[in front of a certain oversized metallic carriage stands a Haku, peering up at it cautiously. She looks a little older than your regular Haku, and she's wearing a heavy dress, made from a thick fabric; but despite all of that, the heat doesn't seem to get to her. Not knowing what a bus is, she's more interested in what's in front of her, in the signs of life that she sees through the so-called carriage's windows, and wonders if it would be awfully rude to knock upon the door]

[placing her basket of apples against the ground, Haku wipes her brow with the back of her wrist, and manages to take an entire step forwards, before hearing someone approach her from behind]

Ah. Do excuse me. [she speaks without looking around, but moves to the side, bowing down low. Haku assumes that whoever it is wants to get back into the carriage. Perhaps its driver, then, but Haku can't begin to fathom how many horses would be required to pull such a vehicle]

[turns to look at him and—wait, what. Royalty, all the way out here?]

I... I... [screw it. She'll bow even lower, even if her loyalties are torn]

Ah?

-- oh. It's a Haku.

[peers up] ... you've recovered well, sire.

Better than you think, I'll bet! Anyway, stand up; even if you're a Haku, that's no need to worry about something like that.

Ah... you know my name?

Hahah! Well, of course. You're more well known than you think.

Perhaps you're mistaking me for somebody else, sire...

Of course not! --well, kind of. I'm right, after all, aren't I?

I can't deny that Haku is my name, but even still...

Anyway, don't worry about it. It's the first time we've met, but I know roughly who you are.

Oh. Yet another case of mistaken identity, then? My apologise, si... sire?

--ah, if you heard about that then it's easier this way. That's about right, so don't worry with the sire thing! Just Kaito!

Kaito. [still sounds somewhat awkward saying it, though] Then this... dressing room isn't your Kingdom, I take it?

--hahahahaha, not a chance! I reckon if we ever found the leader of this place about twenty people would beat him up looking for a way out.

Really? At a first glance, this place doesn't seem as bad as it could be...

... well, you're not wrong there. But there's also a some people here who don't feel quite right, or they've still got things to do.

Ah. How curious.

... then there truly is no way to get back?

Not that we know of yet, at least. It's probably better to put it out of mind, for now.

Would that it were so simple, si—Kaito. [sighs] I was supposed to be baking a pie for dinner.

... well, it's hardly your fault. So my point kind of still stands.

There's not much for it but to look for those I'm familiar with, is there?

Right! If you're lucky, someone'll be here you actively know rather than vaguely know. Still, if not, all you have to do is explain and I reckon most people would help out.

That's rather kind of everyone. I'm sure I'll see my family again in no time... I'd hope, at least.

... well, keep your chin up.

I'll do my best.
