>>5379034>>5379038>>5379040"Where are you from, little boy? What's your name?" You try to get some small talk with the boy, but he merely tilts his head sideways, wondering what are you really trying to say.
"Hmph... Is something wrong? I'm sorry if I upset you for tripping you over... Are you hurt?"
You inspect his feet, head and shoulders to see if there was anything stuck on him, but he seems to be doing just fine.
Still silent, though... What else could you say to him?
"इदानीं मां अवगन्तुं शक्नोषि वा?" Switching the language to Tudorian, you wonder if there is any other way to communicate with the boy without resorting to magic.
The child takes a step backwards, now feeling startled at a language beyond his comprehension.
"So it's the regular speak then. Why won't you talk, though? Cat got your tongue?"
Placing a hand on his hairy head, you attempt to look into his memories or hear any of his thoughts, yet he makes an active effort not to think of anything, revealing absolutely nothing with 0 messages. The child feels like a complete blank slate.
You thought that being mute would only make it easier to read his mind, but only a single thought goes through his mind.

"Right, I'll find your mom in no time!" Focusing on your surroundings and the color of their Od, you see the fusion of energy that came with his own sense of self. With the full moon, visual pollution was bound to disturb your Od vision, feeling several particles of the elementals as well as the spirits.
There are no strangers in sight. No apostles are nearby. The closest mind you can communicate with are the people from your camp. Given how that's the direction he is pointing, he couldn't possibly want to meet anyone there.
<span class="mu-i">"Beware Of The Moonlight Child..."</span>
You are reminded of Merlina's last piece of advice in your dream... The full moon has a strong affinity to spirits.
Malevolent or not, a team such as yours is bound to encounter the supernatural, but for what reason she would advise you to be wary of this kid?
<span class="mu-i">Mother...</span>
Knowing that his mother couldn't be Farnese, Violet or Cindy, the only other woman to be found there would be...
Now that you think about it... his features with the long hair... the mixture of their Ods...
Wasn't this the spirit who haunted them before?
>Poor boy. He doesn't realize that he's already dead.>It wouldn't hurt to let him come along, would it?>Maybe Casca would not appreciate reminding herself of her assault in such a crucial moment of her recovery.>Check him again for any oddities.>What do you think, Farnese?>Away with you, ghost!>Write-in.
