[ Oh, she's playing his sister? How cute. Root is so up for that. She hadn't realized investigating ghost mysteries involves quite so much lying to other ghosts. Charles has really been holding out on her -- she has many questions for later. But Root always gets the job done no matter what else is going on for her, and this isn't any different.
She instantly mimics Charles's accent, expression nervous; she fidgets and looks around as she speaks. ]
I'm worried something happened to her. I told her not to come here -- there's all those weird reports -- it's been on the telly and everything.
[ She also wants to find out if anyone has been bothering this little ghost for its own sake. Root will totally take care of anyone who is hassling a young girl, ghost or not. ]
[ yes, apparently so! and root, — mirabelle, now — settles into the role like the pro she is, and charles barely bites back the impressed grin that's threatening to break through.
but no, he's a pro, too, and offers a small, sincere smile at the girl. the girl, meanwhile, glances from one to the other, fiddling with her skirt with her fingers. ]
If she came during the day, it... it should be fine, [ she says, looking down. and then, quietly, ] The pilot's only round here at night.
[ charles glances at root, then, because this is definitely new information... as much as there's a niggling feeling at the back of his mind he's lived through this once before. but no, that's certainly not true, right? right. ]
