Clad in some kind of get-up made from various, torn patches of fabrics (sort of like her sister), barefooted (also like her sister), and wielding what looked a blade of some kind that a twelve-year-old at any size shouldn't have, was the six-or-so-inch young girl of dark cocoa skin. If one didn't know any better, they probably wouldn't have seen her, like Evan didn't, with her darker shade of skin tone, her dark outfit, the dark green beanie she was wearing that matched the grass color perfectly (which Evan didn't seem to get/remember the logic of), and the shadows both the tree and Evan now had over her. 

"Let my sister go, you monster! You're not taking her away from me!" yelled the little girl.

"A... monster?" Of all things, Evan didn't want to be considered that, especially by a young child. 

He was about to make an argument about how he was actually a good person, but then the pain of the stab and the feeling of dripping liquid hit him in the leg. To deal with that, he slipped Ayana off of his shoulder and placed her near the other female before limping over to the big tree's trunk and sitting to examine the damage.

Ayana, though proud of her sister for standing up to a giant like that, was enraged by her as well. She stormed over to Aisha, yanked the blade out of the smaller small girl's hands, threw it to the side, and said, 

"Isha, what... the hell!?"

"I... I'm sorry, 'Yana," Aisha apologized, embarrassed. "I was trying to find you. Those mean, BIG, big kids got to me again, after I tried to run away, and... I wanted to find you, but you weren't home. Someone said you went off in this direction, so I grabbed a blade to protect myself from all these animals around and went to look for you. When I got here, I saw you on that big guy, and I... I got scared." 

While wrapping his ankle in the sleeves of his shirt he just ripped off, Evan nearly cried hearing what little Aisha had gone through.

Ayana heard her sister's lament and could only sigh at her troubles. "Ishaaa, thank you, but..." She briefly looked back at Evan, who was shocked to see her gaze, before turning back to her sister, who gave him a glare almost comparable to one of Ayana's. "...you don't have to worry. The big guy - Evan... is a friend."

Aisha's eyes dilated, and although Ayana couldn't tell, Evan's were, too. The teen male was touched - he had finally broken a barrier between them and was one step closer to... something more. However, the tween girl just didn't understand. 

"What? WHAT!?" she screamed, loud enough for some birds in the tree above to fly away, scared. "But... but... he hurts people! He... he killed that one guy!" 

Evan gasped at the accusation, causing the sisters to face him. He looked to Ayana with a confused expression, but she only responded with a bite of her lip and a shrug. With that weird answer, Evan didn't get much. However, after a few seconds, a memory - the same one Ayana had - came to him, making him pale and nearly faint.

Focusing back to her sister, Ayana frowned and responded, "I'm not sure if he's totally dead, but I can tell you that he didn't mean to do it." Aisha tried to argue back, but she was cut off. "I know he was mad, Isha! But... *sigh* but, it was an accident. I mean, look at him freaking out now. Does he look like he'd willingly hurt anything?" 

Aisha softened a bit and shrugged. 

"Okay? Now, go back home and check on Mama and Dada. I bet they're really missing you. I'll be there in a while, alright?" The younger girl nodded and was about to leave the teen duo behind until she was held back. "But, first..." Ayana directed her head toward the colossal being still repairing himself, insinuating a message to her sister.
