[Yes, it definitely was just a child. Alone. In that snow hell. Rydia sighed trying to smile back and stepped closer looking around: the kitchen seemed in pieces and she doubt there was anything useful around... maybe he was looking for food? He? She? Something else? She'd wait to see how the kid'd adress itself.]

Looking for something to eat? That's your lucky day, kid, I have a full belly and an extra loaf of bread. Do you want it?

[To be honest food was scarce and she was trying to save the little she had left but... Rydia was a mother (maybe her daughter was an almost emotionless alien born from a machine but she didn't care) and if Cuore was there... well, the summoner could only hope for her to meet good people.]

Here! Sorry, it's just wrapped in an old curtain, but it's still edible.

[Rydia offered him all she had and tilted her head, still smiling.]

Anyway, it's nice to have someone around. My name is Rydia, what's yours?
