Did she just call herself an orphan?
O r p h a n?
What in the world is an orphan doing here?!
I won't deny their existence, but even orphans from the streets refuse to traverse the marketplace unless they planned on stealing food or work among the vendors that sell here.
'But why would an orphan?'
"Lucia." I asked out of piqued interest. Her situation reminded me of a certain someone's. "Why are you even here in the first place?"
This place literally isn't exactly the best place for an orphan to be running around in.
"I was gathering stuff for my journey to London." Lucia explained, "My friends told me London would be a good place to keep my promise."
'Promise?' Soon I start to see a resemblance between her and a certain person I know. 'Ah, she's such a goody two shoes, almost like Rei Rei.'
"But thank you for saving me-" She then held a look of confusion, "Um? What was your name madam?"
I smiled at her politeness. "My name is Matilda, but everyone knows me as Matty."
"Then Madam Matty?"
I shook my head. "You can drop the Madam, Lucia."
