A Surprising Visit[broegan]

"Mother, where's Tilly?" I demand. "I... Haven't seen.. Her." My mother lets out weakly. She is very sick and we don't know with what. Worse, we don't know how to cure it. She stays in bed all day and doesn't care about myself or my 8 year old vulnerable sister Tilly. I mean, I can take care of myself. But Tilly needs a mother. I'm the best she has right now though, considering my father is dead. I'm the only one she has. "God damnit!" I bellow. I grab my coat and fly out the door, searching frantically for her. "Tilly? Tilly? TI-oh." I bump into somebody. Before I got to look at who or what it was the girl apologizes in a soft voice
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going..!"
"No, it's okay, it's my fault. I'm sorry.. I am looking for someone."

OOC: OH, sorry I didn't know you fell, otherwise I would have helped you up hahaha.
BIC: She gets up from the cold ground and I feel like an idiot for not helping her up. "Oh! Really? Do you want me to help you, just in case?" She asks me kindly. Now I feel even more of a jerk because of how nice she is. "That would be.. That would great, if it isn't too much of a trouble. It's my little sister, Tilly. She's 8 years old, short for her age, long blonde hair.. She... She always plays outside with herself in the backyard... She isn't.. She isn't there and she never leaves without telling me. I am.. Scared." I spill out my feelings to this complete stranger...

"It's fine, I think I've seen here somewhere around the area of my shop..." She reassures me with a slight pat on my back. She leads me in the direction of which I am assuming her store is. "By the way, name's Dinah." She tells me. "Klaus." I say. "Hey, you really don't have to do this you know... It's greatly appreciated though." I say looking down at the cute girl. She's already looking at me and when I catch her stare she blushes slightly.

OOC: Oh my god you're sick! hahaha.
BIC: As we gradually end up towards her shop we see a few people and they were all scattered around looking at something. All of a sudden all the airs in my lungs escaped... Oh no. I run up to whatever they're looking at and to my horrific surprise, there's Tilly, laying on the ground. "BACK OFF!" I yell furiously. I scoop up my little sister and start running to my house... To my surprise, I just notice, almost being halfway to my house, Dinah was following me still.

I start to slow down knowing Dinah was following. She catches up to me and says through a winded voice "Do you think she's okay?" she examines Tilly. "She's breathing and nothing seems out of place... Just badly bruised." I state the obvious. We walk the remainder of the way to my house and I open the door. "You're welcome to come in if you'd like." I tell her as I walk in myself. I place Tilly down on the couch in the living room and yell out, "Would you like anything to drink?" I ask not even knowing if she accepted my request to come inside.

She declines politley. I put a blanket ontop of Tilly and wonder to the kitchen, grabbing some hot water from the kettle and poor 2 cups of tea. "Here, no need to be polite." I give her the tea. "She's just resting.. Would you like to sit down?" I offer, pulling out a chair in the dining room.

She looks innocently around my house, I assume to be appreciating. I work for all of our belongings. I work really hard to get the stuff we need and It's really nice to see someone realize it. I look at her in the eyes and see depth and someone really interesting, I wanted to get to know her.. I felt a strong friendship developing. "What kind of shop do you own?" I ask, interested.
