[Have a darling wee Rain staring down at the screen.]

HELLO!!!!

Where is my mommy??

I'm all alone here in a big libary and I'm not 'posed to be! Libaries are not for sleeping in, even if they're nice libaries.

HELLO!?!!


[Impatient wee Rain is impatient. Also, she isn't Rain yet. Ooops!]

Hey, sweetheart. [Watching the small girl with some concern.]

Do you need some help? I can head to the library and stay with you for a bit.

Re: video:

[livingmyths]

[Have a very skeptical looking Rain.]

I don't know 'bout that.

How do I know you're not a 'napper?

Re: video:

[charring]

Because I've met them before. They're too horrible for me to want to be like them.

You can trust me.

[There's quiet, almost stunned, silence. And then a very quiet voice, caught between horrified and awed.]

You've met 'nappers?

[charring]

Yeah, but it was a very long time ago and not something I should be telling little girls.

I'm Charlie.

Re: video:

[livingmyths]

Charlie is not a girl's name, you know. Are you sure it's really your name?

[Back to Skeptical!Rain.]

I'm Isabel. [She pronounces it 'EEZ-a-bel', with a strong Latino sound to it.]

I'm not telling you the rest, just in case.

Re: video:

[charring]

It's short for Charlene. That's a girls name, right?

Re: video:

[livingmyths]

[There's a considering pause.]

Okay. Yes. It's a nicklename, right? Like for fun?

Re: video:

[charring]

Exactly. Like for fun.

Re: video:

[livingmyths]

Okay.

Maybe I can meet you on the steps. Where they's people.

[Because safety first! Till she meets Charlie and forgets, of course.]

Should I maybe better call you Miss Charlie, 'cause you're a big person?
