...Who are you?

[It's the only logical next question for Shin-ah. Who would she be that everyone is relying on?]

[ammyterasu]

[Oh. Oops. Maybe she shouldn't have said that. She puts her hands over her mouth.]

A-ah! Um… I'm Ama-chan?

[That's… that's good, right?]

[maskeddragon]

[That hand over her mouth speaks, even without a direct confession. The halting surprise and uncertainty in her voice as she answers, too. Did she say something bad? Shin-ah doesn't know what could be so bad about saying who she is, or that everyone is relying on her.

He notices, but he has nothing further to add on it. Whatever her reasons, they should be respected. It wouldn't be nice to question her further.]

Ama-chan...

[A pause while he considers that name. She doesn't want to be led out-- she's trying to help, like he is.]

Are you looking for lost people?

[ammyterasu]

[Oh whew! She nods, enthusiastically.]

Yes! I'm looking for people who need help and I'm also looking for little fires that need to be put out! I just want to help as much as I can...

[maskeddragon]

[Looking for people who need help. Shin-ah can help with that. Mutely, he taps his mask by the eyehole, then looks out across the blaze. After several seconds, he points assuredly out into the distance.

He's found someone.]
