[This video starts with a blue-haired young woman smiling and giving the camera a little wave from where she's propped it up. The house she's living in, what's visible of it at least, is tidy and neatly organized.

She likes a neat house, what can she say? Though she does acknowledge it won't be able to stay that way.]

Hello everyone! My name is Aqua and it's come to my attention that there are several unaccompanied children here in Havenwell. Or- young people, if not children.

So I'm opening my home to them. I have a couple children staying already, just so no one has to be on their own sooner than they should be, and I can take in a few more. We have four rooms, I don't mind sleeping on the couch to keep as many people living comfortably as they can.

Once I can save up enough dora, I have every intention of getting a much bigger home or getting help from Havenwell to keep a more organized system. For now though, it's just me.

If you need somewhere to stay, or know someone who does, don't be afraid to bring them by or point them by way. [Attached is a file for where her particular house is located.]

Don't worry about owing anything or needing to help either. I won't object but I don't want anyone to feel obligated, okay?

Having the space may put your mind further at ease for the... endeavor.

[The sooner the upgrade managed, the less time to get attached to any current dwelling arrangement. If that were possible, anyway.

She's still not used to being thanked for such things, but she nods.]

... Of course. It is little trouble. After all, you were the one being forward thinking about it in the first place.

[She just happened to know very good cooks, so it was nice to feel somewhat useful by proxy.]

I imagine the kids would be more comfortable too. Maybe they could have their own rooms then.

[That might be hard though. She'll have to start getting really comfortable with people soon. It's hard though when she was raised a certain way.]

Oh- well- I suppose I was, a bit. When I saw Rin on her own, I realized she wouldn't be the only one. If not now than in the future.

It may depend on what they want, or what they are accustomed to.

[Rin and Ib especially both seemed to have their own different ways of interacting with others. One was far too open to be steered while the other was far too skittery.]

... Indeed, I thought so as well. Now that this world has already begun bringing people to it, it is not likely to end with us.

[Given all of the space and town and how it was clearly setting up for more.]

[That's true enough. She'll have to be careful about that and ask everyone their preferences whenever they all start to settle.]

Probably not. I don't think we're going to be enough to help their entire world at our current numbers.

[She wishes they could be, to spare others from having to come here and adjust and worry over friends and loved ones.]

I hope you'll take care of yourself too. I'm not afraid to look after adults in the city too!

[It's have in jest.]</small.

Having more numbers will not solve the problem, either. Not until there is a sustainable system.

[Which... how could one even build that given what was required as an energy source to begin with? Well done, planet.

At the jest though, she is mildly surprised, her expression softened by faint amusement at the consideration.]

... Do not worry. I am not alone here. [Because of Lup, of course.] But perhaps you ought not to forget that for yourself.

[The fact that Aqua seemed intent on looking after others with no one seeming to be looking out for her interests? Certainly sounded like that could be a problem.]

You're right. I hope they have something in mind, at least.

[Oh.

Heck, that got turned on her fast. She laughs though, smiles, and waves her hand a bit.] I won't!

[She will. Probably. It's a habit to put others before herself.]

It seems unlikely that they have prepared far enough ahead for that on their own. Calling us here was an act of desperation, after all.

[She just thought it best to be as realistic as possible about their current outlook. Who knew what unexpected changes could occur with their time spent there.]

Perhaps... I should not keep you further from the rest of your preparations?
