Shaila: He’ll like us too?

Darnell: *grin widens* He'll love you. Mitham too.

Shaila: *shifts just a touch closer to Darnell.* Will you?

Darnell: Yes. I promise.

Shaila: ...*will step forward and /tuck/ against him, little hands clinging to his shirt at the shoulders.*

Darnell: */hugs/ her back, arms wrapping tightly, protectively, around her* Welcome to the family, Shaila. You're going to be all right now. Safe home, warm clothes, good food, people to care for you...

Shaila: */snuggles/ into him...and then reaches for Mitham.*

Mitham: *takes her hand, and lets her draw him closer. If Darnell shifts to hug him too, he'll hesitate before tucking in a bit and resting his head on Darnell's shoulder, Shaila pressed snugly and gently between them, hand still trapped in hers.*

Darnell: *will shift, offering without forcing, and /hugging/ the boy when Mitham moves in...will just stay like that, crouched on a knee and silently loving on these two precious children*

Shaila: ...when can we go home?

Mitham: When you're all better.

Darnell: *nods* You've had a very close brush with some really nasty things. Rafa needs to keep you to care for until he's sure you're clear of things. Then we'll leave. Home is in the capitol, so we'll have a few days' travel to get there, and I want to make sure you're healthy first.

Shaila: *huffs* I don't want anymore yucky stuff...

Shaila: .......Why are people so silly and mean?

Darnell: Well... *she n3eds to learn sooner or later, and better the easy way than the hard, so they'll likely spend the time till stopping for lunch (if not beyond) talking about the ways of the world and (right or wrong) the generally accepted/expected places of the races in it*
