((ooc: Yay!
Thank you!))
Xene: *Is about to follow the rest of the paramites, when she hears soft sobbing coming from behind a rock. She quietly walks around to see a very young female paramite, barely older than a toddler. She speaks to the child with a soft voice, contrasting with her regular gruff manner.*
Hey.
*the child is startled for a moment, then sees Xene and calms down.*
Xene:
What's your name?
Mina:
Mina.
Xene: *takes a few steps closer*
Where are your parents? You're awfully young to be out on your own.
Mina: *sniffles*
Daddy was hit... with something. He fell down and didn't get up. *sniffles*
Then mommy got hit, but she told me to follow you guys, and then she ran towards the yellow things. *sniffles*
The yellow things hit her with the things that make really loud noises, and she fell down too. *Sniffles again, then begins sobbing again*
Xene: thoughts: This poor girl... she doen't have anyone left. Just like me. *feels a soft spot growing in her heart for the kid*
Hey, *walks over to Mina*
You don't have to cry anymore. I lost two people close to me too. You can stay with me. I'll make sure nothing hurts you, okay?
Mina: *sniffles*
Okay.
