Afraid of the dark [Action]

[youfool]

Somewhere in Genessia, a terrified boy is sniveling into his videophone. It's hard to tell anything other than his voice; the surroundings are pitch black. After a few sniffles, he finally gets it out of his system.

"H-hey, someone help me! It's really dark in here and I got lost. Stuff keeps bumping into me and I can't find the way out and it's really dark and I just wanna go home and-and...*sniffles*".

Ted bawls for a bit.

"Maybe...*sniff* maybe call a priest, but I don't know their number. 911 is just for cops, not priests so I dunno what to do. Please help..."

Maria almost immediately stopped bawling as soon as she felt the hand upon her shoulder, reducing her to mere sniffling, instead. "Are-- are you my mummy?" she asked, with the patent desperation of someone who would gladly trade up for a much sweeter mummy; after all, she was so ignored at home, and was rarely if EVER touched like that by her own mummy!

Still on the communicator, Ted replied likewise. "I had a brilliant strategy! I'll just follow the noises and walk out. Also you can't come in, that's the rule. Also I think she might be special needs since she keeps asking for her mom but I'm pretty sure no one's moms are here so tough cookies."

Kahlan smiled at Theodore's comment about them not coming in. She wasn't completely unused to the no girls aloud rule though she never experienced the frustration as a child.

"We will keep talking then." She turned towards Maria keeping her voice comforting and calm.

"I'm not your mother. I'm what my home calls a Confessor. I seek out the truth and I'm here to help you both." Kahlan avoid lying as much as she could.
