[It's strange, this place—or, at least, the little blonde girl wandering through the Gardens thinks so. But, then again, she hasn't ever been allowed out of the laboratory where she was born—or grown, to put it more accurately, but it's not as though she knows the difference—and no one ever thought it necessary to teach her much of anything about what "outside" might be like. Of course she thinks it's strange, this much color and space and freedom.]

[It's a little scary to suddenly be somewhere new with no idea where she is, of course, but at the same time it's a lot more frightening to be where she was before. After being trapped in the lab for so long with no hope of escaping, finding herself where she is— It's confusing, but at the same time she feels relieved. She pays no attention to the direction she's moving in as she wanders through the trees, taking in her new surroundings with wide eyes.]

[She almost doesn't notice when the footsteps first draw close enough for her to hear. When she does, though, she freezes in place, holding her breath as she listens. They're definitely coming toward her— What if it's someone that's come to take her back?! She makes a panicked dive behind the nearest hiding spot she can find, which, in this case, happens to be the trunk of a particularly large tree. As the sound of the approaching person draws closer, she peeks out ever so slightly from behind the tree to find...]

[It's someone she has never seen before. Which, at least in her mind, probably means it's not someone coming to drag her away again. It's also the first person she has seen in this place so far, so curiosity wins out over fear and she shuffles out from her hiding place. She's a rather pitiful sight, to be honest, rail thin and barefoot and clothed in something that's closer to a smock than a dress.]

H— Hello...?


[ ooc: So, Lambda has been wildcarded into bitty!cyborg mode. Feel free to run into her just about anywhere! As a warning, her past deals heavily with human experimentation and abuse related to such, so those topics are likely to come up somewhere in this post. Replies will be coming from minimurakumo. ]

[Akiha does look, just to check for any signs of physical abuse. She'd seen enough in the past on another to know what kind of abuse might have been suffered, but there isn't any. Whereas she knows this is Lambda-11, she also knows that right now she is a child and so doesn't care about decency.]

Do you need help into the tub?

[The lack of marks is more a testament to the medical technology of the late 22nd Century (and the fact that she's still too young for them to perform any serious remodeling just yet) than it is to any sort of kindness on the scientists' part, but she's not going to be particular forthcoming with that information. It's not something she enjoys thinking about, after all. When Akiha speaks, she shakes her head—] Uh-uh! [—and moves to climb in.]

[Akiha watches, ready just in case, but once the child is in the water, she turns back to the cabinet. Out comes a white fluffy towel probably as big as the girl and it's set on a chair nearby. Then Akiha gathers that... rag up.]

If you need anything, call for either me or Kohaku.

[She's more used to bathing via much more efficient showers, but this doesn't seem bad at all. She sinks down into the water, drawing her knees up to her chest.]

Yes, Akiha-sama!

Take your time and wash thoroughly. If your skin's not a bit pink by the time you're done, I'll question how well you scrubbed. There's shampoo and conditioner in those two bottles for your hair.

[And then Akiha leaves her alone in the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. When Lambda is done, she'll find appropriate clothing waiting for her.]
