Valarinth sighed as she comforted the faerie more.<br/>"Don't be disheartened, Niariel...Sinol and myself will find your brother, right now though I want you to look after your room mate and understand what it means to want to protect someone."  She said with a smile as she carried Nia to her room and placed her next to Katsumi whom was just wakening up to the sound of the door opening.  "As for you Katsumi dear, I'd like you to do me a favour and stay at your current size until this time tomorrow."<br/>"But I..."  Katsumi begun, Valarinth looked at her a bit saddened as she explained the situation via telepathy and then Katsumi nodded.  "Okay, I'll do it for Nia, but just this once."<br/>"Be sure to look after her like she were the most precious thing in existence now!"  Val spoke to Nia.  "And don't worry, we'll find your brother."  She added before leaving the two alone in the room and closing the door.<br/>"So...any idea where to start looking for Akzariel?"  Val asked Sinol.  Back in the room  Katsumi let out a gentle sigh.<br/>"I feel so helpless being this size."  She complained a little.  "Um...please don't cry, it's making me want to cry."  She added before hugging Nia's leg, not sure why she was doing it, but just feeling that it was the right thing to do...understanding emotions was something she still had great difficulty with.
