Following that other one... [video]

If there are any kids- both big and small- who don't want to be alone right now, I'm making hot chocolate and blanket forts in the dining room.

Also, bring a blanket.

Itsuki hasn't really met a whole lot of people around the train yet, which makes today's events perhaps even more problematic. She doesn't really have a go-to for what to do if something shakes her, short of maybe her team... but she has a feeling her team won't be much better off, so she'll put that aside. Instead she sees the announcement of a hot chocolate and blanket party - such as it would be - and decides that safety, and emotional strength, in numbers might be the better plan. And beyond that, she's hardly the only younger person that might need reassurance, so... maybe she can help? Maybe she should help?

That thought brings her to the dining car with a blanket as requested, though she looks... alert but unsettled is probably the best description. Her first order of business, though, is to find whoever looks like they're in charge. That's probably the man she saw on the video earlier, so initially she'll make a beeline for Tony. "Ah, I saw the video... both of them. I'd like to help if I can?" That would probably be more effective a request if she sounded at all sure of herself, but it's there.

Once she is busy at work helping she will find a small weasel approaching, scrabbling at her foot to get her attention.

She might also notice that when the weasel is close to her she feels a lot better. There is a feeling of hope in the air, like things are going to be alright and it will be easier to be brave because of it.

Romeo doesn't actually know this girl, but he had noticed how much she was trying to help and so he approached her in case she needed help too. There were a lot of scared people at the moment and keeping their spirits up was important. He can do that whilst he's a weasel and so he is trying to help as many people as he can.

There's a lot of cocoa to transport, but while she's waiting for the next batch, she suddenly feels something at her foot... and she feels the press of everything seem to back off some. It takes her by surprise, and when she determines the only thing to have changed is the weasel, she crouches down to look at it. "You know, I'd swear you were doing something to help. If you are... thank you. I think we all need it right now." Itsuki has no idea how to praise a weasel, so she settles for petting it briefly.

Petting is good and he nuzzles her fingers as she crouches down. He's glad that he's helping, if she is feeling better! It was why he had asked Elfnein to turn him into his weapon form, so he could be as helpful as he could be.

He rolled onto her hand and nosed at her wrist. He can stay with her a while, if she wants!
