Small pitter-patter came from the steps of the child. Aqua ended up walking around the Imperial Mao Residence where the center of the buzz of the old world still took place. Her small face was downcast as she failed to realize she had wandered off a lot.
Why would she care? She was already lost with everything that happened for the past few days. Her Daddy just came home one day, but the next time he left, things changed so much. Lina refused to be the same child that she was, probably very affected by the death of her Big Sister. Mingyan was missing right now while Meteor was more concentrated in training than ever. Her Daddy and her Mommies were all busy with the turnover of power to the Vassal Emperor. Her aunties and uncles were scattered around on missions.
For the first time since she met Mingyan, Aqua felt so alone again.
