[Have a little girl, Astral Plane! She's just delighted to be here, really.]

Hey, what's the big idea?! I'm not supposed to be here! Whoever brought me here, you better show yourself right now! How could you do this to someone like me?! I'm not gonna let you get away with this, you bas--

[And this. This is the face of someone realizing that there just miiight be other people around. Nervous little laugh and... time to turn on the charm!]

O-oh, um. Hi there! Is there anyone here? Maybe someone who'd like to help out a cute girl like me? I'm really really lost and I don't know why I'm here. And I've gotta get back to Ion!



Huh, what's with all the stars here?

Yeah! It's kind of... [Laughs.] It's kind of my job to look after him!

[oliverplus]

[smiles] He your brother, then?

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

[Utterly. Horrified.] N-no! He's the Fon Master and I'm a Fon Master Guardian!

[oliverplus]

Okay, sorry! [laughs, waving his hands]

So uh...what's a phone master when its at home? Someone in charge of communications?

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

[Oh, brother.] No, no! He's in charge of the Order of Lorelei, they're really important.

[oliverplus]

Uh...okay then. [he's not sure what that has to do with phones, but he'll take her word for it]

And you're his guardian? [he might sound a bit skeptical. children shouldn't have jobs like that, Anise!]

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

[Frowns. It's a very important job, okay!]

Yeah! I'm good at it too.

[oliverplus]

[smiles, amused at her vehemence] Yeah? How long've you been guarding him?

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

I got the job two years ago! Almost three.

[oliverplus]

[he's surprised enough at that to blurt out his next question without thinking] Really? How old are you?

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

I'm fourteen! [Smiles brightly. Totally playing up the cute little girl aspect.]

[oliverplus]

You've been working since you were eleven!?

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

No, of course not!

I joined the Oracle Knights before that.

[oliverplus]

...how long before!?

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was sooo long ago!

A year? Two years?

[oliverplus]

You can't be a knight when you're that young!

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

[Finally seems to notice that Oliver isn't exactly taking this bit of information well.] I wasn't doing anything really dangerous then.

[oliverplus]

[scoffs] Sure, fine, but...you shouldn't have to do anything like that! Do all kids have to do that where you're from?

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

No. My whole family works for the Order of Lorelei, that's all!

[oliverplus]

[frowns, probably not liking this line of questioning any more than Anise does] But they make a kid work, too?

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, no, of course not!

Nobody's making me! [She tries to look composed, but a careful look might reveal she's looking just the slightest bit uncomfortable. Hey, having a lot of debts to pay off will push you into work early!]

[oliverplus]

[unfortunately for Anise, Oliver can feel her discomfort even more than he can see it. he considers pushing the conversation further, but they did just meet. he'll have to keep an eye on her, at least]

Well...just be sure you're taking care of yourself, too, all right? Not just your...uh...Phone Master.

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

[Phew! That's better!] Don't worry about me! I may just be an adorable little girl, but I'm tougher than I look!

Ion would worry anyway.

[oliverplus]

[smiles, trying not to look as worried as he feels] I bet you are.

And hey, if you ever need a break, now you can come to this place!

[cuteliar.livejournal.com]

That's right! If time won't pass back home...

It's great!
