"Come here, Cat," he said gently. When she dropped in front of him, he rested his hands on her shoulders. "Do you often go wandering?"
Mariemeia nodded slowly. "People call me. Like you did."
Like he did. Mother Night! "Cat, listen to me. Children are vulnerable to many dangers."
There was a strange expression in her eyes. "Yes, I know."
"Sometimes an enemy can wear the mask of a friend until it's too late to escape."
"Yes," she whispered.
Duo shook her gently, forcing her to look at him. "Terreille is a dangerous place for little cats. Please, go home and don't go wandering anymore. Don't... don't answer the people who call you."
"But then I won't see you anymore."
Duo closed his gold/violet eyes. A knife in the heart would hurt less. "I know. But we'll always be friends. And it's not forever. When you're grown up, I'll come find you or you'll come find me."
Mariemeia nibbled her lip. "How old is grown up?"
Yesterday. Tomorrow. "Let's say seventeen. It sounds like forever, I know, but it's realy not that long." Even Yuy couldn't have spun a better lie then that. "Will you promise not to go wandering?"
Mariemeia
sighed. "I promise not to go wandering in Terreille."
