the lost child at stellis / tears of themis ☁️

Vyn Richter

Vyn's first impression of the amusement park was that it was something more than a place to take away the stress. It was a place where the imaginations of children come to fruition and adults can see the 'fun' in their lives.

He was walking behind the trio when suddenly, in his distance, he saw you. You were sitting on the bench, your face filled with despair and worry.

"Hmm, I wonder what's the matter with that kid? Hold on, why are they sitting alone?" Vyn thought. As he approached you, he checked over if you were safe. Nodding your head, he sighed and kept his distance.

"My name is Vyn Ritcher or Mr. Richter to you." He gave out this trusting smile. You then introduced yourself, pushing your hair away.

"Were you waiting for someone? Kids like you usually know that they should stay with their parents or they would tell you to call their number," he remarked.

"I don't know where my dad is now. I just returned from the lost and found section after I gave the lady's wallet back. Plus, the signal's kinda bad in this area," you stated.

Impressed by your good nature, he said, "Well, that sounds something to me. I can tell you were taught well on good behavior and manners."

"Dad would be angry if I stole it. I know that from experience," you chuckled. "Hold on a moment. Are you coming alone?"

"No," Vyn said. "I'm actually with a group, but it looks like I went ahead to check over you. I'll try to find a park worker while you stay here."

"What about your friends?" you asked, worried, but he quickly assured you that he would send a message from his current location and that they should go ahead.

So, you stayed on that bench, Vyn trying to find the nearest authority in his vision. You decided to kill time by playing your favorite game on your phone.

A man was trying not to rush through the crowd. Holding his son by the hand, they both tried to find a missing child.

Vyn continued to look for a trusted person to assist with the situation from a distance. That is, until he accidentally ran into someone.

"Oh, sorry about that!" the man exclaimed, attempting to help Vyn stand up, but Vyn politely declined as he brushed away the dust from his hands.

"Are you looking for someone?" he questioned.

"Yes, sir!" the father cried. "It's my child (Y/N), you see. They went somewhere, and I'm trying to find them!"

"Well, I'm sure they were last seen on the bench. They were sitting and waiting for you," he smiled.

"Nothing wrong happened to them, sir?" the man asked. As Vyn quickly assured him, he led the father to you. Sure enough, he gave you a big hug and some minor scolding, but that would be dealt with later.

Your brother began to complain about how you went off without him, but you joked that he didn't need to follow you everywhere. Vyn smiled fondly as he saw the family reunite.

He was about to leave the scene, though your father had some unfinished business. It was his idea that he should spend a little time with you and your family.

So, he agreed. You all rode the teacup ride as you laughed and shared smiles with your family. Vyn treated everyone to cotton candy and caramel apples, much to your delight. The sticky sweetness of the treats added to the joy of the day.

Finally, you all decided to take a relaxing ride on the Ferris Wheel. As they ascended, the view of the entire park and beyond spread out before them.

"Thank you so much for your help, sir," your father said gratefully, turning to Vyn. "I don't know what we would have done without your assistance."

"It has been quite a day," Vyn mused, looking out over the horizon. "But, I am glad I helped the little girl."

Your father nodded in agreement, holding your hand tightly. "I couldn't agree more. Thank you for joining us, Vyn. It means a lot." Today, Vyn felt happy to let go of all the worries behind him for now.
