It was another sunny day, and the sun hung about in between east, and west, indicating it was probably around the middle of the day, seeing the sun comes up in the east, and sets in the west.It would only make sense to assume that.A young man, maybe in his early 30's, very, early 30's was walking to town.He had a little girl at his side.The little girl was holding her fathers hand, since he had told her too.It was q requirement coming from him, since he knew how busy the town could get, especially at this time of the day.The wing blew, blowing the little girls blonde bangs into her eyes, and then another breeze quickly blew her bangs out of her eyes.She looked up at her dad, who was looking ahead, watching where he was going, she looked away.This walk was awfully silent.The two walked into town, hopefully they wouldn't be here long.After all, they were just getting stuff they needed, not this they wanted.Which was a little hard on the fact Nausicaä practically wanted to see everything, everywhere had to offer.Her dad released her hand temporarily to pick something up, and look at it.But at some point, her curiosity got the best of her, and she wandered off when her dad wasent looking.She had a child's curiosity, and thus she wandered on.That was until she turned around, then looked completely around her.She was lost.She didn't see daddy anywhere, almost like she expected he was following, but he wasent..

Walking around nearby, a large, feline man pushed through the crowd, effortlessly parting the people around him. He wore a nice green shirt with blue and gold lace trim around the collar and down the center. He had on a pair of dark blue trousers and a belt on around his waist.
On his left hip was a sword which appeared to be made out of bone and on the left side of his tail was a quiver full of crossbow bolts. Attacked to a sling on the back of his shoulder was a crossbow made out of a bronze-like metal.
It was obvious that he was not one to be messed with.

The little girl looked around.Now starting to get scared.She didn't like being alone.Especially with all these strangers, that not a single one she knew.She walked through the crowd, wandering around, looking at each face, which was a little hard when your just a little girl.After all, four year olds aren't very tall.
Her dad was looking through the crowd but didn't see his daughter anywhere.Nowhere.Just the face of strangers, anonymous strangers.Though he did notice the man that was making his way through the crowd,but went off looking for Nausicaä again.

When Dmitri's knees bumped into something some minutes later, he looked down and was surprised to find the little girl.
"Hello there, little one..." he said softly, his deep voice laced with concern, "Are you alright?"

Nausicaä was to busy looking around, but soon, after a few minutes, she looked down.Daddy wasent here...as far as she knew.She felt her forehead hit something."Ow...." she said, looking up the best she could at the man, holding her forehead.She saw a stranger.He looked a little odd, but he was a stranger, and daddy said for her not to talk to strngers, if she could help it.She backed up a step, she nodded a yes, and ran off.

He frowned but didn't give chase to her. He just sighed then went on his way.

That night, the guards went about patrolling streets and Dmitri was a volunteer guard whenever he was in town, so he was on patrol that night, but instead of fine clothes, he was wearing armor crafted out of dragon's bones.
He walked down the street, shield in hand and his weapons from earlier still equipped.

By nighttime Nausicaä had yet to find her dad.She was scared.Alone.Lost.She had found a place to sit, and honestly, was crying quietly, she wanted her daddy.

Dmitri's feline ears perked forwards and he looked around, searching for the sound, then walking towards it.
He found the same little girl from earlier and knelt down beside her.
"Hello again little one... Why are you out alone at night? It's dangerous..." he said worriedly.

The girl looked at the man.The same man as earlier.She remained silent.A typical action..coming from her.Her eyes were teary, indicating something was wrong, but she as silent.

"I promise that I'm not going to hurt you... I'm a guard..." he whispered assuringly and held out his hand to her.

The little girl looked at his hand, but scooted back rather then taking it.She knew guards were supposed to he good things, though, she didn't want him.She wanted her dad.

"Why are you out here alone? Where are your parents...?"

Nausicaä finally spoke up..."Daddy nowhere to be seen" she said looking down.

"Did you get lost today in the market?" he asked, his hand still extended out to her.

The little girl still didn't take his hand.She silently nodded.Another tear fell from her cheek."I want daddy!!!" She cried.

"Shhhshhhshhhh~" he hushed her, "Come with me and I'll take you to the guard house. Maybe someone came in looking for you earlier," he said reassuringly

The girl had a few tears, once again running down her cheeks.She silenced with words, but her tears still came.She looked at the man, then his hand again.She took the mans hand finally.

He smiled softly and gently pulled her from her spot then lifted her up. He carried her in one arm and picked up his shield with the other.
"If you'd like to walk, just tell me. I know my armor Probaby isn't comfortable."

She got gently pulled from her spot on the ground, and then picked up."O-kay" she said.For now, she didn't seem bothered by his armor, it later, she probably would.

It was about half an hour walk back to the guard house and once he was there, he set Nausicaa on a chair and looked through papers on a desk.
"No one came in to report a missing child..." he said as he came back and sat next to the girl, "Maybe your papa will come tomorrow, little one~" he said soothingly.
