∞ 47: Youth [accidental voice]

...This is certainly different.

I can deal with this, though.


[Action]

[Albert is most definitely looking for the clothes he had before as a child; he wasn't really dressed for cold weather. Unfortunately, he's discovering that nothing an 8-year-old would wear will fit a 13-year-old.]

[inabook]

Yes... you know my name?

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Word travels fast with these journals. I am Albert Silverberg. Is someone supervising you?

[Voice]

[inabook]

[she doesn't much like that word] I'm staying at Miss Judy's house.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

I see. I'd like to keep track of where our younger visitors are, so they aren't exposed to any extraneous dangers. Things can be ... quite random here.

[Voice]

[inabook]

Younger visitors? But... you aren't that much older than me.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Ah, but I'm not a visitor.

[Voice] ...that icon is vaguely creepy

[inabook]

Oh... I see. Then you live here?

[Voice] Yeah... He can be a creepy kid?

[chikaidestroyer]

Something like that, yes. You aren't opposed to the idea of someone keeping an eye on you, are you? Just as long as it's an adult.

[Voice]

[inabook]

I'm not going to cause trouble...

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Others might. The worry is having children who can't defend themselves left alone against people like that. Does that make sense?

[Voice]

[inabook]

[you are the strangest child she's ever met... but then she hasn't met very many] I'll stay with Miss Judy.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Very well. [Oh Estelle.]

[Voice]

[inabook]

...Are there really bad people around here, Albert?

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

There are. They tend to make no effort in being discreet about their ... badness.

[Voice]

[inabook]

But there are knights around to stop them, right? Like Miss Lynn?

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Miss Lynn? The knight you're also living with? Yes.

[Voice]

[inabook]

Then I don't think we have to worry.
