―――― "He's being realistic," Fairylights would whisper softly, almost too softly to hear as she follows after along August. It seemed that this now was to be her home, and as she looked out over the destruction that this flood had caused, she couldn't help but feel a sense of irony that panged at her chest. Her family, aside from an uncle that didn't even know of her existance til now, was gone; and her heart felt much like that ruined village that they now stared at; that they would now have to repair. August was right. It would take work, and a lot of it; but, perhaps in some ways, it was a chance to start over. The little girl took in a breath, trying to cling to that fact as she nodded gently to herself. Yes. The past was still a bitter wound, open and bleeding for the world to see, but they now had to a chance to move forward. Together. She wouldn't be alone, and they wouldn't be alone either. "We have each other. We can do it," she asserted gently, looking over her shoulder to August. "We're smaller, but we can start cleaning up some of the smaller messes, seeing if houses are safe to enter. The bigger adults can handle the rubble?" she asked slightly, trying to pull a smile onto her maw, softening her eyes some.
