[ After having gotten over the shock of... Well, everything, and after having herself a good cry, Lirael examined the journal she'd found next to her neatly folded clothes.

It seemed like it had to be magical, and yet she could feel nothing from it. Was it dangerous? It didn't seem like it. Just strange.

Hence, after having read a few entries and come to the conclusion that this had to be some kind of communication device, she tentatively wrote: ]

Is this Ancelstierre?

I'm sure it thinks the same about you.

[He's one of those people that doesn't consider how his words sound once he's said them. Right now he's mostly focused on following the path, so his embarrassment can wait until later.

And sadly, the bird doesn't stay for long. It trembles in her hands, turning into the origami bird from before. Tsuzuki comes soon after, pushing the branches away with some difficulty. He closes the journal, since they won't need it anymore.]

...Are you Lirael, by any chance?

[ She doesn't say anything to that comment, because... no. She's not pretty, at least not in her own eyes. Many others would probably think she is, slender, tall and pale with startlingly black hair. But no, all she sees is that she doesn't look like a Clayr.

It's a little sad to see the bird turn into paper again, but she's distracted from it by Tsuzuki's arrival. ]

I... yes. Tsuzuki?

Yes, that's me. I'm so relieved that I found you!

[Tuzuki struggles with his own self worth at times, so he would understand her difficulties. That is, if they ever talk about it. As it is, he only sees a pretty girl with a cautious look in her eyes.

He offers his hand, though he's' unsure if she knows how to greet him in that way.]

Come on, I can show you the quickest way out of here.

[ Well, she does take his hand and gives it a sort of squeeze before letting go and getting to her feet, awkwardly holding the journal and the sundress. ]

Thank you very much.

Don't mention it.

[Let's walk home. :D!]

You're in luck. I don't think Moro's around in this part of the woods much.

[ Yay! ]

Moro?

The wolf goddess that lives in the woods. She gets... cranky sometimes.

There is a wolf goddess in the woods?

[ Pardon her for just repeating things but... really? ]

She's nice, though. Really!

[Because now he feels bad for practically gossiping.]

But yes. She came here, just like you. We all have.

Something here has the power to abduct very powerful beings, then?

Yes. And they're preventing us from contacting gods, too. We still haven't found out how.

You can usually do that?

....No! I meant uh-- In general.

[He knows it's obvious, so he changes the subject.]

You don't have gods where you come from?

[ ... yeah, pretty obvious. ]

We have the Charter.

What's that?

It's... a sort of magic.

I don't have anything called that at home. What kind of magic do they do?

Almost anything, if you know what marks to use.

....Are marks like spells? Or wards?

Yes, sort of. Different marks mean different things, and sometimes you have to combine them.

[ She holds her hair away from her face and points at the mark on her forehead. ]

That's a Charter Mark.

[His eyes widens. Tsuzuki is familiar with writing spells down, but he would never write them on a person. That's dangerous territory.]

What does it do?

It connects me to the Charter.

....

Does it hurt?

No, I don't really think about it most of the time. And feeling the Charter, when you do... it feels good, most of the time.
