[Anise was wandering around, on Tokunaga because she doesn't feel like getting her boots too wet today, when she spotted the lost little girl. Another new feather? A tiny kid, too!]
[It couldn't be. It couldn't possibly be--! But the voice...and the name of the doll. Dist's hands shake as his journal falls onto his desk after he hears the voice. It really was Nephry, wasn't it? Those people actually tampered with her age to this point...
Swallowing the lump in his throat, Dist speaks softly. What does he even say?!]
Neph-- ...Little one, are you all right? Can you hear me?
[Oops, didn't mean to scare her, but he has to make sure it's really her, and get to her as soon as possible. It was getting colder now...she'd freeze if she stayed out there for too long, unprotected.]
D-Do you see a small book nearby? I'm using it to talk to you, little one.
[Katara's 'little girl dressed in clothing far inappropriate to the weather' sense is tingling. Okay, maybe not, but when she sees the child in a New Feather dress standing around looking cold, she does immediately approach to smile kindly at her.]
[ Out and about again, he changes course when he hears and spots the girl. He approaches, though he's careful not to get too close lest she become scared. He bends down a little for a good measure. ]
It is, isn't it? Here. [ He shrugs off the white jacket he'd worn outside ( -- blasted wings -- ), and offers it to her. ] Put this on. It's a little big, but it should keep you warm.

Ah! ...Miss Milly? Was that you? [she's far too old to believe that dolls can talk...isn't she?]

[she will try to get it around her shoulders using just the arm holding her doll. ...It's tough.]
