"Did you see him? " Asks Sinbad while holding a poster with a drawing of Kikiriku. Some women in the company drew them to help them. Rurumu was in no state to help them unfortunately. The lost of her son had mentally affected her to the point she refused to eat.
" He is so high." And he set his hand on his leg. To give the man he was asking to an overview of the height of Kikiriku

" No." Said the man to who he had asked. They had been placing posters on the walls and been asking the civilians if they had seen their missing Imuchack for the whole morning. And they had nothing. Not even a clue, nothing. They were loosing hope, they even went to the authorities to ask for help of if someone had brought him there in hope to be giving back to his parents. But no, it hadn't. The only option left was that he was still in the forest, and they hoped it wasn't. Because there were a lot of wild animals in there. And the beast Ja'far fought was a prove of it. They would have to go in the forest to look for him and for evidence that he might have missed.

~Meanwhile~

It hasn't been a whole day since she had found him and yet he had caused her so much trouble. He had been crying nearly the whole morning because he was hungry. And Asia refused to give him anything. The rest of meat was too precious to be eaten in one or two days time. Normally for her the meat she had hunted yesterday was mean to last at least one week. Asia was used to have a meal per day, not three like a normal being. But Blue was still a tolder, he needed to eat these three meals. And so to make him stop and to avoid making the animals go away. She had to make fire, cook a little part of meat and then chew it before to give him. And doing it made her hungry. She had the taste of the cooked meat on her tongue. But she would have to hold herself together. She would eat at nighttime and not before. She was about to go out and look for water but the smell of something burning and the beat being suddenly closer to her make her stop and look behind her. How he did it, she didn't know. But he did, he had in a way set the animals skin and the rest of meat on fire. Unfortunately for them, they didn't had water or something to set the fire off. She had grabbed Kikiriku and ran out of the cave. And not long after, a lot of smoke came out of the cave. Asia was now glaring at the blue haired tolder.
The said tolder only gave her a toothless smile. He had no idea what he had just done. Because of him she lost nearly all her belongings.

" Why me?" Thought Asia. How could fate be so cruel towards her. Didn't she suffers enough already? She couldn't go hunt now, Blue would only slow her down and her dagger was inside the cave, she had dropped it when she took Blue out. And now all she had left was the necklace of her mother and the clothes she had on, who consisted of animals skin she had attached to each other. She will have to wait for the fire to end, but in the mean time she would have to look after Blue. And she would have to look for food once again. But this time she is more than certain that all the animals ran away, not only because of Blue cries but the smoke must have definitely scared them. So, she had to go into the city. And this wasn't pleasing her a bit. Because she didn't had the usual clothes the 'normal' people wears. And what will she do of Blue. She can't let him on his own, he will only cause another accident. Either way she had to go in town and she is taking him with her. Hopefully she will find some granny to take care of him. So, Asia took Blue's tiny hand and began to walk direction the city. And fortunately for her, the travel went smoothly and without any troubles. She wasn't in town yet when she spotted an old hut. Curious Blue pulled her hand and started to walk to the hut. Asia followed him, she didn't let him guide her there. Like she would have someone guide her anywhere any way. Asia carefully opened the door, she knows by experience to be quiet to not awake , if there was someone or something, the habitant of the hut. She took a look inside, there was a crib, a wooden table and chair. The place was clearly abandoned, there was dust everywhere and the walls and roof didn't looked to be in a good shape. But it will do it for the mean time. After all they must wait for the fire and the smoke to go away. The fact that they found this abandoned house was playing in Asia favor, she could leave Blue in the crib and go without him slowing her down. And the fact that Blue was a tolder, mead he need to take naps some times and she would take advantage of it. So, she took Blue in her arms and set him in the crib. Asia hoped that it would last till she come back, she didn't wanted to look after a ran away Blue. She was about to exit the hut, but Blue's protesting made her stop.
