			Teyha shut the door and followed behind Leon closely, sitting on the chair beside his as she waited for her parents. "Please don't tell them I thought I saw a falling star hit the city." She whispered. "I don't want them having any reason to have me committed." Her eyes darted to Leon again, and she lowered her voice even further. "My parents don't want to believe my brother is a pervert. I'm not the only one he's molested and tried to rape... There have been reports from people I've never met, but my parents pulled strings so each case was seen separately and dismissed, and no charges were really filed. They think Bradyn has the mentality of a five year old, and had him diagnosed with a mental disease to support the claim that he capable of harming others the way he does, and Bradyn plays along with it to keep people from getting suspicious." <br/>
<br/>
She paused and sighed. "I've tried to keep people protected. I know what he is really capable of, and it takes a lot of..." Her lips quirked for a moment in her odd sense of humor, "Diligence to keep myself and others safe."<br/>
<br/>
She fell silent when she heard a door swing open, and sank back against the chair. Moments later her mother came in, fully dressed in her uniform. She barely glanced at Teyha, but the young girl pulled back with a wince anyway. "Why are you going to play those games?" Her mother asked in a strict tone, frowning at the girl before she turned fully to Leon, and extended her hand. "My name is Mary, pleased to meet you." She told him in a friendly tone, an easy smile on her face. "I'm sorry for my daughter dragging you around. She -Should- know better." Teyha made a sound like she wanted to protest, but a weighted look from her mother silenced her immediately, and she sank back into the chair again. "But thank you for returning her to us."

</blockquote><br/>"It was my honor, ma'am," Leon responded, mirroring her smile with an easy smile of his own.  He extended a hand, cupping his other over her hand as he shook it lightly.  "To be quiet frank, ma'am, I'm not quite sure where I'd be at this moment if not for your diligent daughter here," he continued, glancing off to Teyha to see if she caught the inside joke.  "You see, I was in a bit of a mess not far from here, and your daughter was the only person to come and make sure I was unharmed.  For that I congratulate you on surely having raised a fine daughter.  She tells me, however, that there seems to be some trouble at home.  You son it seems is...," he made it look like he struggled to find the words for what he wanted to say.  "It would seem your son is deficient, if you don't mind my phrasing.  I, how do you say, know people.  Perhaps you could explain it a bit to me, and I could see if I can render assistance.  I truly wish to pay you back for you daughter's kindness."<br/><br/>Leon smiled as he laid on the sentiment, knowing full well that he spoke the truth...in a fashion.  He knew he wasn't lying, and would forgive himself in the end, but such deceit was still deceit.<i>It is necessary if this world is to become better,</i>he thought to himself.  If he could render this situation any aid, it would pale in comparison to future trials that would face him.<br/><br/><blockquote class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch" data-attributes="" data-quote="Asuarah Garretson" data-source="">

</blockquote><br/>"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Morgan countered, holding up his hands.  "I'm sorry, it seems I got myself a bit carried off.  Sorry, pal, I do that sometimes.  Your business is your business I suppose, and I suppose I better not inquire to deeply.  But if I'm to be sheltering you guys, you better not try to hide anything important from me.  The only thing worse than having someone lie to you, is having someone not share the truth.  it's just not nice," Morgan shrugged and finally turned around to walk facing forward.  "You guys don't have anything against a little dust, by the way, do ya?  I said I used that room I'll be putting you guys in as storage, and I mean it.  There's boxes in there I haven't touched since<i>I</i>moved in, and that's saying something."<br/><br/>Morgan shrugged again to himself as he glanced back at the pair.<i>There's definitely something strange about these two.  It makes me want to keep an eye on them.</i>
