Vivio. Oh, that name was painfully familiar. Seemed like a name Matt had mentioned at some point or—
Aeneas blinked, eyes wide. This was Vivio? Vivio, the little, bouncy human child that Matt gave the stuffed toy mammal to when they returned from the Holiday Mission? No, she couldn’t be…?
And—And Nanoha and Fate—yes, he’d seen the three of them conversing during his wanderings! He’d never assumed that they were Vivio’s parents, though, because…wow. Human reproductive abilities were really starting to confuse him.
Of course this was irrelevant, as now Aeneas had some idea of what he was dealing with, and perhaps now he could help out some.
“…And if I know Fate,” the alien trilled with a careful smile creasing his brow, “Then she is doing everything in her power to find you and Nanoha. But she cannot do so without your help.
“You need to wake up, Vivio. We cannot help them until you wake up.”
A dream... this is all that is, isn't it? She clutched her head, trying to understand everything at the moment.
A dream... no, nightmare. The Nightmare King. This was one of HIS dealings. No one was taking her away from Nanoha or Fate.
She dropped to her knees as the dream world faded away, allowing herself to return to her normal, child self. As she did, her Device, Sacred Heart hovered down and patted Vivio, finally able to get to its Master.
Sheik allowed himself a sigh of relief, crossing over to where Vivio was, crouching to meet her at eye level. "It's not over yet," he told her gently, "But it's going to get better, you'll see. We'll get you back to your mamas and beat the Nightmare King, okay? I promise."
[I never knew you were good with children,] Zelda observed, and he smiled a little, not answering straight away.
Straightening up, he offered Vivio his hand, then nodded to Aeneas. "Right - we should go find Nanoha and Fate, now," he told them both.
((OOC: Right! On to Will's thread, unless there's anything that needs to be done here still?))
