She nodded. Even though he'd come to her all flustered, she found herself relaxing. He gave off the same aura of calm as Nemu, even though he was at least two of her in size.

"I think it is. It's just something I remember." She was surprised she'd never googled it before, to tell the truth. She knew she didn't speak French, so knowing it was all the odder. But then since she didn't know anything past around her fourteenth year anyway...

"How do you say 'come here, little one'?"

"It is. I remember reading it." He relaxes, hunching slightly, lowering his guard. For someone who fights every day, it's a meaningful gesture, an opening he doesn't give to many.

"Wait, you don't even know what it means?" She didn't have much of an accent when she sang it. "Not a lot of people sing songs in foreign languages." He only hums them, French or English. "Tu veins ici, ma petite." Abel stops, shaking his head. "I think we're wasting our time, though. I should go get a piece of steak. She'll come running then."

She called that into the hallways but heard no sound of approaching pitter pattering puppy feet.

"All I recognize in it are 'grapes', 'wine' and 'kisses', so i'm guessing it's some kind of love song. I don't remember anything past seven years ago and I knew it then."

She removed her phone and began paging through her contacts for Apollo. She hated to rely on her students for favors but when it was a fluffy great pyrenees puppy at steak...stake, she thought she could be forgiven.

Abel goes wide-eyed, sudden interest obvious. "You're an amnesiac too!?" So interested, in fact, he forgets to keep his voice down. He scratches at the back of his neck, embarrassed, falling into whispers. "Sorry, it's just...I don't have any memories either."

She looked him over once more for signs of wings. Nope, he wasn't a Haibane. His excitement at finally finding someone like him was funny and a little sad.

Reki nodded. "Mmhmm." She opened the door to the grounds, thinking the puppy might have gotten out. It was a somewhat less chilly day, anemic sunlight struggling to get the feeling of spring through. "All I have are skills and knowledge, but no personal memories past that point. How far back is it for you?"
