[19] Reliving childhood memories.. [Open voice post and action log to Cathedral]

[jiyuna_togabito]

Chrno...? Chrno!? Where did you go? I hear you bu- heheh stop hiding and come out! You can't fool me! Yah! [Sound of diving in sheets]

[Having come home late the night before, Aion collapsed onto his bed with his cellphone in his hand. Come morning, his body changed and swimming in his clothing, the demon gets startled by the beeping from the phone and wakes up. Recalling his comrade beside him before falling asleep last night or so he thought, memories altered, he starts searching under the covers to find him.]

[[ooc: yep~ you got it! It's Child!Aion of around 7 years old-ish with dark hair and fairer skin like Chrno since it's before he got tainted~ *SHOT*! If you're in the cathedral, you're more than welcome to come into his room or knock to start a action log! For everyone else, it'll have to be a voice post! Sorry... for the lack of... child icons... OTL.]]

[Of course Fiore was up already, as she always was preparing something or other. Whether making food, or doing laundry, mending clothing or stitching, she generally had something to do. It was quiet in the house, but then it usually was at this time; that was quiet until she heard a voice coming down to her and some more strange sounds. Putting down the dough she had been preparing, Fiore walked down the hall, pausing at Aion's door and listening for a moment. Yes, it was from there... She gave a small knock]

Master Aion? Is everything all right?

Can I has thread jack? have young teenager Lilith

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[She has been exploring since she awoke. This wasn't Earth, Mars or even their ship, Lilith adjusts her UNSAF white outfit and ventures out her chambers. They are too luxurious to be hers.

In awe, she begins walking in the corridors of an old Cathedral when notices a maid by the door.]

E-Excuse me.

[She tried English first.]

What are our current coordinates?

of course!

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion abruptly stopped as he heard more voices. Poking his head out from the sheets, he nervously stared at the door. Master? He gathered his courage and spoke up.]

W-Who's there!?

[maid-of-sin.livejournal.com]

[Fiore's attention was drawn away from Aion's door as a voice caught her focus. The voice in itself was familiar, though when Fiore turned, she couldn't help but pause]

Miss Lilith?

[Was this another of those curses? If so...]

It is Fiore, Master Aion. Are you okay?

I'm changing the icons, I swear

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Do I know you?

[Miss she called her, and not "Lieutenant Sahl." She peered inside, confused, there was a young boy there.]

Ah... Is the boy alright?

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Fiore? As the door slowly opened, Aion hide his face more before poking his head out again. A... human woman and a girl!? Oh no! What was he supposed to do now? The elders always told him not to interact with them until the time came. He clearly wasn't in Pandemonium anymore. He was scared but did his best not to show it... too much.]

I-I don't know who you are b-but I demand to know where I am!?

[maid-of-sin.livejournal.com]

It seems that at the present time you do not.

[She answered Lilith, for it would take a bit to explain, and right now she was more interest in knowing that Aion was okay. Fiore too took a look inside the door and did a double take as her Master peeked out at them, though he wasn't quite her master...]

The both of you are in the Cathedral. You... do not remember anything, Master Aion?

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

I am a doctor, allow me to speak with him.

[She didn't understand why this woman knew them both or where was her current location, but she had to help the child in distress. She entered to the room and knelt beside the bed. She smiled to tried to set the boy at ease.]

My name is Lilith Sahl and I don't know where we are. I... think this looks as a Cathedral, but I'm as lost as you are. Why don't we let the kind woman help us to come back home?

[jiyuna_togabito]

[That was the exact location the map indicated. The human is telling the truth at least.] No but how do you know me? [Chrno knew humans.] Are you Chrno's friend?

[He watched the younger girl come closer and lightly blushed as she smiled at him.]I-I don't need help!

[maid-of-sin.livejournal.com]

[Fiore hovered near Lilith, concern on her face, for she found it more than a bit distressing not to have her master know who she was. She sent a puzzled look in Aion's direction, her voice matter of fact.]

You are my master.

[Her gaze shifted between the two]

I'm afraid you are not able to leave this city.

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[She looked at him worried and extended her hand.] But I do. I am lost. Would you help me please?

[Her head turned to look up the woman and widen eyes.]

W-We cannot?

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion stared at Fiore and gave a frown when she looked sad.] O-OK. I'll be your master.

[Seeing Lilith give him the same face, the demon took in a deep breath and stood up. Only wearing the over-sized white shirt they had just bought from the other day, he placed a hand on his hip and the other on his chest. A bright smile on his face, full of confidence.]

Don't worry I'll be your master too! I'll find a way! Leave it to me!

[maid-of-sin.livejournal.com]

No.

[Much of the city was still foreign to Fiore, though she knew that going home was not possible to them, nor did she had any reason to to home. Master Aion and Joshua were here with her.]

This place is called the City, and the City takes us here, and only it may send us back.

[Well, at least that was a good thing, although it wasn't really that he wasn't her master already.]

I would suggest further clothing, Master Aion, if you are going to go outside.

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[Master? Lilith would protest but she was charmed by the boy's exclamation.]

No, no Master. What about Commander? That has a better ring for you.

[She turned to Fiore after glancing at the shirt he was wearing.]

Where can we get clothes for him? What he is wearing doesn't fit; it's too long.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Commander? He remembered hearing that title somewhere and brightly smiled.]

OK. I'm the Commander then!

[As soon as he heard the girls talk about his clothing, he immediately looked down. Raising his arms out to the side, he then noticed how big they were. Fiore was right though. He needed to get ready fast! Chrno was waiting for him. Fiore. That name is just too long. With much courage, he asked the human girl.]

F-Fi~? Could you find clothes for me quickly? I need to go find him before he finds me!

[maid-of-sin.livejournal.com]

[Fiore gave a small sigh and curtsied, moving to leave the room. She paused at the door, looking back for a moment. The slightest of smiles dressed her lips, for even if he was smaller, he was still the same, in a way]

Please remain here, Master Aion, Miss Lilith, and I shall find some clothing.

[She was gone only a few moments, having taken some extra clothing that was laying around. The options were limited given his size, though it would have to do. She returned a few minutes after she had gone with a sweater and a pair of jeans in her hands]

These should do, Master Aion. Ah. Whom, might I ask, is trying to find you? And was there anything I could get for you, Miss Lilith?

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[She giggled softly at Aion calling himself Commander and stood up.]

Are you in a rush to meet someone?

[She paused for a while. She didn't know who were these people. They weren't part of the Red Mars project or had any UN credentials to entrust them with confidential information.]

Is there any way for me to contact others? A telephone? A computer? A walkie-talkie? Even a radio.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion silently stared at Lilith until Fiore returned with some clothing. Scrunching his face to the weird looking clothes, the demon child jumped off the bed to run to her with the closed cell phone in his hand.]

Those look weird.

[Looking up at Fiore as well as glance back towards Lilith, as they both asked who he was going to see, Aion deviously grinned and answered.]

Chrno of course! We're having a race to see who finds who first! He's a scaredy-cat too so if I don't find him soon he might start crying~

[maid-of-sin.livejournal.com]

[Fiore looked at Lilith for a moment]

That depends. If they are in the city, you may contact them.

[Personally, Fiore had no clue who Lilith was friends with, for the woman never pried into her life. Perhaps there was someone. Her face dropped slightly at Aion's words and her hands cupped before her, bowing her head]

Forgive me, Master Aion, but my selection is limited...

[The fact though that he was going to meet Chrno brought her head up swiftly]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

I don't know if they are, I should try to contact them.

[She insisted. Then paused at Aion's confusion, the clothes seemed perfectly normal to her opinion.]

Do you need help in dressing, dear? If that friend of yours is distressed we should assist him as soon as possible.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion slightly pouted but wasn't about to give Fiore a hard time. She did go through all that trouble to find him clothes after all. He started to take off the large shirt, swimming in it as he refused Lilith's offer, though it was obvious he needed help.]

I-I could do it! [Struggles to take off shirt.]

Janine said we could skip Fiore

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[She smiles at Aion's efforts and gently begins to unbutton the collar so would be easier for him to pull it out.]

Better?

[jiyuna_togabito]

[With the hole widened, Aion easily slipped off the shirt. Standing proud and bare, he gave a small pout.]

I-I could of done it... myself...

[Taking the smaller under T-shirt from Fiore, he stared at it semi-confused before slightly glancing towards Lilith. He quickly averted his eyes away and reluctantly asked for help.]

... Li? [Again, too long of a name.]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Of course you did. That's why you are the Commander. Allow me, please.

[She took the T-Shirt]

Move your arms up, Aion.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion pouted more and stared at the ground as he raised his arms up for her to dress him. It wasn't his fault for having to wear weird looking clothes!]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[She slid down the T-Shirt over his head, careful to fit the hole of the collar neatly so she wouldn't have to tug down too roughly.]

Done with this.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Squeezing his head through, he looked at his arms and then down, still bare from below the waist. He glanced at the two ladies wondering what goes on next.]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Do you want to help him with the pants, Fiore?

[maid-of-sin.livejournal.com]

[She gives him a dubious look]

If you wish, Master Aion, I will.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He quickly approached Fiore and looked up at her with his hands on his chest, curious to the next piece of clothing they were putting on him.]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

It'll be over soon. Bear with us, Commander.

[maid-of-sin.livejournal.com]

[Fiore could say that it was not something she was expecting to do, but then again, this city was not exactly usual anyway]

Pants, Master Aion. They have a zipper and a button, of course.

[She undid these, bending forward slightly]

Your left foot. If you could raise it, please?

[jiyuna_togabito]

Pants?

[Aion followed Fiore's order, lifting his left foot up high while looking down into the wide opening.]

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't really know what pants are for? Lilith observes silently.]

[maid-of-sin.livejournal.com]

Trousers, Master Aion. It is cold outside, and not proper to be running around in one's undergarments.

[Fiore moves the proper opening to his left foot and sides it up slightly]

Put your foot down now, and lift the other one please.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion noted what Fiore told him and followed through by placing the left and lifting his other leg. The little demon noticed how different Fiore's garments were and couldn't help but ask about that as well.]

Why aren't you wearing pants then, Fi? [Innocent and curious eyes stared at her.]

[maid-of-sin.livejournal.com]

[Fiore gave him a curious look. She'd never pried into his past, nor was it her business too, and she merely learned whatever happened to be told in her presence.]

The outfit was chosen for me, Master Aion.

[Part of the truth. She wiggled his other leg into his pants and drew them up.]

I am also female, and females wear skirts or dresses.

[Of course, a lot of females here also wore pants, but aside from Shader, Fiore hadn't seen any]

[jiyuna_togabito]

Hmmmm~

[Aion silently wondered if Rizelle or Shader had to wear one of those too, though Fiore was human. Humans wore different and weird clothing. He tentatively watched Fiore button and zipper him. Studying the finished work, he smiled at Fiore.]

Chrno was right. All humans aren't scary!

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Not all girls wear skirts.

[Lilith said quietly. She was wearing a one-piece white uniform with her rank and the UN emblem.

She blinks at Aion's statement.]

Why would humans be scary?

[maid-of-sin.livejournal.com]

[So it was different where Lilith came from too then, since a woman usually did not wear them.

Was she really 'human' anymore, but such semantics would only confuse everyone, for Fiore was but a doll for Aion. Despite herself, Fiore smiled in return, for it was hard not to smile when he smiled at her like that]

It is as Miss Lilith states, on both accounts. Here, and I suppose in other worlds, females may wear what they wish.

[She straightens his clothes slightly, making him presentable]

No. Not all humans are.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Aion explained as Fiore worked on his clothes.]

That's what gramps told us. That they're scary and think we're bad so we can't go to the human world until we're older.

[Unsure of how much time had gone by, the little sinner started to become more fidgety as he saw another piece of clothing that had to be put on- the sweater.]
