"Rose!"
"It's Rose!"
"Everyone! Rose is here!"
No sooner had she stepped through the gate than a stampede of small feet rushed in her direction. Rose was quickly surrounded, and though it was a little overwhelming, the contagious smiles infected her before long, and she found herself grinning from ear to ear.
Visiting the Sanctuary has become a routine for her, so much so that she tried to schedule everything around it. Today, she happened to be entirely free, and instead of spending it on herself, Rose decided to make an extended visit.
"Hi~ everyone, how have you been?"
The excited replies she received warmed her heart and put her at ease. The number of those who came to meet her had increased since her last visit, and not because they had rescued more from Black Skull's dungeons. More were feeling safe enough to come out and play, and from the looks of it, her frequent visits had earned her enough trust that they weren't afraid to meet her anymore.
