[She nodded. Playing sounded good right now, especially if they had family in this weird place. And tall people wasn't anything good. It always meant official business. Maybe she'd fallen asleep when her mama and papa took her with them to see their friends?]

Mama always says I should keep out of e'rrybody's way when we have tall people over.

[wwehs]

[Bracing himself against the wall, he stands up and tries to gather up his robe as well as he can. To be honest, Eridan has no idea why he's still holding onto it, but he feels like he should.]

Yeah! An' there' tons a tall people 'round. I'll bet'cha there's someplace we should be w---right now!

[And then he looks around, trying to see... where they should go.......]

Um... just um, tryin' a find where we need t'be.....

[nomorals]

[She clambers to her feet and dusts herself off, still keeping her robes around her. They were a little bigger than what she was used to but they smelled familiar...maybe mama had put it over her while she was asleep.]

I don' wanna trouble anyone by askin'. What should we do, Eri?

[wwehs]

[Eridan scratches his chin a bit, trying to figure out what to do. Maybe moving was a good idea, or maybe it wasn't... who really knew?]

I think we should look around a lil'. If we can't find anythin', then um, um... We'll come back here! S'not that hard to find an' all. Plus we wouldn't be gettin' in trouble or nothin' if we only went a lil' ways, right?

[nomorals]

[She was starting to calm down a bit more now that she had a friend. Marcie looked up at all the taller people and shrunk back a bit, raising her hand to bite her knuckle.]

O-okay.

[wwehs]

C'mon, let's go! They might be in one of those rooms down the ways or somethin', but there's only one way to find out.

[Still sticking a bit close to the wall, Eridan starts moving down the hallway, staggering a bit until he made sure Marceline was following behind. Right about now he was just focusing on finding their parents, even if he only knew what his parental units looked like.]

[nomorals]

[Marcie nodded and followed, sticking close to him, because well for one he seems to know what he's doing. One of her arms goes to clutch the empty space at her side before she remembers that her favourite teddy bear isn't there. After a few more steps she catches up to him and slips her hand into his.]

[wwehs]

[Thankfully this is before everything gets awkward, and Eridan doesn't think too much at all to when she grabs his hand. It's just easier for them to keep up, he thinks to himself. As the two went down the hall, the first open room came up, and Eridan started to pick up his pacing.]

There's a room! Let's try it!

[nomorals]

[It's definitely easier for them to keep up, since she's a bit smaller than him. She gives a small gasp.]

This is a castle right? What if there's like monsters n' stuff?

[wwehs]

Pshhh. It's okay! I'm tough and I'll scare 'em away. An' if they think they're tougher than me, then...

[He pulls his wand from the bundle of robes, where it was safely hidden. Now, he actually doesn't know any spells or anything at this age, but it's his! And he can bluff his way pretty well.]

I got this! An' nothin'll get us when I got this thing out! Papa's scared off tons of stuff with his wand, and I got a feelin' this is my wand!!

[nomorals]

[She gasps a little. Her mama told her never to touch her and her papa's wands because she'd get into trouble. She gives a tug on his sleeve, her eyes wide.]

You won't get into twouble will you? Mama said kids can't do magic yet.

[wwehs]

[He grins to that, swishing his wand around a tiny bit before tucking it safely back into the robe.]

S'okay! I'll just scare 'em off, I won't use magic yet, nope nope.

[nomorals]

[Marcie nods as though in approval, though she doesn't really know what she's nodding about. She only knows that he's going to protect her, and for some reason she feels really comforted by that.]

Okay. On the count of three?
