Kurumi sort of just waved her hand at Milton. Yeah yeah...she would get him his cookies. Kurumi didn't break promises - not on purpose at least. And, of course, breaking a promise that involved cookies was worse than breaking a dozen school rules!
So yes, Milton, you were getting your cookies
eventually.
SPOILER!!: omg we want to keep her FOREVER! <33 Elodie <33

Her hair a mess, even still. Her blanket stroking her nose. And now her thumb in her mouth. She had outgrown the whole thumb in the mouth thing when she was five. It had reappeared after her mother's death, but only for a few months.
Braison said it only happened when she felt like a baby. When she felt helpless.
Which was right.
That was how she felt right now. Helpless.
She'd followed closely behind Kurumi, purely so she had someone that knew what they were doing around her. And she didn't want to leave her side, because she felt safe there. With Lady Kurumi.
Quiet. Quiet. Quiet.
She stayed that way until Kurumi's hand slipped back into hers, and it seemed that awoke her because she gave the hand a squeeze and leant her head back into the arm of her saviour. "Where are we going? Why are we leaving her? I don't like this, Kurumi. I want to go home. Can you take me home, now? I'm sure they won't mind. Please, Kurumi?" Were the words that divulged their quick walk to a carriage, and the final plea came as Elodie climbed into it, watching over her shoulder, a pout set on her face.
She guessed that Kurumi was going to get into the carriage with them, and therefore budged up so there was room beside her....but then her older friend was leaving them. "Ku...Ku...Miss?! Miss! Don't...I..." WIBBLE. She was being abandoned, and she couldn't just handle that. No, no, she couldn't. Hanging out the carriage door, Els held her empty hand out (aka, the one that had been holding the prefect's) and pouted. "They won't die, I promise! Come with uuuussss." Please, please, pretty please?
Blanket and nose snuggle.
The panic that had someone manage to leave Kurumi's face was back when she heard little Elodie speaking, no, BEGGING her to stay with her and...wait...was she sucking her thumb? Part of Kurumi felt as though this girl needed some tough love, the sort of love her mother had given her and she was now able to recognize....too late unfortunately.
However, Kurumi really was her father's daughter and that meant that her heart and everything melted at the tears and innocence of a young girl who was just feeling scared. "
Shhh shhh shhh," Kurumi coed softly as she made eye contact with the second year. "
You can still ride with me if you want. I'll be getting in a different carriage once I make sure everyone is on one."
So, the Gryffindor's hand was out again for her to take if she wanted. Poor thing had been through a lot today and Kurumi was going to cut her some slack.
