[For once, Akira doesn't sound angry, irritated, or aggressive. His tone is fairly neutral, but anyone with any ability to read into expressions and words can see that's because he's desperately fighting down worry and unease.]
Any of you seen a little girl? 13 years old. She's got brown hair in pigtails.
[There's a... fairly lengthy pause here.]
Probably... coughing a lot and having trouble walking on her own. Real sickly looking.
[Another pause.]
...Just. Let me know if you see her, alright? It's important.

I... don't think I've seen anyone like that. But I haven't been here very long.

/saw nothing
I wanna see you, first.
[Because he's not going to accept help from someone who might hurt her.]
no subject
Okay... On here or in person?
no subject
Just swing by a little outside the city.
no subject
I can go now?
[video --> action]
[His side of the feed clicks off.]
[Action]
Annie looks around for him. He'd looked quite distinctive on the network, after all..]
[Perma-action]
When she comes into view, he looks at her, but doesn't say anything. Instead, his eyes fade out into blankness, glowing as he fixes her with a stare that almost seems to go through her.
He is, as he does, scanning her mind -- her thoughts. What kind of person she is and what she's thinking... that's the most important thing for him to know.]
[Perma-action] - sorry for repost!
She wants to help him, because he knows what it's like to be the sick, frightened girl on your own in a strange place. Like his sister. Wasn't that her a few days ago? Annie doesn't have a bad bone in her body, so he frowns in his direction before speaking quietly.]
Are you okay?
S'alright! XD It happens.
Yeah, I'm fine.
[Still, he's not used to asking for help from strangers.]
...I'd appreciate it... if you could help me find Kaori. I ain't 'xactly the best when it comes to pinnin' down people.
no subject
It's okay. This place is...
[She trails off before saying anything rude.]
Do you know if she's definitely here, or...?
no subject
Even if she ain't here, if she does come, 'least everyone knows her now.
no subject
Sorry.
If she does turn up, I'm sure someone will look after her until you can get to her. They did for me.
[She looks around]
If she is here, do you know where she might have headed?
no subject
...Hope so.
[He shakes his head a little.]
Not that I can think of. She woulda tried to head for town, but I didn't see her anywhere there.
no subject
Where have you looked. Would she have been able to get far?
no subject
[Okay, that mask is starting to slip. Akira is worried, very worried, and it's showing.]

[The hesitation makes it clear. "That it's not curable."]
...Anyway. She ain't in any condition to push herself.
no subject
[A pause, and then:]
You find food and shelter alright?
no subject
[There's the subtext of "I don't know why you care" there, but he's at least trying to be polite.]
no subject
[She's not sure why she cares, either, so questioning it isn't much use.]
Video
Do you know - why she's sickly, precisely? Perhaps I can help, if I find her.

...Thanks.
