[ off they go! ]

Do you travel much to fairs and festivals back in your world?

[sootprints]

No...

I went to a circus once, but I didn't see any of the attractions.

[ I only went there to steal from their garbage... ]

[turbulency]

[ looking for ice cream...

glancing at her ]

Why are you stealing from garbage?

[sootprints]

Ah...

I needed a piece of cloth for something.

[ and stealing from locals is riskier than stealing from a visiting troupe... ]

......

I don't usually steal things.

[turbulency]

[ He purses his lips. ]

Is this after you left your home?

[sootprints]

... Yes. I was alone in a strange town, and I didn't have time to come up with a better plan.

[turbulency]

How long were you alone like that...?

[sootprints]

Not long. In retrospect, it was a series of very impulsive, reckless choices.

[turbulency]

Yeah? Made on purpose or accident?

[sootprints]

On purpose, I suppose. I had a goal and I simply pursued it without thinking of the risks.

... I wish I could apologize to my grandmother, though. I left her a letter when I ran away, but I'm sure she's been worried.

[turbulency]

You haven't seen or contacted her since you left?

[sootprints]

No... I'm afraid it just isn't possible from the manor.
