Melancholy

[Cecilia]

Cecilia shrugged. " I like you. You seem like a nice person."

[dragoon01]

Dadramora smiled. "Your the first to say that in a long, long time."

[Cecilia]

Cecilia smiled back. "Well, it's true!"

[dragoon01]

"That is for you to decide for yourself. It is your opinion, not mine."

[Cecilia]

Cecilia smiled at Dadramora. "How old are you?" she asked. "You look young but you talk like a wise old man."

[dragoon01]

"I am over eighty. I speak how I always have. The truth."

[Cecilia]

"Wow!" Cecilia exclaimed. "Even when you were a baby?" she asked, joking around. "I'm only eight."

[dragoon01]

dadarmora laughed at this. "no, it started when I was five and my mother was slaughtered before my very eyes."

[Cecilia]

Cecilia gasped. "That's terrible!"

[dragoon01]

"It's fine. I don't remember her that much."

[Cecilia]

"I don't remember my mom that much either." Cecilia said, relating to the man. "I never saw her die though. Nobody ever told me how my parents died."

[dragoon01]

Dadarmora looked at the girl. She seemed so... helpless. How could Namesiwa say she was the future. Even so, Dadramora had a feeling he should trust the man. "Tell me Cecilia. would you like me to look after you in Namesiwa's stead?"

[Cecilia]

"Like, as my new mentor?" Cecilia asked.

[dragoon01]

"Yes, if I can teach you whatever you were learning from Namesiwa. And as an adoptive parent, if you would like me to. I am very able to protect little ones." (in case you're like, wtf, Dadramora has a soft spot for orphans after losing his parents when he was twenty, or about the equivalent of thirteen until he hit maturity and started aging like a dragoon)

[Cecilia]

"Sure, you can be my mentor! But my big brother takes care of me, so you don't have to worry about that."

((LOL I didn't think anything of it!! XD It's sweet.) )

[dragoon01]

"Oh, and who's your big brother?" Dadramora asked. "and I will gladly be a mentor to you. What was the last thing Namesiwa taught you?"

(just makin sure lol. Didn't want him to be portrayed as a pedo lol)

[Cecilia]

"Phillis von Christ." Cecilia answered the first question. "Namesiwa taught me a lot of cool mind thingys."

Xeon had been looking for the young girl and many citizens had said they saw a girl that fit her description go into the meadow. As Xeon searched the area, he had just about given up when he saw the girl. "Cecilia!" he called kindly and waved to her as he approached.

[dragoon01]

Dadramora immediately felt sorry for the girl. She deserved a better brother, but he didn't let that emotion show as he patted her head. "Well, tell me where you left off with him and maybe I could help." Then he heard a call, saw Xeon and immediately stepped in front of the girl in a protective manner. "What do you want?" Dadramora asked, venom dripping from his voice.

[Deleted]

Xeon only smiled in return, "I am here to see little miss Cecilia, haven't seen her since she left Paineston. Cecilia, is this your body guard?" he asked the girl.
