Rating: PG

Leon knew he'd been called inside. He was trying to get his little body to go in.. but the snow was so pretty and cold. He was in shorts and a hoodie, so shivering was inevitable, but somehow he felt very happy shivering and sifting the powder through his hands.

He sighed at it, turned heel and walked inside. A few more children had been brought here. It was strange to see so many kids. Even on the streets during summer vacation, there weren't so many kids in proportion to adults.

He wanted to be on those streets again, though. It was nicer there, less scary to him. He plucked off his sneakers and let them drop off to the side, walking around the inside in hopes of discovering his caller. Where was he? What exactly did he look like? He'd seen a face, strangely, in the little book he had but the true face... well.. it could be anything. Apparently, though, it was someone who knew him somehow. It was somewhat a safety valve to know that, so he was patient.

After shutting the little book, D had extracted himself from his bed with the intent of making sure that the man-turned-child found his way into the clinic. The moment he stood, though, he was hit violently by a wave of dizziness. He leaned heavily on the bed as he waiting for his head to clear enough so that he could stand straight again and be on his way. He may have been able to walk now, but he was hardly fully recovered. The bandages wrapped over almost every inch of his skin could attest to that.

He sighed, straighting himself out and treading towards the entrance. He found Leon waiting there, patiently. Funny, the way he acted nothing like he did as an adult.

The Count smiled as he approached the boy, greeting him. "Hello, Leon."

Leon smiled a little at D. He didn't yet know his name and it bothered him a little. But this person knew his name, right? He waved a little.

"Hey... ah..." he replied back, acting like he was trying to remember the name he didn't even know. "Where is... this... place? It's not San Francisco at all..."

D kneeled so that he was eye-level with the miniature detective, overlapping his hands on his lap to disguise their weak trembling. "You may call me D."

"This place is known as Luceti." He admitted, not sure exactly how to explain the place and unwilling to give away the harsh truth. Being taken away from your parents and brought to a completely unknown place was frightening enough for a child as it was.

"Dee?" he asked, deciding the name, as his friend had an aunt Dee, meant this was a lady. Or wanted to be. He'd met both before. One was an accident though.

"Never heard of luceti..." he frowned a little. "Is mom gonna get me later then?"

"I... do not know, I'm afraid." He admitted.

He stood, carefully hiding how the weakness of his body. It would still be a few more days before he would be well enough to be up and about, unfortunately. He had hoped he might heal faster than this, but such was not his luck.

"Come now, Leon," He smiled again and beckoned the child to follow him, "I shouldn't be up and about."
