The child began to almost sprint in her direction, but stopped a fair distance away, and had she not Inoki would've been worried about her potentially running up to strangers who wouldn't be as kind as her towards a child on their own. But at least they seemed to have some sense about them. At first the girl's words confused her, but then realisation set in. This girl was an orphan, and it sounded as if her parents had perished with the sickness. This poor child, she looked so young, too young to be all on her own. But strangely the girl seemed... cheerful? "I'm Inoki," she said with a warm smile, hoping to get a name from the child in response. They could be a little chaotic at times, particularly at younger ages, and at the very least she wanted a name in case something happened to her. "Do you have a plan of where you're going?" Perhaps she could convince the girl to stick with her for a short time, at least until Inoki was sure she had the skills to properly look after herself. But she knew there would be no forcing the child to do something she didn't want to, and she had no real idea on how to even be a parental figure, even though she was fond of kids. |
