Twenty Rose Petals Fall - [Voice]

[its_rose_damnit]

[It's never simple with the Malnosso. Never. You give, they take, it's common knowledge around these parts now. Expecting anything less is just asking for trouble. Perhaps that's why Dist happened to return from his mission in the midst of an experiment. Or maybe his luck really is as poor as he complains about. Take your pick.

Regardless, instead of a man casually returning to the village, a young and very nervous young boy is stuck wandering around the square. He...knows this place. He remembers it. The name isn't ringing any bells right away, but Saphir knows he's been here before, long ago. And he also remembers two very important things about his sudden surroundings:

The Professor is here, and there should be a book - a book he can talk into.

In no time, Saphir locates his journal and hesitantly opens it up. He fiddles with it and - due to his skill with mechanics - figures out how to turn on the audio as well as make a filter. He doesn't understand, though, when the filter breaks, and just talks regularly into the strange and fascinating little book.]

P-Professor? ...Professor Nebilim, are you here? I-I think...I'm lost...a-again. [He ducks his head, somewhat ashamed, and on the verge of a meltdown.] Can you come get me? I'm...I-I see the fountain. I can wait there. P-Please hurry...

[There's a lot of really weird stuff wandering around right now. Halp. ;A;]

I can do that! [Hanging out with a real life fairy is pretty cool. And he'll get to keep her safe, too. It's a pretty important and special job for a kid, but he'll do it.] I'll make sure nothing hurts you, okay? The Professor might even have a place to keep you when I find her. And maybe she can turn you back, too! She's really smart!

[nephaery]

She's very smart, isn't she? ...But she...she's back in Keterburg right now. [At least she didn't flinch.] At least for a little while.

[minifontaku]

[Saphir blinks his eyes, staring with confusion and a hint of muted concern. What does this fairy mean the Professor's back in Keterburg?]

Wha--...I don't understand. Did the Professor find a way out of here? Is she getting help or something? Can she get us all out of here?! When's she coming back?! [She can't be gone too long, Saphir doesn't have anywhere to stay while she's gone.]

[nephaery]

If she found a way out that we all can use, I'm positive she'll come back for us. All of us. But I don't know when.

[minifontaku]

But...but if she's gone, then--...I dunno where she lived. She let me stay with her before, but if she's not here anymore...

[nephaery]

I know a place you can stay, with friends of mine. There's even some machinery you could tinker with.

[The fairy is doing everything in her power to be comforting and convince him that things are okay.]

[minifontaku]

[Okay, that's all well and good, great even, that Saphir can stay with the fairy and her friends - he's growing to like and trust her - but he can't help but feel a pang of suspicion and sudden confusion at the last bit. How...did she know he liked machines? They only just met, didn't they? She knew his name, too...]

How...how did you know--...that I like fonmachines? And my name - you knew my name, and the Professor, too! How come you know so much? [Huff.]

[nephaery]

We met the last time you were here. I just wasn't a fairy at the time. ...I'm from Keterburg, too.

[minifontaku]

Y-You are? We did? [But he doesn't remember. Was it that girl he met before, that one blonde girl? But he never saw her around Keterburg...] Who are you really, miss fairy? What's your name?
