Kairi searched through the photos, attempting to feign nonchalance but her guardian knew she had become frantic at that point. "Mother and father... Their pictures aren't here..." Kairi murmured. They didn't have an image of the King and Queen to post.
"Your Maj- I don't think..." Aqua trailed off. She didn't know how to tell Kairi that the ship carrying the King and Queen blew up, when the planet did and they didn't make it out of orbit in time. Aqua had been talking to them right when it happened.

"Momma! I'm bored, can't we go home?" "I know baby I know, I just want to check something really quick. Be a good boy for five minutes and I'll let you pick the sandwiches for tonight." "Yay samiches!" Marie coudln't help but smile as she watched her son start wandering around the courtyard, grinning happily. She wandered over to the board, looking over them carefully each in turn. Part of her knew that it was extremely unlikely that his picture would be there. Neither Marie or her kids had put something up to try and find him because they knew it would only cause trouble, she and Shy had argued about it several times. There definately didn't seem to be many other Pupa coming to this area, but the risk of them seeing a message to him was too great. Her eyes grew sad, blinking back tears as she remembered the chaos of the move. Had he even made it out? "Why is your hair blue? It looks weird." The sudden sound of Teenee's voice snapped her out of her thoughts, her head flicking around to see him pointing at a young woman with a girl next to her. "Teenee! Don't point at peopole like that!" She said, instantly walking over and pulling him back gently, her eyes looking over at the two apologetically. "I'm so sorry Miss, he doesn't mean anything by it."

Aqua glanced away from Kairi when someone remaeked about her blue hair. She glanced down at the young boy. "I... Um... It's okay." She said uncertainly. She glanced back at Kairi.
Kairi hurried over to Aqua's side. She shyly glanced up at the two new strangers

Marie smiled warmly, noticing the woman's discomfort but not saying anything. All of the Pupa had got strange reactions from the other species. Her expression warmed even more at seeing the girl, before realising they were probably here for the same reason she was. "Had any luck yet?" She asked gently, sincere sympathy in her eyes as she indicated the board.

Aqua hadn't been bothered by the boy. She was just wary of strangers around Kairi. The young princess was the one who was concerned about. "Her... Parents didn't make it." Aqua said.
Kairi bit her lip. She knew it was a bad habit but she could not really stop herself from doing it.

Marie's face fell slightly at the words, looking sympathetically at the girl. "I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know if my brother made it here either, but I'm sure we'll both find out soon." She said, giving her a friendly smile. "Momma, I thought we weren't supposed to mention Uncle Mee-" "That's enough baby." She said, not harshly but a bit too quick, her eyes briefly flicking around the courtyard before looking at the two again, her face back to it's usual warm expression. "So, where are you from?"

"Albea." Aqua said. "We... Made it out together." Aqua wasn't about to give out Kairi's noble heritage. It was still dangerous for the young princess. She had taken it on herself to raise Kairi the best she could, keeping her safe at any cost. "And what about you?"
Kairi ducked her head, her vain attempt to hold back tears. She leaned against Aqua's side.

"I've never heard of Albea before. We're from Persero, me and my kids managed to make it out together. My eldest is in the upper sector due to her age, but the other five live with me." She responded, before adding "My name is Marie by the way, and this is my youngest son Teenee." Teenee had been watching Kairi during this time, noticing her crying as she tried to hide it. He frowned a bit before wandering off a bit. Towards the edge of the courtyard was a small patch of grass with a few flowers. He picked one and walked back, holding it out to her. "Momma says you shouldn't make girls sad, that's bad." Marie couldn't help smiling when he said, Teenee was a bit of a rascal but he could be a sweetie when he wanted tol.

"My name is Aqua and this is Kairi." Aqua said politely. "I'm her... Guardian." It was strange for Aqua to take responsibility of the young princess. However, she was the only one Kairi trusted and she was the only one she trusted to care for the young girl.
Kairi blinked in surprise but took the flower from Teenee. She looked down at the bud in her hand. It was a flower foreign to her but still very beautiful. "T-Thank you." She said softly.

“Pleasure to meet you both.” Marie responded, smiling again as she held out a hand to Aqua. "Looks like she's in good hands."
Teenee smiled a little bit at Kairi's thank you, then suddenly got a blush on his face and disappeared behind Marie. His foster mother couldn’t help laughing at his reaction. “Looks like someone’s got a little crush.” She said, giving Kairi a friendly wink while Teenee protested, burying his face in her leg.

"To be honest, I don't know what I'm doing. I've never had kids." Aqua said softly.
Aqua blinked in owlish confusion. She didn't know why Teenee would disappear the moment he gave her the flower. She shyly looked down at the flower and held it close.

“It’s difficult at first.” Marie responded reassuringly. “Especially if they aren’t biologically yours. I re-member when I fostered my first girl Shy, I was a nervous wreck. If it wasn’t for my brother support-ing me I don’t think I would have got through it. But it gets better, and it’s always worth it to see them happy and safe.” She smiled at Aqua, understanding the woman’s concern.
Teenee was still hiding behind Marie’s leg but he kept watching Kairi, finally piping up “Do you leave nearby?”

Aqua smiled uncertainly. "I just... have a lot riding on my ability to raise her right." Aqua said. She glanced down at the little girl. Aqua was very uncertain how to raise a princess into a future queen of an entire species.
"We live on the upper level. Aqua says it's important to meet everyone though." Kairi said. She twirled the flowers between her fingers.

“You’ll be fine, nobody’s perfect after all.” Marie responded, noticing that there was something Aqua didn’t seem to be saying about this. She wasn't entirely sure why but she felt that there was something else going on here. "And don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it."
“The upper-level? We’re not allowed up there, only grown-ups.” Teenee said, looking at her with his head on one side.

Aqua blinked in surprise before she found herself smiling. "Thank you. I might have to take you up on that offer some time." she said. "I really appreciate any help you could give me."
Kairi frowned and looked up at Aqua. She then looked down at her feet. She knew she wasn't supposed to talk about her heritage because of what Aqua said so she kept her mouth shut about that. "My parents got me special access..." she said softly. "Before they passed away."
