her face. "It is you, Child."
"I'm not a child anymore." She giggled.
"Of course not." He went back to his job. "You're a respectable young woman."
"Ha!"
"Oh?"
"Respectable my foot. I've been trash for the last two years. My parents turned on me and I had no friends back there." She hung her head and fisted her hands at her sides.
"My dear child." He made her look at him. "Don't dwell on the past. All of us are here with you. We'll help whenever you need us."
"Alright. Speaking of help . . ."
