Voice; Request

[Ran's not sure she's comfortable with being seen for this one, as it's a subject that's touching a little deeply for her, so for the moment she just sticks to voice.]

[She pulls in a soft breath.]

I . . . need some help.

I know a lot of you have met Conan-kun. He's been here for a while. There's another girl here from my world now too -- Ai-chan. If you haven't met them yet, I hope you get to soon.

What I need help with . . . They're both seven. They're both smart -- really smart -- for their age, but. They're both seven. And not fighters. The train doesn't seem to discriminate about who it takes, and yet the missions that it sends us on are dangerous.

[A pause, wrestling with her words.]

I need them both to be safe. This past time Sera-chan and I were able to be with them. But what happens if we're not able to do that? How does their safety get guaranteed?

I need a better guarantee. Please help me figure out how to keep two kids safe so I can get them back home? I'm teaching both some simpler self-defense, and that will help, but . . . I already know it's not enough.

I think it varies a lot. As I said, Conan-kun and Ai-chan are pretty mature for their age in some ways, but still, they wouldn't necessarily be able to live on their own and take care of themselves, and our society wouldn't allow it.

People come from a lot of different worlds here, though, so I can only speak to mine in the end.

Of course, now I'd have to check how much of that is human biology and how much of that are human cultures.

[S'reee sounds amused -- this doesn't actually bother her, and she is learning something.]

But I can keep a listen for them.
