Y'know, so she won't try to trick us with her ancient magic forest mind tricks or whatever!">"I-I... guess I agree with the first half of that... at least...">"Good enough! C'mon, do your thing!"Your partner gets down to her knees and crawls to the screeching girl, whose voice has already gone hoarse from the incessant yelling, which has now turned into small, quiet sobs. Anis curls up into a ball and hug her knees tightly, but her eyes still stay alert and vigilant, glaring directly at your partner.
>"....aahhh...*sob* haahhh... Eheh...*sob* hahh...">"Shhhhh... It's okay, it's okay. You're safe here, I promise I won't hurt you, Storkie won't hurt you either, right?">"For now...">"Shush! I-I know that you're afraid, and that we're not exactly the people you want to see, but... We do REALLY need your help right now.">"*sob*Ahh...Wh-*sob*Why- Ah... Heheh... Ahhhhhh...">"Shshshhhhh... I know I know, Storkie is scary and looks like she might rip your head off at any moment, trust me, I would know.">"Hey! She tried to kill-">"HOWEVER, you gotta believe me on this. Whatever those other people on the street were gonna do to you, it was gonna be ten times worse. I saw your clothes, they weren't like that the last we saw you. They hurt you, didn't they?">"...uhhh...*sob* M-Mhm... Heh..."Anis meekly nods her head and looks to the side, like she's embarassed.
>"Good, good. Can you tell me what those people that hurt you looked like?">"...I-I d-*sob*don't... I don't...">"You don't remember? That's fine. Can you remember if they were wearing, I don't know, robes, by chance?">"N-N-No... I-It...Eheheh... *sob* It was... A s-suit... a-and t-t-tie..."Your partner huddles up closer to Anis, who has no almost completely dropped her guard.
>"I see, I see. Don't worry, they can't hurt you anymore. I'm here for you, okay?">"O-O-*sob*Ok-Okay...">"I may not look like it, but I'm pretty strong! I promise you, if anyone tries to hurt you again, I'll be there to protect you- Ah!"Anis jumps up from her spot and hugs your partner tightly, rubbing her gross snot-covered face all over her hair. Ew, you're glad you didn't have to do the goody-two-shoes talk...
>"Waaaaahhhh!! I-I w-*sob*was s-s-supposed to b-be-*sob* ...I-I... Ehehe... I-I had th-the... WAAAHHHHH!!"Your partner pats her back and shushes her for a couple of minutes, how very motherly of her. Not that you would trust that dumbass with your baby or anything, but her child-like way of thinking does come in handy sometimes. After a couple of minutes, Anis quiets down completely and begins speaking in her usual tone, sometimes interrupted by a small sniffle or sob here and there.
