[In all the confusion searching for her god has been like looking for a needle in a haystack. All the smoke and flames and panicking people have made it almost impossible to even tell which direction she's been going in.

But then she thinks maybe she heard her name. She turns and runs smack into another person. But this time when she looks up to apologize, she gasps.]

Konzen!

[This time when she runs into him, it's deliberate. She is throwing her arms around him in another hug. Unlike the playful hug from earlier though, this is frightened clinging.]

[ What a crazy end of a day this has turned out to be! But whatever negative things he might have thought are forgotten when he recognizes the little girl he's finally found in the chaos. ]

There you are....

[ He sighs with relief and doesn't even find it at all strange that she's clinging to him. ]

Are you hurt?

[lilys_poise]

I'm okay...


[She pauses to just let herself be relieved for a moment before letting all her worries out in a rush of words.]

But the fire was so sudden and everyone was running around and yelling and there was so much smoke and I couldn't find you!

[bon_bon]

[ Really, that's exactly how Konzen feels. Except maybe he's trying (a little bit!) to be the adult here, since he doesn't want to worry her too much. And yet, with the fires still roaring behind them, maybe they shouldn't get too comfortable. ]

I know. I'm sorry.

[ He holds out his hand. ]

Let's get you somewhere safe.

[lilys_poise]

[She puts one hand in his, and wipes away her tears on her other sleeve.]

But what about Goku? And Haru? Are they alright?

[bon_bon]

[ He takes them through the park, carefully finding the fast route out and away from the fires and commotion. ]

Yeah, I saw Goku earlier. He's fine. Haru, too.

[ He sighs. ]

I'm just glad you're all okay.

[lilys_poise]

[Elise breathes a small sigh of relief. They're all okay. Everything is going to be fine.]

Me too.

[She echoes Konzen's sentiment with a shaky smile and a little squeeze of his hand.]
