"Nope! I've met Auntie Sivir! And she told me I could treat her as family until I found my mom! Calling her my real mom would be weird, but since I want you to feel at home, I wanted to call you Big Bro Vlad!"
"I'm not sure that's how brotherhood works, I'm afraid..." You question her internal logic. Even if she's trying to be nice, she just ended up coming off as dense.
Well, between Isidro thinking like he's an adult, Benny being depressed like an adult and Schierke pretending to be one, it's nice to see another kid acting her age for once.
"So what's this about you knowing Sivir, did you really talk to her?" Puck inquired for more information.
"Yeah, she used to appear right down that cove! She would tell me all sorts of stories about the world outside the island! She also told me I'm a merrow, which is kinda like a human, but not really! So we're basically the same, right?"
"Not... really?" You tilt your head, wondering what the hell your mother explained to this air-headed child for her to think that merrows and halflings were the same thing, of if she misheard or misunderstood every step of the way.
"... Is that not right? My dad never let me talk to her since she was an important figure of the island, so I had to sneak up at night to hear her stories. I was usually pretty sleepy, so maybe I only remember bits and pieces." She is quick to admit her faults, being pretty easy-going for an outcast.
"What's your name, little girl?" Casca lowers her weapon and signals Isidro to do the same.
"Isma! At least that's what my dad used to call me. No need to tell me your names, though! I remember you three from the last time Auntie Sivir talked to me. Your names are.... hm..." Isma takes a long pause before getting 2 out of 3 names wrong.
"Puck, Cocoa and Sissydro!"
Seeing an unamused Casca and an Isidro about to call her all sorts of names, she giggled uncontrollably before giving Isidro a hug to catch Puck by surprise.
"Just kidding! Hope you didn't take that to heart, I'm just messing with you. At least I got the cutest one out of you right, ain't that right, Puck!?" She caught him with her fingers, patting the elf's head with her thumb.
"See? She has good taste! I'd say she's pretty trustworthy!" Puck melts away on her palm as the head massage convinces him that Isma is indeed kind hearted.
"Guess we readied up our weapons for nothing..." Casca shrugs, disappointed that the call for action was a false alarm.
You'd think Isidro would protest a stranger's hug, but he's too busy feeling her breasts with his face to complain. At least they seem to be around the same age, so it's not as creepy as his perverted antics usually are.
