... started walking towards her with his hands in his pockets. He noticed her distressed look.

notices the large scary looking man... and promptly turns tail and hides behind a garbage can.

raised his brow at that and kept walking before looking at her from the side. "Hej...?"

gasps and presses up against the wall. He was as scary looking as those vikings from before! "...h-hi..."

smiles a bit and crouches down to her level. "Ah, English... Are ye okay?"

blinks as he sinks to her level, relaxing slightly but still on guard. "I-I'm fine, mister..."

nods a little at that. "Are ye lost, little one?"

hesitates a little. "....maybe..."

smiles a bit and held out his hand. "Here... let's go find yer parents."

shifts on her feet awkwardly, shaking her head. "....Annie told me not to follow strangers...."

nods. "Ja, and that's good advice. But she'd not be able to find ye behind here, would she? Besdies, I know this area well."

bites her lip. "...I guess not..." she admits softly, stepping slightly to him. "Will you take me home?"

chuckles. "I'll try and help ye find yer parents. If that doesn't work, then ja. I'll help ye home."

nods, stepping up beside him. "Thank you, mister.."

smiled and started walking around. "Where did ye last see them?"

to step quickly to try and keep up with his long strides, humming in thought. "Uhm... home? N-neither of them has visited me in a

while..." she admits sheepishly.

blinks. "Then where have ye been stayin' all this time...?"

blinks up at him. "At home..." she answers softly, wondering suddenly if that was weird.

nods. "Why don't ye take me there then?"

fidgets a little. "B-because I don't know where I am..." Hence, the reason she was here in the first place.

nods again and picked her up. "Here. This'll be a better view, for if ye recognise anythin'."

gasps a little and clings to him. "I-I don't..." she starts to tear up, she had been walking in circles for a while and no longer knew the

way home.

frowns and rubs her back. "Shh, shh... it's okay. We'll find yer way home.~"

sniffles a little, clinging to him. He should probably ask where she lives rather than asking her to find her way back..

would, but he hated to see a crying child. So he stroked her back a bit. "What kind of treats do ye like to eat?"

blinks up at him. "E-eh?" she asks, not having expected to get a treat for getting lost..

walked around a bit before going into a bakery and getting some pastries. "Treats. I know I always eat them when I'm upset, and even when

I'm not~"

hums softly at how good the bakery smelled, clinging to him still. "A-Annie says that's not a good habit to get into or I will end up

like Ali..." Not that she liked to listen.

shrugs and got his small bag, taking out a pastry and holding it out for her. "Well, don't tell her then, ja? This'll be our little secret."

nods a little, gently taking the treat from him and nibbling on it. "T-thank you.." she mumbles.

nods and rubbed her back lightly. He liked cheering up kids. "Do ye know where ye live? Like the address or general area?"

leans against him a little with the rubbing. "I live in York," she nods, still stuck in the past as well as in the wrong country. "Once we

get there I can find my way!" she adds confidently.

nods slowly. "... Right. Okay." He didn't want to admit he had no idea where to go at first, so he just started walking aorund and idly

thinking of where her home could be.

still hadn't realized she wasn't in Canada, somehow. She clung to him, assuming he know where they were going.

hums. "I know ye're not from around here, I can tell by yer accent... but..." He couldn't believe she'd be here all alone...

blinks, looking up at him. "...where am I?" she asks, wondering how far she had travelled if she had an accent now.

chuckles a bit. "Well... ye're in København."

....looks utterly lost at that, wondering if she'd travelled into indian land. "....K-kobern...?" she starts to say wrongly.

chuckles quietly. "It's a city in Denmark. That's where ye are right now."

blinks at this, expression falling between confused and devastated. "D-Denmark?? I-it'll take forever to get home!" she laments, starting

to tear up again.

blinks. "It'll be alright... I'm sure yer parents wouldn't just abandon ye in a foreign country..."

shakes her head. "N-neither of them know I'm here....m-most of the time they don't visit...." she answers shakily. "I-I live by myself...."

held her closely and stroked her hair. "Well, we'll find them. Don't worry. Once I'm on a mission I don't stop until I've completed it."

flushes a little in embarrassment. "T-they're busy..." She replies, shifting a little. "W-we could go to my sister's...."

nods a little. "Do ye know where she lives? Or anythin' about where to go?"

rubs at her face. "I-in America... Her name is Alicia Jones...."

frowns a bit, the name sounded familiar. "... Kay. It'll be a bit of a journey, but we'll get there. Okay?" He smiles as he headed home.

nods, clinging to him. She wondered if this man knew what she was, too...

starting to get an idea, since normal parents don't just leave their kids alone like this. Though he didn't want to get too carried away.

buries her face against his shoulder, settling in for a long walk.

eventually got home and walked inside. "I'll just be a quick moment, okay?" He smiled softly before getting some things. Soon though

Loki showed up and twitched his tail as he looked at her.

blinks, getting her footing back and looking up around the large home in awe. She startles slightly when she sees the cat staring

at her, pausing and staring back at it. O-oh, this was one of those new pets everyone liked in her home. She kneels down,

gently extending her arm to see if she can draw it over to her.

- Loki raised his head a bit and sniffed the air before walking over to her and rubbing his head against her hand.

smiles as she watches him, reaching out to rub the top of his head. "Hello little guy...." she mumbles, sitting down on the floor.

- Loki meows and curls up in her lap easily. He was nice whenever he got pets.

blinks at this, raising her hands up and a little surprised he settled on her so easily. She smiles when he settles down,

petting his back now. She was starting to feel sleepy petting him though.

came back a little later and smiled. "Seems like he likes ye." He crouched down in front of her and smiled more. "Ready to go home?"

startles awake at the sound of his voice, having started to doze and dream about fairytales. "E-eh...?" she asks, rubbing her

eyes before it kicks in. "O-oh, yes please..."

smiles and carefully moved the cat off her before picking her up. He brought her to the car and set her down in the back. "Here, I brought

some blankets and pillows. It'll be a long drive, and I want ye to be comfortable." He put everything down in the seat beside her, along

with a cooler and bag. "There's food and drinks in those, ye can help yerself. I even put in some fresh pastries I made earlier~"

lets herself be picked up and curls into his arms, smiling and nestling into her spot when she's set down again in the car. She

nods. "T-thank you mister..."

nods as he got into the drivers seat. "No problem." He was just glad she wasn't crying anymore. He started up the car soon after and headed

off for the long journey.

settles down, awake for the moment and staring out the window as they go. She was eager to be home again.

just glad she trusted him. He'd never be able to get any of his brothers to cooperate this well.

trusted easily... maybe that's why Ann tended to watch her like a hawk. She starts to fall asleep again after a while, climbing out from

the seatbelt and curling up in a blanket.

drove carefully. He wanted to keep her safe. After hours though he finally got to unfamiliar territory and pulled over to the side for

a break.

stirs slightly when they stop, wrapped and tangled up in the blanket she had.

got out of the car and stretched, letting out a long yawn. He was kind of tired, but glad to have most of the trip over.

sits up slowly after a moment, peeking out the window and trying to figure out where they were.

noticed her and smiled, opening the door a bit. "Hej. Recognize anythin'? We've been in the USA for just a bit..."

peeks out, looking around. She shakes her head sleepily... America sure looked different now.

hums. "Do ye know exactly where yer sister lived?"

hums a moment, trying to remember. "In uhhhh Plymouth," she nods, sure of it by the time she says it.

nodded and stretched a bit more before getting in the car. "We'll be there in no time, don't worry~ Soon ye'll be with family." He smiled

before heading off again.

climbs back into her spot in the back, humming softly as she settled in. She doesn't realize that modern Alicia lived in Texas- nor did she

know what Texas was.

barely knew this land as it was, and was mostly working on what he heard. "Do ye know yer sisters phone number?"

blinks at him, clueless. "Phone number....?"

frowns a bit. "Do ye not know it...?"

looks completely lost. "....w-what's a phone number?"

sighs. "It's a number used to contact people, ye know. From long distances. Like I could call from here back to Denmark."

hums, thinking he must be talking about contact info for mail. "Uhmm won't sending her a message take a really long time though?"

sighs again. "Not by phone." He hummed a bit and looked at her as they came to a stop. "... What year do ye think it is?"

bites her lip at that. She had already figured out she wasn't in the right year. "...i-it was 1673 yesterday.... I-I think Annie's

magic went wrong again.." >3<

... face palms before smiling. "Alright. I get it now."

flinches a little. "D-did I do something wrong?"

shakes his head and smiled softly to her. "Nej. Not at all." He leaned over to her. "So, yer sister is America, ja? I've never met her..."

blinks at this, smiling as he realized. "O-oh, yes! She's great," she nods, happy to know now that this man must also be a country-person.

smiles. "I know a bit of the area. Alright. I know where to go I think." He turned and started off to where Alicia was.

nods a little, curling back up into her seat. She was glad he knew where to find her, then.

hummed as he drove, glad to know where to go now.

excited to see Alicia now. And also figuring this was Denmark, was glad he wasn't as scary as the vikings had been!

very scary in the past, but was better now... After some time he stopped the car and parked it. "There... I think this is it." He was mostly

going off from what he learned in papers and by the other nations.

blinks and looks out the window, in awe at the large house. "This is where my sister lives...?" oAo
