Talking About The Options

[wildmelody]

So we all know that Rita's making a birthday party for Hayate, and the kid needs it. But I think she could also benefit from having some sort of guardians for her, to take care of her for a few days at a time. People who won't be missed in their worlds for too long, depending on what goes down.

I can only look after her in my own world, and even then papa'll wonder why the heck I've got a ten year old.

So I'm asking this now: volunteers. Please. We need to watch after her. I don't like how she's ten, living alone, with a sponsor god knows where. What happens if she falls or collapses?

Also, if any of the kids here could spare time to go play with her, that'd be really appreciated.

I'll volunteer! I'll figure out something with my parents, o-or maybe grandma would help out, but I'll keep an eye on her!

[wildmelody]

I figured you would, since you two are pretty close. Take care of her, okay?

[bag_has_snapped]

I will, don't worry! I'll be the best "oneechan" for her!

[Yeah, she's excited.]

[wildmelody]

I have no doubt you will! You're already the sisterly type anyhow.

[fightbymoonlight]

I'd be happy to keep an eye on her for a few days.

[wildmelody]

That would be appreciated, Yuri-san. I mean, seriously, a kid like that shouldn't be left alone.

[fightbymoonlight]

Yes, I agree. She seems very responsible for her age, but with her condition... it's best not to take any chances.

[wildmelody]

Incredibly so. I don't think I was that independent at 10. Ever.

And yeah, her condition... we should ask Rita exactly what went down since apparently it's her doing somehow that she can walk again. Albeit poorly.

[fightbymoonlight]

Hayate mentioned something about a wish, so I'm assuming magic was involved. So far she seems a lot better, but I'm still worried.

[wildmelody]

A wish? But... couldn't a wish go wrong too? Like what happens if she stops getting better?

[shiningwaters]

I can't take her with me to the other worlds, but I can stop in and check on her. I just arrived on another world, and it doesn't seem too busy here.

[wildmelody]

That would be great! You two are close right?

[shiningwaters]

Close enough, I guess.

[wildmelody]

Good then. I'd want people close to her to be able to look after her for a while.

[shiningwaters]

I shouldn't have too much trouble doing that.

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

... Hayate's birthday is coming up?

Oh, and I can have some of my family look out for Hayate-chan too! We live on the same world as her! Same city too!

[wildmelody]

Yeah, it is. Oh you're one of the new kids on the comms right?

Glad to know then! Thank god, I thought she would be alone for longer.

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

Yep! I just got here! My name's Takamachi Nanoha. It's nice to meet you!

But yeah, I'll definitely keep and eye out for her.

[wildmelody]

Nice to meet you too. I'm glad Hayate's got someone from her world that she can visit without a worldhop then.

Good idea. I'll probably be over at her place later too.

[pinkbefriendingbeam]

Yeah. It really is. Though you have to wonder what the odds are of two of us being from the same city and getting on the community.

[oceanicbutterfly]

It wouldn't be a problem for me.

[wildmelody]

Oh yeah with your home and all. Would Jiya help out or no?

[oceanicbutterfly]

He probably would. The real question is whether he'd pretend not to know what was going on.

[wildmelody]

I heard butlers are really good at feigning ignorance to preserve their masters' dignity. Maybe he'll just act normal?

[oceanicbutterfly]

He probably would. We had the entire population of Palmier in my house once. There's no way he didn't realize something was going on.
