Haelth woke up the next day and saw other guests wandering around in the guest room, some of them chatted. The young child spotted her siblings near a table serving breakfast. While Haelth spotted a couple of other guests eating with Douma's flock, talking to each other as they ate. She wiggled out of the futon, got up, and walked over to them.
"Hey guys!" She greeted them cheerfully. A couple of the guests looked at her funny. But she ignored them. "Are we allowed to eat?"
"We already ate. Just wave down to an attendant and they should give you food." Skylar explains to her. Haelth nodded. She looked around to see if any attendants were around and waved one down. An attendant spotted her and walked over to the child with a smile. She put a tray down on the table in front of Haelth. It had green tea, steamed rice, tamagoyaki, and miso soup—her mouth watered at the food right before her.
"Enjoy your food." The attendant said, handing her a pair of chopsticks.
Haelth nodded, "Thank you very much!" She said as she quickly dug in. The attendant nodded and moved along to feed another staving guest. Haelth eats her food. Her sister always reminded her to take bites and chew with her mouth closed. Haelth moaned as this was the most food she had gotten for the last month or so. Because she was eating, Haelth didn't notice the other person besides her until after she was done with her food. The other person giggled.
"Enjoying your meal?" Haelth looks to her side and sees Akemi sitting next to her. The young child smiled at her.
"Yeah!" Haelth wiped her mouth, "It's so good!" She praises, remembering her matters.
Akemi laughed, "Glad to hear it! There's going to be plenty of food where we're going!" Her smile brightened.
Haelth's smile falls a bit. What's this 'we' stuff? She looks at her siblings, and they even look confused.
"What do you mean?" Haelth asked her. Akemi blinked and tilted her head at her question.
"Didn't Lord Douma tell you?" She asked the young child. Haelth shook her head. Douma said he wanted her to come over for dinner last night but that's about it.
"He said we can come over for dinner because the voices in his head told him to do so," Haelth recalled. She thinks she nailed it. Health quickly noticed Akemi covering her mouth with the sleeve of her kimono, shaking while covering her laughter. The twins laughed at her, while Skylar covered her face.
"Haelth…" She mumbled, making Haelth's face turn red.
"H-hey! I remembered everything right!" She tried to defend herself. Her face turned into a bright shade of red as the twins and Akami laughed harder.
"T-that's partly true." Akemi very quickly collected herself, letting out a couple more chuckles before she explained. "We are also here to help bring people back to our village in the mountains. Where we can feed and protect all of you and the guests permanently." She told to Haelth.
Haelth frowns, "So you came out here, just to bring us to your village? I thought you guys were going to stay here." The child questioned the other woman. Akemi opened her mouth to explain, but another person answered Health's question, unexpectedly.
"Like I said. I heard God's voice telling me to come here. To bring people to our little safe heaven." The two girls turn to see Douma walking to them.
"Lord Douma!" Akemi quickly bowed down, while Haelth looked up at Douma, who laughed in amusement at Akemi's actions. He looked better than how he looked last night. He looked less hungry, his skin was still pale but healthier, and his eyes were crazy looking.
The older man took a seat on the opposite side of Haelth, blocking her siblings' view.
"You can rise Akemi," Douma told the older woman. Akemi blushed and quickly straightened herself up. Douma's gaze flicked from Akemi to Haelth.
"The gods told me there were poor souls in this village that needed help. So I gathered quite a handful of my followers to help, but this village is much worse than I thought." He sighed sadly, "There are so many poor souls here. That's why I'm taking those who want to come with me to my village." He smiles at her.
"I take it that you like our village. We have food and shelter, and we all look out for each other." Akemi nodded at Douma's explanation, "You have a better future there than here." He held his hand for Health to take.
Haelth frowned and leaned to the side so she could see a glimpse of her siblings. They met her gaze and Skylar shook her head, frowning. Haelth leaned back to her seat and shook her head, declining his offer.
"I can't." Haelth answers. Akemi looked at Health in surprise. Douma tilted his head, but he was still smiling.
"Oh?" Douma pulled his hand back, "Why not?" Douma asked her tilting his head. His tone wasn't angry or anything but it still put Haelth on edge.
"I still need to wait for my parents to come home." She quickly explained. Akemi had a soft expression on her face.
"Well then, bring your parents to us. Lord Douma can talk to them about going to our village." She suggested, Douma nodded in approval.
"For all of us?" She asked, gesturing to all of her siblings. Did they have enough housing for all 7 of them?
Akumi looked confused but Douma nodded, "Of course! We have lots of room for you and your family." His eyes sparked in amusement, as he clapped his hand "Just tell your parents about me and I'll explain everything to them." Douma told her.
Haelth nodded, "I will! Thank you!" She said getting up from
Douma placed a hand on her hair, ruffling her hair. "Anytime."
Haelth was strolling down the street, thinking about Douma's offer. It was very generous of him to offer her family to his village. But he's also a stranger and his offer sounds too good to be true. But what if was true?
The child ran through her short spiky red hair with blue tips, in thought. This was difficult.
"Haelth, don't mind what that man told you," Skylar told her, she noticed her expression. Haelth looked up at her oldest sister as she continued, "Let's just wait for Ma and Pa to come back before thinking about taking Lord Douma's offer." She told her.
"Alright," Haelth said, looking ahead. Something caught her eye. She froze. Skylar looks down at her and notices her little sister's expression. She follows her gaze, her eyes widen at the sight. There were police walking down the street.
She turns to her siblings quickly, "Hide." Haelth and others duck into the alleyway.
"Why are they here?" Fionn asked, shivering in fear.
"They're police." Leonard rolled his eyes, "Oh course, they patrol during the day. That's what they do!" Fionn fletched and Skylar got between the two brothers.
"Look let's just go home and wait until this all blows over." She suggested them
"This is why I don't like being out during the day!" Annabelle growled. Haelth looks down, feeling guilty. This was all her fault. They wouldn't be in this situation if she hadn't gotten caught and stayed at Douma's dinner party.
Sensing this Skylar kneels beside her and gently squeezes her shoulder.
"It's not your fault. Police always have a habit of sniffing out people like us." She told her. Haelth smiled at her. Skylar returns but then stands up and looks around the ally.
"I think we can cut to gates if we go through here." Skylar said as she looked down the alleyway, "Follow me." Haelth and others follow their oldest sister down the alleyway. They ran through the maze like an ally, going through twists and turns until they passed one alley Haelth heard someone crying and stopped.
"Haelth?" Fionn stopped when he noticed his little sister wasn't behind him, "Are you ok?" He asked her The rest of the group stopped and backtracked to where Haelth was. The youngest sibling points down the alleyway.
"Someone is crying down there." Haelth points down the alley. The siblings looked down but it was dark so they couldn't see who was crying down the alley.
"Should we help?" Fionn asked Skylar. Before she could answer Annabelle put in her input.
"I think we should move right along. It's not our business." She pointed out. Her twin nodded along with her in agreement.
"But what if they are hurt?" Haelth asked.
Skylar looks around all of them and sighs. "Me and Leonard check it out first. The rest of hang in the back, and if I tell you to run. You run ok?" She told them, giving a pointed look at Haelth in the back.
"We will!" Both she and Fionn replied to their sister. Skylar nodded satisfied they were listening to her. Skylar and Leonard went in first. Annabelle, Fionn, and Haelth follow behind at a distance, be it slower and more cautious. Once her sight adjusted to the darkness she saw a woman sitting by the wall. Covering her arms and crying her eyes out.
"Miss?" Skylar walks closer to the strange woman, "Are you ok?" She asked the woman. The woman stops crying, looks up at them, and covers her face and stomach. What the siblings saw made them all freeze in shock. The woman's neck was chewed out, her stomach was ripped open, spilling out her insides.
The woman looks up to them and screams. It was so loud that Haelth swore her bones shook.
"Run!" Skylar yelled at them. The siblings back out and run out of the alleyway. Haelth turn back-what the fuck? They crawled toward at a rapid pace. Like a snake, though she is snapping her teeth like a dog. The siblings got out there and ran through the maze always
Left.
Straight.
Right.
Right.
Left.
"Haelth?" A voice called out to her. Haelth turns to see Rin in the mouth of the ally that leads to the main street. She holding a bag, seeming shopping, and just happens to peek into the ally to see her. Haelth makes a beeline to her.
"Rin help!" The young child called to her. Rin immediately rushed to her side, "Some weird lady is chasing us! And she hurt too and-" She tried to make sense even if her brain was trying to catch up to the horrible sight of a woman's body. Worry, fear, and shock messed with her head and it was hard to get the words out. But Rin seems to get it.
"Haelth calm down. Let's just get the police and-" Haelth grabs her arm.
"Don't!" She shouted, so loud that not Rin looks at her but caught the attention of people. Shit. Haelth tone switches to a softer one, "P-please doesn't." The young child begs her.
Rin looks around and pushes Haelth away from prying eyes.
"Haelth what's going on?" Rin asked her, putting her hand on her shoulder, and kneeling beside her.
"I told you there woman in an alleyway! She hurt but when me and others tried to help her. She screamed and chased us!" She explained, in a frustrated tone of voice, "It was creepy."
Rin looks at her questionably. Then to the alleyway. She sighed and ruffled Haelth's head. Haelth grumbled but allowed Rin to be nice to her.
"Let me that a look," Rin said as she got up and walked to the alley. Haelth follows aside in case the young woman needs someone to protect her. Her siblings were all waiting for but entrance. When they got close enough Leonard turned to them.
"Skylar went to check if the lady was still chasing after us but she didn't see anything yet." He explained to the young child.
"Oh ok," Haelth saw Rin peek in, with a wary look. So Haelth calls out to her.
"Leonard said he thinks the crazy lady is gone." Haelth told her as the young went to the older woman's side, "Skylar went to look for her but big sister couldn't find her. So doubling back" Haelth tugged her kimono, which made the older smile down at her.
"Oh, then we wait for her." She frowns and kneels beside her, "Because I need to talk about something serious Haelth." Haelth tilted her head.
"What is it?" She asked, as all her siblings gathered around as Rin explained. Skylar still checks the ally.
Rin sighed, putting her hand on her shoulder, "I think something is going on in this village." She whispered making sure there was no one looking at them before continuing, "I check up on serval friends today but I can't find them. No one has seen them." She spoke in a kinda fast tone panicked tone.
"You think the police take them?" She asked her. One of her biggest fears is that the police will take her from her family. Police told her couldn't take care of herself so they needed to take her away. If they can do it to her then what they can do that everyone else in the child's eyes? Especially if they are around her age.
Assholes.
Young children knew that Rin mostly looked after young homeless women and children like herself because as Rin put it she was lucky that her brother took her in when she was down at her luck. These people were not and Rin felt like she should help.
Rin shook her head, "I don't think so. Haelth," She took in a deep breath before continuing, "I think you should live with me and my brother's family for the time being."
Haelth immediately moves out of Rin's grip. Run back to Annabelle's side, stood over her little sister protected. Leonard sighed, rubbing the back of his head while Fionn looked back and forth between his family and Rin, who looked worried.
"Rin I can't leave my family! I told you about this!" She pointed out.
"Here we go.."Leonard sighed.
"Haelth," Rin's lips press into a straight line before speaking out, "This is very serious! People are missing and you could be next! Please come with me." She pled with her.
Haelth shook her head.
"Well, my family can protect me!" She points out and Rin starts to shake, "Plus we big family. I don't think your home be big enough for all us-"
"Your family is dead Haelth!" Haelth froze as Rin bunted out, "They're not coming back!" Haelth flinched at her words but Rin kept on going, "You can't keep pretending your family is still alive or your parents are coming back." Haelth was shaking at Rin's words. How dare she?
Annabelle growled at the older woman's words.
"Hey-" But Rin ignored her and continued her rant to Haelth.
"This serious Haelth." Rin's eyes softened at her and she reached out to her, "People are missing. And you could be next! Me and my brother can take care of you. Ple-" She was cut off as Haelth smacked her hands. She froze as the young child glared at her.
"SHUT UP!" The young child yelled, catching a couple of bystanders' attention, "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Haelth stomps her foot.
"They're right here! They're coming back! Why can't you see it?" She asked Rin, her voice raw with emotions.
"Haelth…" Rin tried to reach out for her again but Haelth smacked her hand away.
"I'm going home! Back with my REAL FAMILY! To wait for my REAL PARENTS!" She shouted as she ran away.
"Haelth wait!" Rin shouted, but the young child was already down the road. Her siblings follow, and Annabelle sticks out her tongue at Rin as she passes. Just as they do Skylar peeks out the ally and sees her siblings going out of the village.
"Wait, guys!" Skylar shouted as she caught up with them, "What happened?" She asked them, seeing their expressions being mad.
"Nothing," Haelth mumbled, "Let's just go home."
The siblings all walk in silence after Haelth outburst to Rin. The young child knew that the older woman was just looking out for her, but the young child snapped after Rin said her family was gone. No, they weren't! They were right here! Why doesn't anyone get that?
They came to the path where their temporary home was but then they heard a voice. A couple of them. Everyone stiffed up and Fionn whispered to Skylar.
"Who's there?" Skylar didn't answer but pushed him to the brushes.
"Hide." She whispered, and everyone nodded. Quickly and silently hide in the brushes. Skylar popped her head in, telling them in a quiet voice, "I check it out. You guys stay here."
"Are you sure?" Haelth asked, "If we can all go together then beat up thieves!" She pointed out. Skylar looked down at her youngest sibling with a firm look.
"Haelth if too dangerous then we need to run. There is no shame in running to save your life." She told her. Haelth felt a blow on her ego as she said that. Didn't her sister want her help? Does she think is weak? She was strong! For some as small as her. At least that's what Pa said.
"But-" She tried to protest but her sister shoved her into the brush with others.
"No buts Haelth," Skylar said firmly before softening her voice seeing her lower her gaze, "I'll be right back I promise." She left after that. Haelth frowned, shifting uncomfortably as her sister said that. Haelth couldn't explain it, but Skylar's promise stirred her heart uneasily. The rest of the siblings were waiting patiently though while counting the minutes until her sister came back. Luckily it wasn't that long until Skylar came busting into their hideout.
"We need to leave." She said, her eyes widen in panic.
Leonard looks confused, "Why? What happened?" He demands.
Skylar said without pausing to breathe answers him.
"The police are here and taking our stuff out." The family looks at her in shock and horror.
"How did they find us?" Annabelle asked her.
"I don't know! They could have tracked us down, someone could have told them where we are. I don't know. I just don't know!" Skylar yelled in panic. Leonard tried their sisters down while Fionn and Haelth looked back and forth. Anxiety boils in her stomach like bad food. What do they do? That was their home! Where supposed to go? That's when Haelth got an idea.
"What about going back to the hotel?" She asked her siblings. They all stop panicking and look down at her.
"The hotel?" Leonard tilted his head.
"With Douma's group! They might shelter us like they did before." She told them. Three older siblings look at each other, thinking over what the youngest said.
"Well, he did have people that were homeless staying there," Leonard said.
"Will he let us stay long enough for Ma and Pa to come back?" Annabelle questioned.
"He said for a couple of days and they should be back by then." Skylar pointed out. She sighs, "OK we head back to the village and see if he takes us in." She told them. They were about to leave but Haelth stopped them.
"Wait I need to get something!" She told them, turning back to her home. Before she got too far Annabelle grabbed her arm.
"Not so fast runt!" She huffed as Haelth but her sister's hand, "Didn't you hear? Police are there and we need to move!" Haelth growled at her.
"I can't leave the violin behind! That's all I have left from the old house!" She told her. Annabelle frowns and looks at the others. Skylar's and Leonard's expressions were blank while Fionn looked worried.
"Ok.." Skylar said stepping forward, "If we are going to do it we have to be careful." Haelth broke out in a grin, while Annabelle looked in shock.
"What?!" Annabelle shouted in disbelief as she let go of Haelth.
"Are you sure?" Leonard asked her.
Skylar nodded, "If we quick enough we can grab it and leave. But if anything happens we run." She told them.
Haelth nodded, "Yeah I will sis. I promised!" She exclaimed.
Skylar nodded, "Follow me." She ordered them. The family follows close behind her, keeping low and out of sight. The voice grew louder as they got close to them. Haelth peeked out the brushes and saw to offices clean out their cave. Piling up all their stuff without a care in the world.
"Any sign of the kid?" One of them asks. The other who was looking in a cave with a flashlight called out. Haelth feels her blood boil seeing all the stuff being thrown out like they are garbage. Skylar taps on her shoulder. The young child looked up at her and Skylar silence pointed. Haelth looked and saw her violin right there.
"No, not yet." Another cop replied farther in, "Are you sure the missing kid spotted here?" Haelth creeps forward as they talk. Grab a hold on her violin. Slowly and carefully the young child pulls it away. Then she saw a picture of her and her family. It was a family photo of them when Haelth was born. Her parents save enough money to buy a cameraman to take a photo. She took the photo pocket in her kimono.
"That's what one townsfolk says." The first sigh.
The family left quite after that. They went back village in hopes Douma would let them stay until their parents came home.
The siblings went back to the hotel in the village. Keep their head down and look out for the police. Once they saw the hotel, Haelth quickly opened the door. The front desk worker looks down at her in surprise.
"Can I help you?" He asked.
"Yeah!" She walks up to the front desk. Looking up at the man. Wishing she was taller, "Which room is Douma staying at?" She asked him.
The man sighs, "Another one," He points down the hallway, "Go down the hallway is where he and his group at." Haelth nodded, "Thank you!" She said taking off before he could comment. The young child races down the hallway. When she got to the door, Skylar turned to her.
"Remember your matters Haelth." She told her.
"Yeah, I got it." She knocks on the wooden frame, "Lord Douma?" She called out, "Can I come in? I need to talk to you." She asked. There was silence then the door opened. But instead of a tall rainbow-eyed man, it was a bald one with a mean scold.
"Oh, it's you again." Seiji waved his hand, "Founder is busy. So you need to leave." He shooed her but Haelth was stubborn.
"But we need to talk to him! It's important." She pleads with him
Seiji's thin brow furrowed, "Well you and your 'party' can wait. Besides you left saying you don't need our Founder's services. And now you're back. Hoping you get back in his good grace. What selfish girl you are." He scoffed.
Haelth feels her blood boil. This stupid, old man was making fun of her. Skylar saw that she was shaking and kneeled beside her to comfort her.
"Haelth don't fall for it. He's just an asshole and not worth the effort." She told her sister. Glaring at the old man.
"Well I'm sorry but we need to talk to him. It's an emergency!" Haelth exclaimed.
Seiji shook his head, "Either way you need to wait." He huffed looking down at her, "You need to learn some matter. Your parents must be ashamed." That's it! Haelth going to bite him. Before she could tear him a new one, a familiar voice called out.
"Seiji?" Akemi's voice calls out behind him, "What's going on?" She asked, pushing him aside.
"Lady Akemi!" Seiji exclaimed as she pushed him aside and saw Haelth and her family.
"Oh Haelth!" She smiled at her, "What are you doing here?" She asked her.
"Akemi we need help!" Haelth told her.
Akemi's eyes widen, "What happened?" She asked her. Haelth told her everything. The cops, the raiding her home, and her parents were still out of town. Akemi's lip is put in a thin line, gulping nervously. While Seiji has an indifferent look.
"Oh, you poor dear." She slid the door farther open, "Come in! Of course, we have room for you!" Haelth walks in. Seiji's eyes widen, and he angrily pulls Akemi aside.
"What are you doing?" She heard the man hissed. Haelth turns her head to see the bald man glaring at the Akemi.
"That girl is trouble! The police are after her... She'll bring trouble on our doors." Haelth narrows her eyes. She was about to stomp over and give the bald man a piece of her mind but Akemi gave her a look that made her pause.
Akemi took Seiji's hand off her shoulder, "Our Founder's teachings is to help those that can't help themselves. Plus this isn't the first time we have members in trouble with the law come at our doorsteps." She smiled at Haelth before frowning at Seiji, "I let the Founder know she here once he is free about what happened. Until then she stays in the guest room." She told him.
Seiji was silent for a moment. Haelth was sure he was going to fight her on this but he nodded.
"Fine," He sighed, "But if anything happens it is your head." He told her.
Akemi nodded, "I think I take that chance." She said smugly before guiding Haelth to the guest room. It has fewer people as Haelth guessed they might be out in the town or doing something else.
Akemi turns to her, "Stay here until Lord Douma is out of his meeting." She said, "Don't worry it shouldn't be long." She told her, smiling to get her nerves down.
"Ok," Haelth replied, putting on a brave face. Akemi smiles back before closing the door. Once she was gone, Haelth walked to the counter of the room, far from anyone else. The young child sits there, putting her knee to her chest.
She didn't cry. Crying for babies. But it was a lot today. Yelling at Rin, cops raiding her house, her parents being away…She can't cry because that is when people pick on her. She can't show any weakness.
"Now, now what's this?" Haelth looks up seeing Douma standing there. The young child looked over and saw that the room was darker and quieter. How long was she for..?
The older man sits beside her.
"My follower told me that you seem stressed," He smiled down kindly at her, "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked her.
Haelth shifted uncomfortably, "I don't know…it might seem," She looked for the right word, "Silly to you."
Douma laughed, "Trust me young one I have lived for a long time, and there is nothing that surprises me anymore." He looked down at her, his smile never failing, "Come on you can tell me." He nudges her.
Haelth sighs, "Fine." Douma laughed quietly when she made a face, "But if you make fun of me I will claw your face." Douma held his hands up and laughed.
"Of course, of course." Haelth relaxed a bit, before sighing and telling her story.
"A bear got into our house and destroyed it. Making me and my family homeless." Douma tilted his head but said nothing yet, "A some police find me and said why was wondering alone. I tried to explain that my family was waiting but they didn't listen. They just said, 'A kid like shouldn't be here all alone.' then take me to an orphanage!" The young child growled loudly, "But I wasn't an orphan! I have parents! Why don't know see that?!" She lashes out.
Douma's eyes soften her. He rubbed her back, his big hand was surprisingly gentry.
"Some people don't understand what others going through and make the wrong choices in helping them." He told her.
Haelth scoffed, "Well I didn't want their help. They did more harm than good!" She crossed her arms with a huffed. Douma looks over to her curious.
"How did they mess up?" He asked her.
Haelth nodded, "Well first they put me in an orphanage when I had parents. The older kids pick on me because I'm different! I went to adults like my Pa said but because they didn't see them picking on me. They just told them to be nicer to me. That just makes me even more angrily. And when I fought back then I got into trouble because they had friends that stitched on me! But if they hit me then no one will rat them out." She huffed, "It's so not fair."
Douma hymn, softens, "People don't when things are different and take it out on the weaker ones."
"Yeah, but adults are no better." The young child scoffs, "They tried to take my violin went I was away."
Douma's eyes widen, "They what?" He asked in disbelief.
Haelth nodded, "Yeah…I couldn't find it when I got in my room one day. When I asked one of the caretakers they went to 'look' for it but they couldn't find it. They gave me biwa instead when I was upset. Saying 'You fit in a lot better if you play this.' " She huffed, grabbed the sleeve of her kimono, and balled it up in anger, "Like I want that! That violin was my Pa's. And he told me to keep it safe because that is one of the old things he got to keep in his home country. I don't want to play that stupid biwa!" She told him.
Douma nodded, "Understandable," he tilted his head, "But how did you find it?" He asked her.
"I was sneaking into the caretaker's office because I wanted to get some candy. But when I got there I saw my violin under the desk!" The young child huffed, and scratched her knee, "I was so mad that night I sneak out that night by climbing out of the window and never went back!" The young child finished her story and held her chin high.
"You're one brave kid." He praises her. Haelth blushed, not every day does someone compliment her. Most people find her stupid for doing that. Only her family praised her at times. But sometimes it feels like they only praise her because she is family. But Douma isn't, so maybe he thinks she is. It feels…nice.
Douma picked up the violin that was beside her.
"Can you play me a song?" He asked her. Haelth tilted her head, a song? She grab her violin and bow, before looking up at Douma.
"I can but I'm not as good as my Pa." She told him.
Douma smiled, "That's fine. That try your best." He told her. Haelth gulped, and put her violin in place, using her bow on the string. She remembers the song that her Pa played for her. It was upbeat, making your legs want to move. Douma's workers and guests look over at her as she plays. They started to tap their feet to the beat and then started to dance. Even Douma clapped his hand at it.
"That's it!" He cheered, making Haelth continue the song. She plays and plays until she comes to the end of the song. When she did the cheer and laughter stopped, making the young child look up nervous. The crowd claps and cheers.
"Bravo! Bravo!" Douma cheered. Haelth blushed at all the praises she received. She felt quite shy seeing all these people praising her.
"Oh my, you fit right in our village! You have a future talent to become a musician." Haelth's face fell a bit.
"I can't until my parents come back." She reminded him. Douma's smile never faltered.
"Well then, until they come back you can stay here. And I'll tell your parents that you will all move to my village." He tapped her violin. "And trust me when I once said: I will never tell you or your family to throw away your culture. We accept everyone there." He promises her.
"I'll think about it." It was all that Haelth said. Seems like a good enough answer for Douma as he smiled and took his leave. Talking to older guests and leaving the child to think about his offer.
That's a wrap!
Happy pride month! While being too busy to watch the new season I hope you guys are having fun. It looks good from what I saw. Other than that enjoying Little Kitty, Big City. Such a cute game!
