[On the other end is a young boy who couldn't be older then about 6 with short blond hair and blue eyes. He doesn't really seem to realize that he's being recorded, after all, what the hell is a recording device? It's obvious by his expression of confusion and fascination that he has absolutely no clue what he's doing with the device or even how to properly use it. Oh boy.]

[Action
[To anyone around Memoria park in Genessia City, there's a 6 year old kid wandering around. He's obviously confused, but for a kid, he seems to be holding up fairly well, until he suddenly has to hold his nose all of a sudden because it starts bleeding on him. He oddly looks like he's really not feeling well and getting sick, and from the way he's got his hand to his head, no doubt his head must be hurting fiercely. Especially since he suddenly just plops himself on the ground against a tree. Yeah, Styxx was not doing well in this new set-up.]

[[OOC Note: Please note that Styxx can read minds and at this age tends to slip up more, so if you do not want Styxx to be able to read your character's mind, just let me know.]]

I'm fine, and I have.

[Though he did have some nights where he was sent to his room without a meal as punishment, this was not one of them. Though if he was in a different realm then that meant he was away from his cruel family. Though....there was one member of his family he had to inquire about. With so many voices, he couldn't tell if his brother was even here.]

My lady, have you seen someone else here who looks like me?

[Her grin widens a bit.] I see. I was a stubborn princess once, too, you know.

[Again, she shakes her head.] I'm afraid not. Just you.

A princess from where?

[He seems somewhat disappointed when she says she hadn't seen his brother.]

If you see someone like me then, will you be nice to him too?

[Kindness towards him and his brother was so rare after all.]

It's a place called 'the High', where all the angels are from. [Absolute, beautiful paradise that she really didn't realize she missed so much until now.] It's very pretty. [Everything-- and everyone-- was pretty in the high.

She nods at his question, actually reaching out now to brush a tuft of hair off his forehead if he lets her. It's a gentle touch, and that warmth comes easy.]

Of course I will. [Why wouldn't she be? She's... well, Dove.]

[He looks confused.]

Angels?

[Yeah, he wasn't familiar with that pantheon, sorry. Also, he doesn't know who Dove is so that didn't really mean anything to him as he moved away from her so she couldn't touch him. It wasn't that he minded the touch of others, but a kind touch was such an alien thing to him and he didn't really know her.]

Thank you, um....Highness?

[She'd said she was a princess, right? So it was only proper for him to refer to her that way wasn't it?]

[Oh, he's actually really confused. She laughs a little and draws back her hand, wondering...why?] Mhmm. Angels. Wings and everything. [She doesn't quite bring her wings into view, but she will show him her Light, just a little. There's a bright warm glow to her eyes for just a moment, and she spreads her fingers through the grass in front of her. When she removes her palm from the ground, there's a single blue flower peeking through the blades.] We're vessels of Light, but...not too different from humans. [Mostly true. Kinda.]

[She bites back a bigger laugh at his formality. It's usually 'Archangel' back home, but she definitely doesn't mind 'highness'.] You can just call me Dove. It's okay here. [Is it alright to just call him Styxx, she wonders?]

[He's fairly amazed by it. He's never seen something like that up close before though he's heard of beings that could do such things before. He doesn't comment on it but his interest is written on his face at least.

At her mention that he could just call her Dove he seems to hesitate for a moment before speaking up again after having heard her thought.]

You can just call me Styxx then.

[She softens and picks the bud delicately, letting it fall into her palm, then watches him as her eyes begin to glow again. The same glow seems to surround the flower, and it grows and blossoms in her hand, right before their eyes. Once it's about the full size of her palm, she'll offer it to him with a smile.]

Alright, Styxx. [she agrees. Settling back to look at him properly.] How long ago did you arrive? Do you know what time of day, or where?

[He accepts the blossom and thanks her for it before glancing up at the sky.]

About.....an hour ago.

[He'd been spending it trying to figure things out though.]

Hm... an hour ago, huh? Have you explored much?

I have a little.

[That's good. She nods, then digs out her phone device. She should.. probably check in with Adult Styxx, if his little doppelgänger is here, right? Unless... this is the Styxx she's met.

[Well, if she tried to get a hold of Adult Styxx, the only phone that would go off is the little Styxx's here.]

[She sighs, no wondering how on earth she's supposed to get him to turn back. She's got a million questions. Will SHE shrink down like this? Will he go back to normal anytime soon? What's going on?

Regardless of the absurdity if the situation, she's now got a child on her hands who is, she's sure, entirely alone. She can't just leave him out here like this...]

Do you have a place to stay until we figure this out?

[He shook his head. Normally he'd try to find an inn but....he had no coin to pay for it. Maybe an innkeep would accept a trade? Not that he had anything other then the clothes on his back though.]

[She can't just leave him ...]

I have an extra room in my apartment that you could stay in, if you'd like. [She gives him an encouraging smile.] I can make dinner for us too.

[For a moment, there was the look of a child who seemed surprised that someone was being so nice to him, and he looked like he might smile and eagerly accept before.....becoming more reserved again.]

There's no need to put yourself through so much trouble for me.

[She catches onto it, and makes a silent note for later.]

It's no trouble at all. It'll be nice to have the company.

[He still seemed to hesitate.]

Father won't be pleased if I don't get home though....and....I can't leave my brother alone.

[He was the big brother. It was his job to protect his little brother, and....Acheron needed him. Not to mention, he and his brother were best at each others backs.]

[its a more pitying look she gives him now.]

I'm... not sure there is a way home, Styxx. I haven't met anyone who knows how to go back yet.

[She's been honest with him this far.]

[He knows she's not lying. He can hear it in her mind, and yet....if his brother were here with him, he probably wouldn't want to go home. If they could live somewhere where nobody was going to hurt them, that alone would be enough reason to stay.]

I know....but my brother.....he needs me. It's my job to take care of him.

[Since nobody else would.]

[She takes it in stride as best she can. It's always harder when kids are hesitant for genuine reasons.]

I know... I'm sure your brother will be okay though, if he's anything like you. At least until we figure out how to get you home.

[If they can figure it out.]

[He shook his head.]

I'm the big brother. It's my job to protect him.

[If Styxx wasn't around to sneak Acheron food or take the fall for his brother, he worried what their father might do to him.]

I know...

[She sighs, regarding him carefully.]

Do you think that maybe time is frozen back home? Since this is a different... realm?
[It's something she's entertained thoughts of herself. Maybe she's just worried about what the state of her people might turn to if she's actually been taken.]

Is that possible?

[Was it possible to do that with time? He didn't know.]
