"It's in the same country as this part of the domain but way on the other side."
Mitsuko smiled a little but part of her felt bad that she couldn't explain the directions better. "If you don't mind... Perhaps I can show you."
She gently took Sean's hand and let out her wings and picked him up as she slowly started to go into the air, and held him gently. The best way to see things from afar was to have a bird's eye view.
"See that domain that seems darker then the rest? Beyond there is where the school is located. It's pretty far though so you may want to make proper preparations before you- Or better yet... Now that you know where he is located perhaps you can send him a little note to let him know that you are looking for him, instead of making the long journey there."
"I'm not underestimating your abilities Sean that you can make it to the school in one piece but it's just the principle of the thing."
The angel then slowly placed Sean back on the ground standing on his own two feet, and made her wings not present once more, and back to looking like a regular human girl.

"Same country, on the other side," he whispered to himself, repeating the stranger's words to remember. He was too focused to remember those exact words, that he didn't quite catch the fact that Mitsuko was trying to let him know that she can show him the way.
So, when the angel approached the little boy and take a hold of his hand, Sean got quite a shock, but he didn't even have any time to respond properly when he was picked up and brought higher than the highest peak he could find.
He can't even concentrate to the domain where she pointed out, his eyes blurrily scanned the said area, highly unfocused considering someone's actually touching him. "Yes, yes, put me down," he managed to keep his tone polite as he said that, right after Mitsuko suggested for him to send a note there.
When he's finally back on safe ground, Sean immediately backs away from the woman, clutching his black cloak tighter around his tiny frame. "Don't.." he began, a bit trembling but managed to keep himself poised enough to not gain unnecessary attention, "Don't touch people...without their permission.."
He took smaller steps backwards after he's sure he's far away enough from the angel, his imaginary owl perched stiffly on his shoulder. Sean dislike people touching him, but it's not out of disgust, rather out of fear. There are things he kept hidden inside that oversized cloak of him, that's why he clutched the cloth tighter from inside, wrapping his body completely almost as if the breeze is freezing the boy.
"Thank you," he quickly uttered, as no matter how he dislikes company, manners are of constant practice. He nodded his head as a sort of small bow to the lady before turning around completely. His knuckles inside his cloak are turning white by how tightly he clutched his black drape, completely at unease.

Mitsuko closed her eyes and just kept herself calm and collected. She knew she did nothing wrong, she was only trying to help him out in anyway possible. There were two options one was to not physically show him where the domain was, and for him to go blindly. And the other option was to show him, and to guide him in the right direction.
The angel could sense his fear and she read that well too. So she did the right thing and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frightened you. That wasn't my intent Sean. I want you to know that I won't ever hurt you in any shape,way, or form. I don't hurt people.. I try to help them in any manner that I can. I was only trying to steer you in the right direction. I admit that a lot of the times I just leap in and help someone else out without giving it a second thought. But at the same time that's a part of what makes me who I am."
With that said she then gave Sean a piece of realization/ advice. The same one in which she had shown to her best friend. Whether Sean wanted to take it or not was up to him. The angel wasn't the type to FORCE someone to take it. Her advice were suggestions.
"Not everyone in this world is out to hurt you. Whether physically, emotionally, mentally not everyone is going to have plans to break you, but instead bring you up if you allow them to. You're afraid. I can tell... Sometimes we have to see things that we don't want to see, hear things that we don't want to hear, and face things that we don't want to face."
"Even though that I unintentionally frightened you, I want you to know that if you ever need another friend along with Celeste I'll be hear to listen. I have a friend too. Her name is Milo and she's a dove. A symbol of love, and peace. "
"I hope you find your peace Sean. And I hope Anthony comes to you once you send that letter out. I wish you nothing but the best of luck."
The angel got ready to leave since after a while she felt like she needed to give this child some space to comprehend the new information plus the advice she had given him, and she didn't want to overstay her welcome and make Sean more uncomfortable then she already did unintentionally.
And when people have a self realization they can get all sorts of emotions stirred up from within them and not know what to do. In Dark's case he got angry because he couldn't make out what he was feeling when he was with her. Dark's anger wasn't directed at Mitsuko, But at the feelings themselves that he was experiencing. The angel could tell that much from that day so the only way out was for him to leave.
And with Sean, she drew out his fear unintentionally. But she got the feeling that it had something to do with his past most likely, instead of realization. But then again maybe Mitsuko did make him realize something. Who knows?
"Take care Sean it was nice to meet you."
The angel started to make her way back to the Alamo Inn, and while she was on her way back she hoped, and prayed that Sean finds the person that he seeks.

Sean has his back towards the angel, clutching tightly on his cloak. He stared into the blank space of nothingness while standing completely still, offering his ears to the lady. The only reaction he shows to her words is a few flutters of his eyelids when something she said sets off an alarm or two in his head.
In truth, he really doesn't care if someone harms him. This...fear...is probably an after-effect of how his mother treated him, he assured himself. He just needs some time to get used to people, is all. 'I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid,' he chanted continuously in his mind, squinting his eyes tight as he drilled that to his subconscious in order to effect him psychologically.
If there's the last thing he needs, is himself to appear confused. Or bewildered. Or basically unfocused. Even with his back turned.
"I don't blame you," he added quickly right after he caught himself and recovered. It's actually quite fast...perhaps it's because he's still a child, complications wasn't part of him yet. Celeste's the one that noted him that, so the little boy used it, "I'm 8 years old. I've just gone out of my house for the first time. Do you expect me to understand what you just said?"
Of course he understands, it's simple logic. "And to counter your perception, hopes and wishes are never enough. ...They're just excuses to mend internal pain," he spat out with bitter venom. The child is sure of himself that he doesn't need mending, he welcomes pain with open arms. To him, it teaches more valuable lessons. Logical lessons.
He never realized that too much of it could cause something horrific stirring in the depths of a fragile heart. Perhaps it wasn't time for him to realize...or until it's too late.
Still with his back at Mitsuko, the little boy secretly slid a part of his cloak from covering him as he brings up his left arm. He stared down at his pale skin, burnt and filled with scars, his eyes downcast for a short moment, but then he quickly hid his arm back in his cloak and regained his composure.
"Thank you for your company and insight.." Celeste's the one that reminded him to thank the angel before she goes off. After Mitsuko had left him, the little boy took a minute or two to just simply breathe. After a while he spun around, now remembering the gift basket, then gingerly sat down beside it, to have a decent breakfast, for once.
He'll use the energy she granted him to track that idiot of a father of his, thankful of the unexpected kindness.
