A young lady found herself restless, aimless in destination.. but the destination wasn't what kept her moving. She was restless of spirit, and the feeling was contagious to her legs.
This place was strange to her, it felt safe but also felt dangerous.. this is where she wanted to be, and being able to see all these people in one place made her feel a sort of a safety of information, or something. However there was some dangerous people here, and knowing this made her feel scared, nervous, frightened.
With all of these thoughts in her head, it made sense that the young girl wasn't exactly paying attention to where she was going, and made even more sense when she turned a corner and threatened to run right into someone she didn't know. Someone garbed in all black. Once she did, assuming she did, she would go tumbling down backwards on her tush. She would make an irritated sound, and try to rub the hurt away.

Awoken to a bright light. The sun? Where exactly am i? Who exactly am I? The hooded figure asked himself. Looking around, he sees some arena type building to his left, and a vast green field littered with trees as far as the eye can see. His deep blue eyes gleamed as he lets out a sigh. ”Wish I knew where I was, let alone what I’m doing here. Perhaps it would be best to simply observe my sur…” While deep in thought of where to begin, he feels the light feel of a shove from behind. Did someone just….bump into him? He would turn around to observe what struck him. His blue eyes the only visible thing in his dark black robe, dark enough that he would blend in with total darkness, he gazes at the child.
The child was…cute. That was the first word that came to his mind. The red hair especially so! He wasn’t sure what to make of her. He didn’t remember seeing anyone like her, again his mind was blank, the only memories having been his initial awakening just moments ago. After a short amount of thought, he reaches out his hand, and speaks his first spoken words. ”Are you alright?” A creepy aura surrounds the man, whether or not is was evil, or just….strange would be up to the one standing before him.
TL;DR: the black robed figure wakes up to find himself being bumped into.

Are you alright? It was one of those loaded sort of questions. Sure, the worst that she was suffering physically was a hurt tushie.. but what about the emotional toll of it all? Bumping into frightening strangers could be hard on a princesses heart, after all. It made her feel a bit flustered, embarrassed, annoyed all at once.. which were complicated emotions for anyone but especially a little teen-ie.
Still, the words that came out of her weren't.. so hostile. Just a little bit. "I.." she said, staring up at the figure for a moment. Not that there was much to stare at.. this person seemed to be hiding from view.. which would make anyone a bit intrigued. Why and who were they hiding from? Arietta didn't like people hiding from her.
She had been waiting for a gentlemanly hand to be offered, and was actually surprised when it came. A small, momentarily, brief, ever so fleeting smile crept across her face. She took it and let herself be brought up. "Thanks.." she said, although there was still a sense of annoyance to her tone. "Guess we weren't watching where we were going huh?"
TL DR: Arietta asserts that she's fine, but seems a bit flustered/annoyed.

“i..” was the first thing out of her mouth. The voice he heard fit. A young girl, probably in her pre-teens, but with a tone he couldn’t quite place his finger on. As the girl accepted his kind gesture, he realized she was somewhat light, and easy to lift. A tiny struggle, perhaps her age wasn’t far from his own? Not that he would be able to tell, no mirror was around for him to get a good look at himself.
As expected, the girl responded with some gratitude. ”Thanks” It wasn’t much, but he could expect little more out of someone. But then, in a somewhat annoyed tone, she spoke again! "Guess we weren't watching where we were going huh?" The “we” part went over his head. All he knew was that the girl thank him, and apologized for the encounter. It’s all he would ask. Next would be his turn see if he could get some information. The figure spoke in a young possibly pre-teen voice. If asked for an estimate, it would be around 10-14 year of age. ”I’m grateful that you’re not hurt. If I may ask, where exactly are we?”

She smirked. Just a little.. "Wow.. this is sort of an odd place to get lost in, though you look like you fit here." she said. Her hand was on her hip and she was giving him a coy, slightly taunting sort of look. Still.
"This place is called Tosatsu, but it's a place full of people trying to get stuff. Everyone wants something here." she said, which as least how she figured it. This is was a place of lust and indulgence, or whatever.
He had put her in a good mood, so she was laying on the charm.. letting her eyes soften as she looked at him with a questioning sort of adorable look. "What is it that you want, Mister?" In the end, she was looking for information too, what was social communication if not people sharing information.. and seeking it though?

Odd place to get lost in? He had just woken up moments ago, with only knowledge of his native language, and to an extent, gentlemanly understandings? If you can call them that. He looked at her, and if anything could be seen other than his eyes under the hood, you would probably see blush marks. How did he fit in here? Of course, he would need to see what the place was about before he couls know for sure. For the time being, he would have to take this cute girl at her word.
"This place is called Tosatsu, but it's a place full of people trying to get stuff. Everyone wants something here." the girl explained to him, probably summed up from her experiences in this place. It would explain the “arena” that he thinks he saw. The questions began to build up in his mind. Was there a reason he was brought here? Is the fact he remembers nothing, own name included, related to his being here? Then the girl spoke again and his eyes grew wide. "What is it that you want, Mister?" ”That I…want?” He started to glow in a dark aura as he sunk to the ground on his hands and knees. This would only last about 10 seconds, but would feel like eternity to the boy.
He would arise and look the girl in the eyes. ”I…don’t know, to be completely frank, I don’t even know who I am, let alone what I want. In a way, you could say. I want my memories, or at least an understanding as to what brought me here.” He spoke more than even he anticipated. Even stranger, he spoke as though the intense pain he just experienced never happened. Could it be, he forgot it even occurred?

To Arietta's credit, although there was a sort of.. 'what the fuck..' reaction to the way he suddenly sunk down, there was some genuine concern written on her face too. The look of someone who is wanting to spring into the action and help someone, but completely unsure of what to do.. and eventually it just passed. O... kay.
She listened to him speak, taking in each of his words.. and to be honest, a big part of her distrustful little heart didn't believe him. Worry was sure that he was lying to her, keeping himself mysterious, so he could surprise her and hurt her when she least suspected it..
But the way he reacted, and his other strange behavior.. it left her just.. a little open to the idea he could be genuinely not well. "Well.. that's not good. I mean, for you and all. I guess I would want those back if I lost them too.." she rubbed the back of her head, unsure of what to say. "I don't recognize you or anything though.." and then her eyes grew wide with a sudden realization.. a naughty sort of realization. If this was true.. could she.. take advantage of it? "But.. that doesn't mean I can't know you now! You don't know how you are, but I do! You're Princess Ari's friend!" she said, cheering a bit.
It never hurt to get a few people on her side.. hehe..

”You don't know who you are, but I do! You're Princess Ari's friend!" Ok, even he wasn’t dumb enough to believe this, especially after she said she didn’t recognize him. But right now, he was a blank book. No right to question, no intention to disbelieve anything. To him, it could either be she suddenly remembered him, or she is just trying to build his trust so she could use him. Fact was, he didn’t care either way.
Suddenly the words sunk in and his eyes grew in a comical way ”W-wait a second! PRINCESS Ari?” The idea he could be in the presence of a princess was beyond him. He couldn’t bring himself to believe her words. But fact remained, he still couldn’t do anything about it. He had no memory of anything, who was he to question. As far as he knew, she really was a princess, and the doubt in the back of his mind would have to be put aside for the moment. He did what he thought he should do instinctually. He bowed before her, and bowed his head downwards.
”Are you sure I am worthy…of being called a friend? I don’t even know my own name, are you sure I can even be trusted?” Wait a second? He was doubting HIMSELF now? Surly she had to have some doubt to the story he just gave, and it was only natural to doubt someone who calls themselves a “princess” after all.

Arietta nodded. "Yes, princess!" she said, with one finger out. Then however she clapped, happy he remembered the importance of the title. She didn't have to explain that. Good. The explaining things would get real annoying. There was a smile on your face. "You're in the presence of a real life princess, and she'll make you her new special friend too!"
She put her hands on her hips for a moment, beaming down at his bowing. "You don't know anything about you, so you can be whoever you want to be! If you want to be trustworthy, you can do so! If you want to be my friend, you can!" she said, smirking just a little. "All you have to do is never betray me.. that's not so hard, right?" she said, her voice sounding a bit fragile.. most of which was an act, although it had come rather naturally.

The truth was, he didn’t remember what a princess was, he just knew was all. Some things are just ingrained into your nature after so much time has passed. Knowing what royalty was possibly meant he served some royalty before losing his memory. But if that were the case, why would he be here? And without any clue as to what was going on with himself. He lifted his head after the princess in question finished speaking. The tone she spoke in, was to an extent, a royal tone, perhaps it explained why he didn’t even notice when she talked about herself in the plural sense rather than in the first person.
"You don't know anything about you, so you can be whoever you want to be!” Hmm, whoever he wants to be? That, in a sense, made sense to him. But that wasn’t all she had to say. ” If you want to be trustworthy, you can do so! If you want to be my friend, you can!" she said, smirking just a little. " something about that statement that should have made sense didn’t. “I’m sorry” He said in a saddened tone. “I don’t feel “friend” is the right thing to address me as.” He bowed his head downwards once more. The tone he used was a saddened tone, like there was something in his past that would not allow him to associate himself with royalty in an equal sense one could say.
The dark aura started to rise once more, no sense of pain could be felt this time. ”I may not even be cut out to serve you, let alone be acknowledged by someone such as you. Perhaps if you were a regular person….” he stopped mid-sentence, and stood up and turned around ”…..do…you feel that?” he says as he starts running in the direction opposite of the princess he was just speaking to. After about a quarter mile of jogging, they stopped at the entrance of a forest. ”What is….” he spoke somewhat terrified. Something was spooking the amnesiac, and whatever it was, couldn’t be good.

Arietta for a moment, thought.. you know what, nah. Not following.
But.
But.
Curiosity. She had laid the first steps to a naughty and most devious plan to get well.. what most people would call a servant. Not a friend. So his attitude was actually helpful, but she still had to give him a reason to feel.. compelled to do so. Reasons were hard though, when he didn't know what he wanted.
She didn't have the patience to find out, she thought.. but for now she could follow. She was a very magical being, and could sense any sort of magical auras or demonic powers at work. If they were around, she would know. Still, either way she said. "Be strong." It was equal parts commanding and nurturing, the sort of words that well.. a kind royalty might say. "Explain yourself." This time it was a bit more short, she had just followed him jogging along a quarter mile. He was larger then her, with a larger stride.. and she was a bit more of an inside princess. So she was also annoyed at him for just running off, especially the way he seemed to assume that she would follow.
(Do let me know if it's something she should be able to sense given the context of her character. ^^)

In all honesty, he did not expect the girl to follow, but when he heard her voice, it made him happy,. It meant that she was compassionate in some way, but it wasn’t the time to even think about what happened. He couldn’t bring himself to move. Frozen in place he turned around and walked the way he came passing right by the girl before stopping ”Coward… I’m nothing but a coward, aren’t I?” What brought this on was unknown. The dark aura started faring even greater, before the boy would just…pass out on the spot, his mind a blank. If the princess who had followed would try and take the hood off, she would find it somewhat difficult, as whatever would surround him would make doing so impossible.
(short post, ideas kinda stopped there, hope we can still keep things moving even after this…sorry.)

(It's fine. Don't worry!)
She started down at him. Her confusion emotions masked by a very straight, nearly emotionless expression on her face. There was however a few signs that here brain was working, mostly in that she had balled her hand into a fist. She kept on staring at him..
And then he passed out. Ugh. Leaving her here like this, made her just want to leave.. but a part of her cold heart still felt annoyed at the idea. Ugh, leaving someone just passed out on the floor probably wasn't the right thing to do, but her servant-to-be was already frustrating her to death. She needed to help him reach a more.. stable place.
She bent down and started to work a light healing magic on him, sighing a bit. She did attempt to get a look at him, partly out of curiosity and partly out of trying to make sure he didn't have any more noticeable injuries.. but found the resistance. "Heh. Someone wants badly to keep you hidden. Maybe yourself.. what are you running from?" she mused outloud, talking to herself as much as she was directing thoughts in his direction. She kept musing at him, not expecting him to even be conscious enough to hear. In fact, she was counting on it a bit... letting herself be a bit more honest due to it. "I'm afraid too.. I know the dangers out to get me, so very real. That's why I'm hoping that.. perhaps.. you can find strength not in defending yourself, but in defending me. Keeping me safe. I of course.. will help as well.. within reason." she said.
She sighed. She felt some signs of rain and did NOT want to get caught out in that. Noticing some shade, she started to summon her helpful golem. The least she could do was move him to a slightly less "about to be rained upon" location. Find some semblance of shelter nearby.

As he awoke, the skies darkened more so, and rain began to fall. No thunder, just a light rain to start. It would start to pick up over time, but the winds were not strong, and there was no sign that they would be trapped in a thunderstorm either. His eyes would open, and he would see the little princess before him. Looking around, he realized he was not where he was moments ago. Instead of standing straight up, he laid his head on the ground and sighed. ”Awake 10 minutes, and already I am causing people problems.” He says in a somewhat depressed tone of voice. The rain slowly picking up, he stands himself up, and brushes off the dirt and grass around him. Thank you. We should probably get inside before this starts picking up don’t you think?”
He offers to shield Arietta from the rain by gesturing her to come closer. If she would accept, he would promptly run at the proper pace to get them where they need to go, of course he would need to count on the princess to guide him, or else they may wind up even more lost than before.

"Heh." Arietta smirked a bit at his words, and gave him a pat on the head. "Just make it up to your princess." she said, actually flashing him a smile. To be honest, she really was happy.. his attitude worked for her well enough.
She stood and sighed a bit, as he spoke the rest of his words. Still.. she was putting a bit too much effort into all of this, and was starting to feel drained. "Back to where we were then?" she asked, although it was quite a while. "I actually thought I saw some nice little places we could get something to eat nearby. Yeah. I think you could use something to eat. Not that I could tell, I guess. Mr. Shadows." she said. She teased him a little bit about it.
She sighed. She honestly didn't know what she was even doing.
