"Nice to meet you Fleur."
Fleur heard Rosa but her eyes were fixed on his brother. Mazrin was looking at her, as if studying or analyzing her or some sort. For a minute he reminded him of the Red General. Maybe it was his curly dark hair.
"Yes, very nice indeed."
He spoke suddenly and smiled. It brought her back to reality and looked away, embarrassed. Fleur held the glass box behind her tightly.

Karashi smiled up at Syl. She was glad that he was carrying her, and that he had accepted her so gently, as if she were fragile. She winced as she was handed over, but tried not to show it too much. She then heard a heavy french accent coming from a girl, and she looked up to see a very cute girl with blond curls. She then heard two more voices, Rosa and Maz. She smiled at them, glad that more people were here. She looked up at everyone and tried to look as polite as possible, despite her injuries. "H-Hello........." She was shaking uncontrollably, and she was running a fever. She hated that she looked bad, considering her new clothes were about torn in half from the fighting the man. She realized that her right breast was exposed and blushed, trying to hide it as best as she could, hoping no one saw it.

Rosa crouched down beside Karashi, slightly concerned for her. She didn't look too well, and her clothes seemed to have seen better days. Rosa pulled off her black jacket and offered it to Karashi. She could always grab a new one from the mall and Karashi seemed like she needed it more right now.
"Here, you can use this to cover yourself up." Rosa said with a comforting smile.

Karashi frowned and then smiled a fake smile when Rosa bent down in front of her. She knew she was injured, but she tried hard not to show it too much. She smiled a real smile when Rosa offered the jacket. She took it, and put it on, making sure it covered her exposed part. "T-Thank you........" She didn't know how else to thank the girl, and she knew that a hug would hurt.

"T-Thank you........"
"It's not a problem," Rosa said kindly. She liked Karashi, maybe it was her child like personality that she found endearing. "Looks like you have more use for it that I do right now."
Rosa looked at Karashi slightly concerned. The girl didn't seem to have too much luck with keeping clothes in tact.
"Are you okay? You don't look well at all, and what happened to your clothes this time?"

Karashi had heard the question, and she really didn't like talking about her ordeal, but if she had to then she would. "A man.......attacked me........and tried to rape me.........." She broke down into tears, reliving the horrible scene in her head.

"A man.......attacked me........and tried to rape me.........."
A look of disgust filled Rosa's face. She had seen plenty of horrors in her time but it was still the capabilities of man that disgusted her the most.
"Men are pigs." Rosa spat out, getting an immediate look of faux shock from Maz. "What? They are." Rosa continued, before turning back to Karashi. "It'll all be okay, for every evil person there's a nice person, like myself for instance." she said with a half laugh, hoping to cheer Karashi up slightly.

Karashi continued to cry, unhindered by Rosa's half-hearted laugh. She shook her head, telling her that it was not ok.

Syl looked at the conversation as it looked at Karashi, obviously concerned for her. The introductions meant little to Syl - they would only provide snippets of information that only Kiel could properly make sense of. Right now, it was simply feeling dejected because of being ignored. It wanted to be useful, important, not some useless little brat. It wanted to lash out at everyone, but it kept that urge suppressed.
It just held Karashi is its arms, as it gingerly covered her exposed breast from view of the others, remembering how she didn't like being seen naked.
"Miss Karashi," said Syl, looking her in the eyes, holding her close to it, "please don't be afraid... don't let this destroy you. I don't know what is rape, but if you need any help, I'm here for you. I'll do my best, alright?"
Syl's eyes became teary as it saw her cry, as a sad expression appeared on its face.
"Please, miss Karashi, don't cry," said Syl, gently "I don't like seeing people suffer. At all. It's horrible when people try to hurt others... I just want to help in any way I can. Please..."

Karashi heard Syl's words, and she looked at him. She wiped her eyes and smiled up at him. "I know you will. And you're doing it right now. You're holding me, and that's all I could ever ask for." She then frowned and wiped the tears from his eyes. "Don't cry because of me. Pity not the ones who are in pain. Pity the ones that are in need of a friend." She smiled, then kissed Syl on the cheek.

"Maz, pass the bag."
At Rosa's request Mazrin handed her a shoulder bag that they had obtained days prior. They had the common sense to carry around essential supplies with them in case they were needed, in case of a situation like this. Rosa pulled out a small bottle of painkillers and a bottle of water before offering Karashi two of the pills and the bottle.
"These will take away some of the pain," Rosa said kindly but calmly. "They're not dangerous but they may make you a little drowsy so Syl will have to support you."

Syl smiled at Karashi, still holding her close, ignoring the strain that her weight was putting on its body. If someone was in need of it, it was worth the effort.
"I'm glad, miss Karashi, very glad. Thanks for the kiss."
It walked toward Rosa so that Karashi could easily reach for the bottle of water and pills with little effort.
It smiled and inclined its head at Rosa. It didn't know if they knew what this meant, but for Syl this was a gesture of gratitude and to some extent, respect. In a way, it felt indebted to them, and it felt a sense of connectionas they had siblings like it did. The difference was that they they went to places together, while Kiel was nowadays fairly aloof and Asri... where was he?
"Thank you so much, miss Rosa!" said Syl, "I'll try to help you out if I can, so long as it doesn't involve causing others to suffer. It's the least I can do... I don't want to be a burden to anyone... I... just... don't like shooty-things and people getting shot and killed and hurt. At all. It's... it's bad... really bad..."

Karashi frowned, then looked at Syl. "Put me down. Please." She looked at him, pleading with her eyes.

"At all. It's... it's bad... really bad..."
"Well, violence often is Syl. Sadly sometimes its unavoidable, especially in a city like this."
Rosa and Mazrin both knew this all too well. Rosa wasn't against violence, it just seemed like a natural thing to her, it happened, it was nothing to be happy or sad about. Maz on the other hand was not fond of physical fighting, despite being very adept at it.
"Take the pills Karashi," Rosa said, trying to sound comforting, "They'll make you feel better."

Syl set Karashi down and took the pills and water bottle from Rosa. It knelt down before her, offering her the pills and water.
"Here, miss Karashi," it said softly.
It looked at her, smiling.
"Please don't worry. Everything will be alright. I've been through a lot, but I've stood up even after being tossed around by the insane things that happen here. Don't let this get you down, alright? You have people to support you here, to help you. Please don't forget that."
It turned toward Rosa and Mazrin. "Same for you two," it said, smiling, "and thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it. "
