Is this..?

[morujiana]

Date & Time: January 21.
Location: Out in the Hold.
Characters: Morgiana and (YOU) [Open to all]
Summary: Have a really young Morgiana (around 5 years old due to the aging event)
Warnings: Probably just a really really frightened girl. Have fun with that!


[One chilly morning one would hear the sounds of a distressed child crying. The girl wore a simple dress that looked very ragged and her body was covered with dirt in some places that upon closer contact looked more like bruises. The one thing that was out of place was the chains wrapped tightly around her tiny legs. When she moved they would rattle very loudly and looked like it made walking difficult. Her bright red eyes looked around with nervousness as she shuffled forward with hesitation.]

M-Master Jamil..? W-Where am I!? A-Am I in trouble again? [Crouching down to wrap her arms around her legs Morgiana whimpered as more tears rolled down her already stained face.] I'm scared..I want my mama and papa..[The child could only vaguely remember certain memories of this place but she was utterly confused as to where she was.] I'm scared..

[Judal's response was met with a stunned look from the young girl. Dead? Master Jamil was dead?] H-He..[How could he die? The last time the girl saw him he was healthy and alive! A part of her didn't want to believe this stranger. What if he was just lying to her? It had to be a trick-] Food? [This catches her attention and the girl quickly rises to her feet. She takes a few hesitant steps forward, snatches the offered fruit from the magi's hand and then greedily bites into it. Her show of display is a good indication that Jamil had also been depriving her of food.]

hank uo..[She mumbled through a full mouth. After swallowing she holds onto the peach like a lifeline as she sends Juda a tiny smile.] Thank you..[She repeats before returning her attention back on the delicious peach. It felt nice to have something solid in her stomach. As the peach is consumed, Morgiana takes a step closer to Judal, red eyes staring up at him in wonder.] More?

[incendiarism]

More? You're a greedy kid, huh? Fine, fine.

[He holds out his other hand, which he'd been using to carry a bag of groceries behind his back. It's mostly fruit, but it's all found she can just eat by hand. Looks like Judal went hunting for snacks today. He leaves his arms out for a few moments, waiting for her to grab something.]

You can eat that on the way. I'm not standing out in the cold any longer, got it?

[And with that, he takes one of her hands and starts walking. It's way too cold to be outside with what he's wearing, so she'll either have to tag along if she wants to rest of what he's carrying, or get left behind after shaking her hand free.]

[morujiana]

[Morgiana doesn't hesitate in snatching another large peach from the outstretched bag and when the magi grabs her free one and starts walking, the girl obidiently follows.]

O-Okay. [Being forced into slavelife, it was natural for her to obey any orders no matter how big or small they were. Walking is difficult with the chains around her legs but she manages with minor difficulty. She sometimes stumbles but with having a tight grip on the magi's hand it makes her straighten up and hurry along by his side. Taking a bite from her peach she chews on it in silence as she glances up to the adult in question.] What's your name? Are we going to your home?

[incendiarism]

My name? It's Judal.

[He grins again. He walks at his normal pace, not really paying attention to whether it's hard for the kid unless she slows him down or trips.]

You're a Fanalis, right? We're from the same world, if you are, so that's why I'm gonna take you home with me. My place will be safer and warmer than standing out here!

[It's totally like adopted a puppy in the rain, right!? Cliches being adhered to and yet totally messed up is right up Judal's alley.]

[morujiana]

Ju..dal.. [She slowly says his name as she continues to scurry after the Magi. Her head tilts to the side as if confused.] Y-Yes..but..[She didn't know much of what Fanalis did. Her parents had been teaching her the basics of fighting before she was taken away.]

Home? Will there be lots of food there, and meat? [She can't help but be excited for this as she stumbles on her feet. This doesn't deter her and she holds onto his hand tighter.]
