He still wasn't sure as to why the woman's voice had sounded familiar, and even as he turned to face her, her appearance didn't bring him any clues. Rai had had his share of "sisters" and truthfully they all look alike. Like a bunch of marching penguins... The only way he'd be able to tell the difference between them was if one had either a deformity or did something that stood out and even though, as he took in her full appearance, this sister was more round, it was still difficult to try and put a name to her.
The children swarm behind their sister to finish their act at making Rai look like the bad guy. The sister stood there, her mouth partially ajar and her eyes fixated on his face. He felt a bit uncomfortable under her watch, but tried not to show it. Instead he lifted an eyebrow at her and turned his head a bit to the side to get a partial view of San’Gwynarius. “Before you kick me out,” He turned back to the gawking woman, “let me talk to the kid first.” Without even awaiting her answer Rai returned to kneeling before the child. “Hey,” He spoke softly to him, so that the others couldn’t eaves drop on them. “I’m sure you’re tired of this place.” The corners of his mouth tugged upwards, but his brows still pulled together. “I know I was… You don’t deserve any of this.” Rai wasn’t very good at speeches or even one-on-one talks. He was more silent really. And what he first thought to say to the kid would have definitely been taken wrong. “Uh.. Why don’t we get out of here? You and me, together?” He wondered if he should take the kid anywhere. What did children now-a-days like to do? Instead he went with another approach: “I’ve got fish.” He patted the packed fish that was still on the ground, and gave another, happier smile. Which was a bit difficult since orphanages always seemed to suck the fun out of him. “By the way,” He whispered, “What’s your name?”
