The Magic of Frost

[saving_sound]

[Action; Sigyn District]

[Sure is a regular day around here! I mean, it's colder than usual - part of why Hibiki's got a thick coat, scarf, and cap set today - but really, how odd could it be for it to get a bit chilly?

In fact, she was just on the way through her own district over to Odin's to see if she couldn't find some nice books when she first spotted the fairies. And given they're so beautiful...]

Wow! I have never seen anything like it! I wonder what it is...?

[Which, naturally, gets the attention of the fairy. As it begins to make its way towards her, Hibiki stops to admire it...

Only to give a small yelp when it promptly claws her.]

Wh-wha-?

[She is completely caught off guard, making the fairy's attack even easier. It latches onto the small girl's arm, its claws digging at her sleeve and nicking her hand in the process, leaving it chilled and numb. In a panic, Hibiki tries to pull away, accidentally slamming her bracelet into the ground as she falls.]

[Hibiki blinks in surprise as the screen comes up, but once it registers, she quickly begins her plea for aid even as her voice cracks with fear.]

S-someone, help! There's a monster or--or something. I don't-

[She is cut off with a terrified squeak as the fairy gets the jump on her.]

Sounds like progress to me. Didn't begin the study of medicine until I was 18 or so -- a young man.

[saving_sound]

So... you are saying I just need to wait until I'm older?

[Herp derp. Oh hey, there's the hospital!]

Ah- we're here!

[Action]

[the_good_doctor]

I'm saying that it's a process. People learn in small steps.

[The sight of the hospital is a relief. John can handle himself, but he'd much rather not have to worry about a child with him.]

So we are.

[Action]

[saving_sound]

Maybe...

[She doesn't sound like she totally believes him, though.]

I should go help the others - will you be going back to your district, or...?

[Action]

[the_good_doctor]

I'm guessing that your friend isn't the only one of its kind wandering the city, in which case I'm inclined to visit the weapons store, see if the bullets I ordered aren't ready to be picked up.

[She nods with understanding.]

Mm. Please be careful while you're out there.

[Action]

[the_good_doctor]

It'll take more than a little frost to slow me down, don't worry.

((Is Watson going to get his coat back?))

[Action]

[saving_sound]

I hope so...

[It's then that she remembers the coat, which the mun also completely forgot. Whoops.]

Oh! I should give this back, huh? Sorry.

[+1 coat to Watson!]

[Action]

[the_good_doctor]

It would be appreciated.

[Watson shrugs the coat back on. Having Hibiki watching him, he can't resist giving his walking stick a twirl and Hibiki a salute.]

Until later.

[saving_sound]

[She giggles at that. So cool!]

Uh-huh! Good-bye!
