       ❝ look, i’m not mad. ❞ he says it softly and calmly as he kneels down before her, the gentleness to his voice seemingly out of place. he’d very much so like to mind his own business while in terra ( especially with this damn eternal night they’ve got going on ), but that big brother in him can’t just abandon a kid. besides, leslie seemed a little lost anyway. he’s a bastard, sure, but not a heartless one. 

    he doesn’t try to soothe her with a pat, his arms remaining atop his knees as he peers up at her. a small smile forms, shoulders shrugging as he glances around. ❝ lots of scary stuff out here, you know ? you should be staying inside. kids like you’ll be curious, but leave figuring things out to the adults. ❞ // @onlyindarkness

"I don't know where i'm meant to be inside. There's so much.. strangeness. Carriages without horses. Louder noises, and everyone dresses different than what i know." She admits this freely. Glad at least the other isn't trying to baby talk her. At least this white haired person seems kind, seems polite.

But how much of this is true?

"people said shadow powered people belong here, in Black Grove. So i came here. Thought it'd be safe. Thought i could meet others like me."

  Hands outstretched, Jubei motions the girl from the position behind the tree. The forest is too quiet, frighteningly so. She fears that even the slightest wiggle of her tail could accidentally snap a twig or collide against the sturdy trunk adjacent to her. So she remains still, steadfast in stealth, urging the girl before her to do the same.

    “Are you here on your own?” Jubei asks in a strict whisper, her golden eyes seemingly alight amid the darkness. The tips of her ears rise higher when she hears sudden movement far ahead. Fellow allies tasked by the princess on this perilous mission to save Tenebrae? Or was it the nasty beasts themselves on the prowl, biding their time, waiting? Taking a good look at the girl, she looks incredibly young. Her brows furrow, disconcerted. “Let me help you.”

Leslie stared at the other, eyes fastened onto the little ears that.. that actually move, wiggle and such!! It's clear as day (ha!) to the white haired girl those are real. So entranced by the odd little ears that she doesn't register standing oh so slowly. Moving toward the other and waiting.

Leslie is. not so scared.

She has company now, right?

Yesod had no intention of interfering in business that was not his own. There was enough on his plate already, such as trying to have nothing to do with this eternal night business (he was not equipped for combat).

Yet, when faced with the sight of a girl about to eat food from the ground, his germaphobia won out.

“Do you have any idea where those have been?”

Leslie looked up and slowly blinked. Wariness and desperate loneliness at war between her. Could she? Should she? WAsn't it a danger to speak to those she didn't know? LEslie's little hands held the berries and looked back at the purple man.

So tired.

"They.. they came off the bush? I saw the birds nibbling from it. If the birds eat it, that means it's safe. Doesn't it?"

Quietly, Leslie huddled below the large tree. It had been half a day in this strange new land and.. She had grown very hungry! But none of these plants seemed to be anything like what she was used to.

For now, she cradled a handful of berries she had seen an animal nibbling at. If an animal ate it, that meant it was safe, right?

Starter call, no cap! May or may not be event related! 

Who wants to meet this baby? 

[onlyindarkness]

Leslie was.. very scared and very confused. After getting her new items she had been left alone; because so many other people had come in to this strange place at the same time as she had! She didn't know what the thing inside the room was, it looked more complex than any viewing crystal she had ever seen.

So, she had gone where everyone else seemed to be going. A place called Blackgrove. It gave her some small form of comfort to be wrapped up in the inky darkness.

She didn't know anything about this place. Not those strange horseless carriages on the roads, the loud and bright signs..

Why was everything so suddenly changed? She had just been ready to put her plan into motion and now...!!!

A more modern take on Leslie while she’s in Terra!
