Distant whispers could be heard past a near closed door, “None of her blood relatives will take her. If we can’t get any of them to take her then she’ll go into the orphanage.” Spoke one voice softly, while another retaliated, “I will continue trying, but when I mentioned who she was…that seemed to cause a lot of tension.” The two voices continued to converse as Susuko sat in a chair in a little empty room, clutching onto a small charred little doll that was pulled from the fiery remains of her home. “Did they ever find the bodies?” The same two voices were still conversing, “No, the Blades think they were burnt up, poor thing, for something to happen to one so young.” Susuko heard a chair move and footsteps approach from behind the door before it opened and she was staring up at a female Hyur. She gripped her doll harder, “Is Mama and Papa okay? Where are Mama and Papa?!” Susuko said with worry in her voice, the Hyur, kneeled down and patted Susuko on the head, “Sweet child…” the Hyur paused thinking about the words to use to explain to this poor and lonely child what had taken place, “They…t-they aren’t coming back. They are with Oschon now.” The Hyur’s hand patted the little Susuko’s knee as her eyes began to tear up, “I want Mama and papa back…I WANT MAMA AND PAPA BACK!” Tears ran down Susuko’s cheeks as she cried out, the Hyur wrapped her arms around Susuko holding her close, and spoke in a quiet and calm voice, “Shhh, mommy and daddy aren’t going to show sweetie.” Susuko cried into the Hyur’s shoulder eventually passing out.
Susuko awoke again in her Ishgard bed chamber to sound of someone knocking on her door, “Yes..yes I’m coming.” She threw herself out of the bed and wrapped a robe around her as she walked towards the door. Upon opening it was her FC issued weaver, “Ma’am I wanted you to know that it is midday and you are still sleeping when we have profit to make. Also, Blue will be meeting you soon to hear your report.” Susuko’s eyes went wide upon hearing this, “Shyte…shyte…shyte, um okay wait for me at the tavern’s bar, I will be down shortly.” The weaver nodded her head and briskly walks off as Susuko closes the door and begins to get dressed. She hops around the room fighting with her clothes. Finally getting dressed, she grabs her change bag off the table and walks towards the door, “Let’s see if I can sucker more people into buying blankets today.” She chuckled as she stepped out of her room and closed the door behind her.
