[The journal picks up the sound of rain falling and the quiet but the distinct voice of a child, though it's a bit hoarse as she's been crying. her voice is getting further away]

Brother? Brother! Please, you said you wouldn't..

You came back, so I thought-

I have to be strong..

[And the voice drifts off, because she's walked too far away from the journal. But hey, there it is again as she tries to retrace her steps]

I.. ran too fast, I ran too far away.

Brother, I'm sorry..

[ooc; Open as well as a journal post! Anyone care to find/bump into this little tyke wandering around outside the castle? Shut it, I'm not spamming >> Posted early in the AM because I got bored]

[hang on a sec, that voice sounds kind of familiar from a while ago... Ravi pauses, then decides to speak up]

Hey, you okay there?

[redresolve.livejournal.com]

[She jumps a little, not quite expecting the book to speak to her. Hesitantly, she steps over]

.. Is someone there?

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

I'm around, but it'd probably help if I headed outside instead of talking like this, right? You mind waiting near the book you've got there?

[already on his way, Ravi reaches the castle grounds a few minutes later? >>]

[redresolve.livejournal.com]

[The book? She picks it up and hugs it close to her chest. When Ravi gets there, he's free to spot a little girl whose long hair is soaked through. And her clothes are covered in mud, she looks exhausted]

.. Mm. I can wait.

[spots the mini-Rinali! Ravi approaches, wondering if he'll be able to pull off handling a little kid without making her cry or anything else like that]

Sorry, it's kinda wet out here, huh... Not sure an umbrella's gonna do a whole lot now, either.

[holds it up anyway]

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

I'm Ravi, by the way.

[redresolve.livejournal.com]

[Taking a few steps back, at least until she's found a good hiding place! .. that isn't very awesome, because the ends of her pajamas are still hanging out]

.. Hello?

[redresolve.livejournal.com]

The..

[He doesn't have a uniform! She wipes her eyes and attempts to compose herself before slooowly slipping out from behind the tree]

I'm looking for my brother.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[He's coming back from the woods, looking rather soaked even with a rain coat and worn out. Running off like that after his talk with Ruby wasn't his smartest plan. But he stops when he sees Rinali's figure, recognizing it from the last time]

...Rinali?

.. >> you saw no typo

[redresolve.livejournal.com]

[Now this one confuses her a little. Another Exorcist? But why did this one look so tired, and why was his hair that color? She doesn't trust him -- that much is obvious, but she's definitely curious]

Are you.. here to take me back?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Take you back...?

[he shakes his head as he squats down]

No, I'm not.

Are you all right?

[redresolve.livejournal.com]

I ran away. Usually, if you run away, they find you again.

[When he squats down and reassures her, she takes a step towards him]

.. Mm, I'm not hurt.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, you'll be safe here. There's only Exorcists here from the Order.

Good. [he smiles] I'm Allen.

[DO YOU LIKE GIANT DOGS? Because that's what's following a very...confused Miranda. She's not quite sure what's been going for the past week and was headed back to the castle (apparently with dog included) until she spots the little girl!]

E-excuse me? A-are you alright?

[redresolve.livejournal.com]

[NO I DO NOT LIKE GIANT DOGS. .. okay, well maybe a little. She's hiding from the dog, but the lady looked nice enough] Mm..

I'm looking for my brother.

[justthatunlucky.livejournal.com]

[HE IS BIG AND TOO FLUFFY AND YOU CAN RIDE HIM. I DO NOT SEE WHERE YOU CAN DISLIKE HIM.]

Ah! R-Rinali? What happened to you?

[redresolve.livejournal.com]

.. Eh?

[BUT IT IS A BIG DOG. IT COULD EAT HER. She knew her name, too? She takes a cautious step forward]

Are you an Exorcist?

[justthatunlucky.livejournal.com]

[DO YOU SEE HIS FACE? IT IS A MIX OF STUPID AND CUTE. HE COULD NEVER EAT YOU.]

Y-yes! I am.

[A small step toward her]

Wh-what happened, Rinali?

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

[She can't help but pause at the sound of a crying child, and veers a little off her path to go check it out. Oh hey, little Rinali]

Rinali?

[redresolve.livejournal.com]

[She shrinks back a little but her exhaustion is kicking in]

They.. said he was here.

[ofthefaintsmile.livejournal.com]

Who? [she tries to look a little less intimidating, crouching and smiling a little kinder than she normally would]

[redresolve.livejournal.com]

My brother! His name is Komui..

[And now she's looking up, hopefully, to see if the name rung any bells]
