Hatta looked around for Aliana, occasionally calling out for her.

Aliana was still watching her captor anxiously. Every moment of silence only increasing her fear.

A little girl walked up to Hatta and gently tapped on his hand, "Are you the one looking for the blonde girl mister?"

Hatta turned, and saw the girl. "Hm? Oh. Yes."

"I saw her being carried by a strange man earlier," the little girl told him, "Does that help you?"

"Yes! Do you know where the man went?" he asked.

"Um, I saw him going to the north entrance of town," she responded her hands holding each other.

"Anywhere in particular?" Hatta asked.

"Mnm," the girl shook her head, "I just saw him going that way."

He nodded. "Alright. Thank you."

The little girl smiled and gave him a nod. She walked away shortly afterwards.

He started walking in the direction of the north entrance.

Aliana watched her captor in the room.

The man sighed, shaking his head.

Aliana was silently holding her breath waiting to see what would happen.

He cleared his throat, shaking his head.

Aliana finally had to breath in and out.

He glanced over at her, cocking his head.

Aliana froze up again as he looked to her.

He gave her a faint smile, and looked away again.

Aliana tried not to react to his smile. It didn't feel natural.

He ran a hand over his face, thinking.

The more time passed the less hopeful Aliana became of anyone coming to help her.

Hatta was looking for her, frowning as he looked around.

One of the other townsfolk walked up to Hatta, "You wouldn't happen to be the fella looking for the girl?"

Hatta looked over, and nodded. "Yeah, I am."
