Who: Kirei and Assassin
What: Kirei adopts an unattended, traumatized child. Aww. Isn't he sweet?
Where: Lochwell, in front of the castle.
When: After this thread.
Warnings: Will update as necessary.

[In her current state, Assassin is not particularly discerning when it comes to the information other people give her. So, she sees absolutely no reason not to meet up with a stranger like this, nor any reason to doubt his desire to help her. It doesn't take her long to reach their designated meeting place. Already, she has done a good job of familiarizing herself with her new surroundings, so she has little problem finding her way around Lochwell.]

[She knows, vaguely, of priests, but not enough to recognize one by sight. It's a good thing he gave her more description than that, then. Sharp-eyed, she looks this way and that, her hair swinging around her shoulders as she does so.]

He's the sweetest guy, really

[He has no real plan in mind. He'd only been interested. And someone should take care of a lone child, shouldn't they? It's truly a shame that no one's stepped in to do so already. Kirei has his own children to care for at home, back at the "orphanage", so it's not as if he's inexperienced with caring for children, even if his idea of caring for them is less than conventional.

Kirei had kept to text on his phone, preferring it to video, but he knows to look for an unattended child in front of the castle. He'd promised games. Searching is part of the game. Why not? Like hide and seek without the hiding. Maybe the hiding can come later.

He doesn't have to search long. The crowd thins around the castle. When he arrives, it isn't hard to pick her out, if this is the girl he's searching for. If it isn't, he's suddenly less interested in any other child. He doesn't see her so much as sense her, and it's then that he knows. How could he not know?

He'd thought they were all dead, that Assassin was gone, all the selves obliterated by Rider's Noble Phantasm. Yet she had stayed with Rider, according to the girl herself. From a distance, he stands watching her as she looks this way and that. Yes, it's most likely the child he was conversing with. He still has his Command Seals, and then some, but he doesn't need to use one of them. He begins to walk toward her, then holds out his hand.]

Come here.
