HOTARU
She's definitely an odd girl, and Hotaru is concerned about her lack of awareness of her surroundings - odd, again, considering how studiously she examines the Spire - the maternal instincts burned out of her reigniting at the prospect of the girl getting hurt due to her distraction. It keeps her rooted to the spot, even when no further words are forthcoming from the girl. There is no basis for her to speak her fears yet, and her warnings would likely hold no weight for the girl if Hotaru has any accurate memory of her own children thinking they could take on the world at the tender age of not-fucking-old-enough.
It's a beautiful day at least, and Hotaru reclines a little, hands digging into soil. When she notices the girl using her for measurement purposes, she sits a little straighter. "Need me to move for better measurements?" What the hell, right? She had nothing better to do today, the hour was young, and well...Hotaru is a mother at heart. Her twin-colored gaze falls upon the nameless child and she sees Arya's quiet nature, Romina's obsession with nature, Ru'in's studiousness. Old memories and ties that the girl doesn't deserve to have projected onto her, even in silence, but they strangle her nonetheless.
"My name is Hotaru, what is yours?" If the girl declined her offer, hopefully she could at least get a name out of her.

she would burn down your kingdoms
herself with it
if it meant your ruin
