Hilde Lisko, investigative journalist

Initially, John mistakes the girl for Saoirse, as much because he can't imagine any other child about that size striding into the Archive with any confidence as because of the superficial resemblance. But upon second look, it's clear that he's never seen this one before. He frowns, straightening from his hunch and distantly wishing that Martin was the one covering the front today.

"Are you lost?" he asks, endeavoring not to sound unkind, though he can't help some bewilderment leaking into his tone.

Walking in and looking around with all the confidence of someone who knows exactly where they're going and what they're doing, Hilde nevertheless isn't expecting such a greeting. In retrospect, though, it makes sense. Most people don't expect a ten-year-old to go wandering around alone anyway, especially not in a place like this.

In her experience, though, she's not like most ten-year-olds, and she is here for a reason, of sorts. "No, I'm not lost," she answers, her voice light, a little curious. "I heard about this place. You keep records here?"

"Ah." It's not entirely illuminating, as questions go: if she was an adult, John would presume she'd been directed here by City Hall, and it's a little bit harder to imagine a child going to such lengths for information. But it's not impossible to imagine. Honestly, it sounds a little like the sort of thing he might have eventually poked his nose into, if his temporal regression had lasted longer and he hadn't been introduced to the Archive so quickly.

"We do, yes. Immigration files, mostly, on behalf of the city." Her accent could be local, but her behavior decidedly isn't, so he adds, "Did you want to see your file?"

The boy is small for his age, short and slight and looking more like six than eight or nine. He carries himself close and wary, but his eyes are friendly when he sees the girl.

"Hello," he greets, polite as you please, and even offers his hand. "I'm Cody."
