Looking around for but a moment, she had not seen anyone around her and was rather shocked at this realization. Perhaps, then, it was her mind playing tricks on her, but could her mind emulate the high-pitched, childlike voice of someone she had never heard before so well? [i][color=fdc68a]“DOWN”[/color][/i] It was not until that provocation from that voice that DOES occasionally come from nowhere that Valkyrie had thought to look downwards to see … a child?. A maiden wondering the shrouded recesses of a forest. A girl, gentle in years, under glowing grandeur and bewitching twilight. Valkyrie was surprised by someone so young around. Magical Girls were mostly youthful in appearance, though this one seemed especially young. If she were to happen a guess, she could not have reached any meaningful puberty, and if she did, Valkyrie probably couldn’t stop her external stoic shell from being pervaded from a lingering sense of second-hand despair for this young girl. Regardless of her appearance led Valkyrie to believe, however, it would have been somewhat difficult to guess her age from her appearance alone, given that magical girls like herself have lived much longer than their physical ages might let on. After all, had it not been for the effects of her magic, she would have taken the appearance of a village [i]abgai[/i]. [color=fff79a]"I am placing these signs across the road. I was told that this would be of help to someone." [/color] After listening to her request, the booming voice of her demanding partner began to grow inside her head, and it told to ignore this girl and to continue about her duty. Valkyrie was the type that would much rather allow others to deal with the problem if she could and orders from her benefactor were just about absolute. In addition to that, given that he is a being that can communicate directly with her, there are ways to make the act of barking such demands an insidious endeavor; something she was keenly aware of. [color=fff79a]“I have heard of such a place. If it pleases you, allow me, Valkyrie, to be your guide, young girl. I cannot allow someone as young as you to take upon them such an arduous task by themselves, though allow me to ask: why would a young girl like you desire to enter a place so dangerous right now? What draws you there?”[/color] While the tone of valkyrie's voice might not have conveyed too much warmth, being rather monotonic in its pitch or tone. Though she did mean to help out the other girl, even if she didn't comprehend the correct method to display such minor conversational queues. However, given her tone, one might confuse such questions for an inquisitor. Even if it was an order, she would assist the small girl. After all, Valkyrie was not the sort of person to sit idly by while someone who was calling out for help before her very senses. If she ignored this girl now, given the tenacity of a magical girl, she would likely have figured her own path forward; one full of the dangers and threats. Therefore, Valkyrie would be the one to assist this young lady to forge her path towards the ever-forward dawn! [i][color=fdc68a]"You? Sticking your nose into something you shouldn't? A rare occurrence, indeed, [i]Basaghan[/i]," [/color] [/i] Yury said, seemingly in jest, though there was an air of genuine surprise about his tone. After all, Valkyrie rarely showed interest in others. Even if she had disobeyed his order to ignore the girl, and while she had no attachment to her, Valkyrie would not leave someone in need on the side of the road.
