[ ooc: from here ]

[ Huh? A girl? Konzen is taken aback. She seems so insistent on blocking his way. And yet ... he really needs to get to Goku and Elise. ]

But ... I have to find someone.

[ He frowns. ]

[ammyterasu]

I'm sure there are people helping them. The people here are good and kind!

[Her voice sounds determined.]

I'm sure they wouldn't want you to put yourself in unnecessary danger for them.

[bon_bon]

[ That seems to be a contradiction in his mind. If Konzen doesn't put himself in danger for Goku, who would? Random strangers? ]

I have to do something. Goku is my responsibility.

[ammyterasu]

[She frowns a little at that. She can understand why he feels that way, so...

She nods suddenly, determined.]

Okay! Then I'll come with you. Come on!

[...and she turns to storm towards the flames, okay.]

[bon_bon]

Wait---!

[ Konzen sighs heavily. He didn't mean for her to run in with him. She shouldn't even be helping with the flames! She's just a kid. Konzen runs in after her. ]

You should get out of here! It's not safe.

[ammyterasu]

Don't worry! I'm very, very safe.

[She smiles at him.]

Now let's find the people you need to find. Okay?

[bon_bon]

[ He's not sure it's 'okay.' He looks at her dubiously. ]

How do you know you're safe?

[ammyterasu]

[For a moment, she just blinks at him. And then she just smiles widely.]

I just know! It's… hm… it's like how you know you can breathe~

[bon_bon]

[ You just know? That sounds kind of...well. Strangely enough, Konzen almost understands that sentiment. ]

What's your name?

[ammyterasu]

[Ah! Right, um...]

Ama-chan! Call me Ama-chan.

[bon_bon]

[ Ama-chan... Ama-chan, really? Konzen's not sure he can call anyone -chan, but he can't really say that out loud. ]

....okay.

Uh. I'm Konzen, by the way.
