She nodded a little, "His name is Harry, he is my twin," she murmured softly as they moved along, every now and again the small girl would tear her gaze away to look around to make sure they weren't passing up her Daddy it just so happened as she gazed around for her Daddy the young woman asked her what the name of her guardian was, "Anon..ee..muss..."
Finally she blinked when she gazed up at Evari. It was the question that threw the small girl a bit since she didn't seem to notice her odd behavior when she twitched or reacted oddly to the light the young woman gave off with her glow. She furrowed her brow and nodded, "Why...?"

Evari blinked, looking rather impressed by this bit of information. A twin, huh? That was cool! She couldn't remember ever meeting anyone with a twin before. "That's cool. I have a little sister, she's nowhere near my age though." Would Cheryl like her? She knew Tyyne would find many reasons to like her and find her adorable, being perfectly capable of seeing past the creepy she was sure, but would Cheryl like her? She seemed to like Evari because of her glow...hm...would she like to see more of it? Evari looked down at herself for a moment and then at Cheryl, looking thoughtful while the girl tried to say her father's name. Anon...ee...muss? Anoneemuss? Anonehmiss? Whatever. It was a strange name. "Er..does he have a nickname're anythin'?" Please have a nickname. Please have a nickname. She didn't want to embarrass herself by calling out this guy's name and possibly saying it wrong since it seemed his little girl had trouble saying it herself.
When asked why she wouldn't be okay Evari blinked, now it was her turn to be confused. Was...that normal? Or did she not realize she was doing it? "Just seemed y'got a bit of a tick...your head keeps twitching." Was she cold? Was she okay?
...Why did Evari suddenly care so much?!

"What's her name?" Cheryl asked quietly willing to get to know about the young woman more beyond the fact that she glowed and wandered around in cemeteries helping small girls looking for their parent. Cheryl hummed softly when questioned about whether her Daddy had a nickname and unlike prior which she gave very disappointing news she did give this tidbit of brightness, "Yes. Uncle Stitches and Uncle Jack call him Anon," she responded simply.
The small girl shifted her shoulders and seemed uncertain as to what to say about the young woman's concerns before she finally said, "I'm fine," she wasn't twitching quite obviously Evari was seeing things and crazy, very crazy.
Insane.

Well the twitching seemed to have stopped for now, that was good. Maybe she was cold..or tired? "Tyyne. She's got blonde hair, and the bottom half of her body is a deer. And she has fuzzy deer ears..and antlers." Evari wasn't quite sure why she was describing her sister to Cheryl, but why not? She was curious so she'd satisfy this girl's curiosity! Maybe they'd meet one day! Though Evari found that highly unlikely unless Mr. Hoodie brought Cheryl out somewhere...during the day. Away from the cemetery. Because there was no way Tyyne would go to a cemetery, much less go to one at night. She was getting a kick out of this 'Uncle Stitches' thing, maybe if she saw that rat b*****d again she'd call him Uncle Stitches. He'd love it! Not. Anon though, huh? Well okay then! That was much more helpful than the girl's previous answer. She couldn't blame her, really. What was Xai's who name? Xai...um...Xai...ko...? ********, Xai had a weird name. She could never remember it. "Well, since it's so quiet here I'm sure he'd hear us if we called for him." She explained with an encouraging smile, giving the girl's hand an affectionate squeeze.
She was fine? Really? Hm...but what if she was cold? She didn't seem to have a coat or anything. Maybe that really was why she was twitching, it was...shivering? Evari paused a moment to let go of Cheryl's hand, taking off her own fluffy coat to drape it over the girl's shoulders and pick her up, creepy spaghetti-sauce stained rabbit and all. If she didn't oppose it the glowing lady would put the girl on her hip, adjusting her a bit so the coat was covering her and not falling off. There! Much better, and now they could walk faster. Evari paused a moment, looking at herself and what she was doing. Why was she being so...what was the word...? No..not motherly. Hell no, Evari was not motherly. She was just...being nice. Yeah. "If you're sure. Just show me the way to go, 'kay?" Evari bounced her enough to balance her more securely, making sure the girl didn't lose her rabbit before she continued on her way.
"Anooooooon!" Evari called out, looking and listening for some sort of sign of Mr. Hoodie.

Needless to say Cheryl's mental image of this girl named Tyyne was very interesting. In fact the mental image didn't even have a human torso. Just a human head on a neck attached to a deer's body. She furrowed her brow a bit as she asked, "How does she hold things? With her mouth?" Poor armless Tyyne.
She nodded quietly and then suddenly she was covered in a coat and in the woman's arms. Cheryl didn't speak out or protest since it felt nice to be warm and to leech warm body heat off of the glowing lady that held her and even rested a cold little hand on the woman's shoulder as she hugged onto Robbie with her other arm. The small girl nodded and nodded toward a direction, "That way. I think I kind of hear him shoveling," Cheryl murmured as she joined in calling for Anon.
Her voice was much quieter though, "Daaadddyyyy~!"

Anon had been digging. As always, he was in his own little world where few people could rouse him. While he worked, he thought he could hear someone call his name...but then again, that could have been the wind. Weirder things have happened before! Besides, he didn't recognize the voice at all, he didn't have anything to go by! In order, the only girls he had ever 'conversed' with could be VERY EASILY counted on one hand.
Victoria, Cheryl, and Roxy.
Yup. That was it. Everyone else he had met, to date anyway, were boys...or androgenous. No one else counted because they had been seen, not 'spoken' to. So it wasn't Evari's voice that dragged him from his focus.
It was Cheryl's. Quiet, creepy Cheryl's.
He looked over his shoulder towards the source of the voice. He spotted the brightly coloured thing before registering where Cheryl was, and just in case, he brought his shovel with him when he stepped out of the grave. Luckily it wasn't too deep, just to his knees; just...it might have looked like the Cadaver suddenly got a lot taller as he made his way towards them, his lips drawn together in a thin line, wondering what in god's name was going on. He wasn't too worried...Cheryl didn't seem upset or anything, but still. A stranger was holding his Daughter.

Evari blinked, very thrown off by the girl's question. Hold things with her mouth? That didn't make any sense. She had arms, she'd hold things with tha--ooooh, waaaait a second. Evari chuckled and shook her head. "No, no. See...the top part of her body is like ours. She has arms, a torso, a head...all that. But her lower body is like a deer. Furry, four legs, a little tail...you could probably sit on her back and ride on her." Though whether Tyyne would like that or not Evari didn't know. She didn't realize Tyyne adored carrying little, little kids on her back. Though it was interesting to imagine Tyyne looking some way other than the way she did, since Evari never really thought to imagine her sister differently.
"Oh, you hear him?" Evari looked toward where Cheryl was directing her and headed that way with her, keeping a secure hold on the tiny girl. Ooh now she heard the shoveling too. Creepy...normally one wouldn't go toward the sound of someone shoveling but since he was a gravedigger...and Cheryl's daddy, they kind of had to. "Anooon? Is that you?" She called, spotting the movement. Oh! Wait, that was him, right? The figure rose from the grave and she paled visibly under her red glow, though the glow itself never changed.
Pleasebehimpleasebehimpleasebehim! Gah! He was even bringing the shovel with him! Evari swallowed hard and tightened her hold on Cheryl a little for her own comfort. Oh...he had a hoodie on! Yeah, this must've been Mr. Hoo--err, Anon. "Ah, hey! You're Anon, right? I found this little cutie stuck in the gate and figured she should be returned to her daddy. Right, Cheryl?" Evari smiled warmly to the girl. Yay! They found her daddy!

Words could not describe the levels of disappointment she felt for the idea that Tyyne didn't look as interesting as she thought. Not that it was bad or anything but she was sort of hoping her mental image matched up to what Evari was saying and it did not. Seemed as if the glowy-lady withheld vital information from her, silly Evari. She sighed a bit and nodded, "Okay," she murmured lightly accepting it. "She sounds pretty anyways," she replied idly.
She kept calling for her Daddy and when she saw him, despite being latched onto rather tightly, she wiggled happily. Cheryl loved her Daddy and it was evident by the way he didn't seem to frighten her despite the way he looked as he walked toward him. Cheryl smiled radiantly (for her) at the Cadaver as he approached, "Daddy! Daddydaddydaddy!" she called out happily.
Cheryl was not happy to see Anon, obviously.
She quieted when Evari spoke and nodded vigorously, "Sorry Daddy...I just wanted to see what the pretty glow was..."

The light was dim - Anon didn't work with a light over him - but it was just bright enough to see the hood move as though he were nodding. Yes, yes he happened to be Anon. He wanted to ask who she was and what she was doing with Cheryl, but he was pretty sure that this glowing thing wouldn't know sign language and anyway? He got his answer without asking.
From the shadow of his hood, his gaze moved to look at Cheryl - but what everyone else would see is a fairly tall but slouching, unmoving figure with a low hood. That was, of course, until he waved to the other Teenager, and then signed to Cheryl.
'I am glad you are okay. You should be careful next time. Did you thank the Lady?' Manners were important, or so he was told. He was usually pretty good about reminding them about manners! Still, the way he signed he didn't seem outwardly cross with the girl; his gloved hands moved pretty fluidly, and his lips were drawn into a thin smile.

Yes, Evari agreed that her sister was indeed very pretty. Maybe Cheryl would like her after all if she thought she was pretty without even seeing her. But for now the important thing was not dropping this excited little girl. Evari had never held a child before, she was guessing at all this. Was she doing this right? She hoped she was. It was good to see they had indeed found her daddy and not just some random creep with a shovel...like...a graverobber...or a murderer. It would suck to bring this girl to a crime scene.
Though she got the feeling the girl would hardly be effected by it.
This guy..Anon...he sure was quiet. Was he not even going to greet his daughter back or ask who the hell she was? Evari sure would want answers if her own daughter was carried to her by some stranger! She chuckled at Cheryl saying her glow was pretty, giving her an affectionate squeeze and lightening her hold. She felt...kind of better. This guy hadn't tried to swing that shovel at her yet or anything. God he was creepy. "That's right~. And now you know I'm a lady. Maybe I'll come back and see you again sometime, 'kay?" She chirped, glancing toward Anon again to see what he'd have to say about this. He...wasn't even moving. Was everything okay? She wasn't in trouble or anything, was she? She hadn't done anything wrong! Honest! But then his hands suddenly started moving and she blinked, watching the way they moved. Oh, sign language? That explained why he was so quiet. But what was he saying?! Evari turned her gaze to Cheryl, having a feeling the girl would be able to give her some kind of answers.

"That'll be fun," Cheryl said in response to Evari not seeming against the idea of the young woman returning to spend time with her. She loved when friends returned to spend time with her. She soon focused in on her Daddy or rather his hands. It took her a moment of concentration which was getting less and less as she seemed to gradually get to where she can instantaneously understand him, "I'm okay because of Evari saved me." She nodded a bit, "I'll be careful next time, I'm sorry," Cheryl murmured and then she let out a small squeak as Daddy reminded her of her manners.
She shifted and draped her arm around Evari in a small hug, "Thank you for saving me from being stuck forever," she said happily enough.
Soon she was making a bit of a grabby hand for her Daddy. The lady was nice but she missed Daddy now!

This Evari person wasn't really talking to him, so there was no point in his talking back to her, so speak. Instead he paid attention to his Daughter, watching how she interacted and responded to him. She may have forgotten her manners earlier, but he felt a wave of pride for the girl. While he loved both of his children as much as he was capable of, Cheryl would probably always hold a special place in his cold, unbeating heart.
'No harm done.' He signed to her apology, followed shortly by another round of signing. 'You are going to have to tell your friend that I am sorry, I do not have my writing tools with me.' Therefore, yes or no questions were preferred. As always he was quick to notice the slight grabby hands, and after shoving the spade of his shovel into the earth, he idly held out his arms for the girl; not in a demanding way just yet, but it was clear he wanted her back.

"She's very lucky my phone died so I could hear her." She chuckled, blinking when Cheryl suddenly squeaked. What? Was it something he said? What did he say? Suddenly she was being hugged and she looked rather surprised by that, giving a soft laugh at the thank you she was being given. Stuck in the gate forever? How cute! She would have been stuck only a few minutes, surely! And hell, she wouldn't have been stuck at all if Evari hadn't walked by! "Haha, you're welcome, doll." She chirped, giving her a gentle pat on the back.
Now Cheryl was reaching for her daddy and Anon obviously got the hint as well. Who was Evari to deny a little girl's wants? She walked up to Anon, trying not to look too curious as she got close enough to get a good look at him. His skin was...greenish? Was it green? Weird...but eh, who was she to judge? Um, how was she going to do this? Evari had never held a child much less passed one. She'd just have to make a guess and hope to whatever being was watching over her that she didn't drop poor little Cheryl. Evari adjusted her hold on Cheryl to pass her off to Anon, biting her lip nervously as she did. Don'tdropherdon'tdtopher. "She can keep the coat. Even if it isn't her style or whatever, it's warm and real comfy." Evari rubbed at her arms when Cheryl was finally out of her grasp, trying to ignore the rush of cold air against her skin now that the little heat leech was gone. Should she tell him about the headtick? No...that didn't seem like something to be too concerned about if Cheryl was fine, right? She herself said she felt fine. "She's a sweet girl, whatever yer doin' yer doin' a real good job." Despite her moments of extreme creepiness, and the fact that she lived in a cemetery, and the fact that she was wandering alone at night, annnnd the fact that Mrrh was her 'Uncle Stitches', she was a very adorable little girl.

She was happy when the hug was returned and was even patted on the back. She didn't honestly mind the affection that Evari showed her and it was a little different considering it was a young woman doing so, most of the time it was the men of her family showing her affection.
Cheryl was being passed off to her Daddy and she took a moment to enlighten Evari about what Daddy was saying, "Daddy says he's sorry that he can't really talk to you cause he doesn't have his writing stuff with him," which was unusual for the girl but she decided not to mention it. Once she was in Daddy's embrace she just hugged Robbie and stared at Evari.
..Then there was that weird twitch.
Though she did protest, "It is cold...You should take your coat Evari, you'll get sick..."

Anon didn't notice the little twitch. He used to, but he didn't anymore. It was just something Cheryl did, he thought it was rather cute! Granted his idea of cute was a little (very) skewed. He was thankful that Evari passed the girl over, but it was obvious to him that she was trying to look under his hood and so he bowed it a little bit, shadowing himself further but not so much as to lose sight of her, just in case.
With Cheryl back in his arms, he sat the girl on his lip, lightly cuddling her against him and absently pressing a little kiss to her temple. Now that his hands were full he couldn't sign, so instead he nodded in agreement with Cheryl's words, working to try and free the coat so they could give it back, all without dropping the girl.
