If anyone wants to volunteer to keeping them out of trouble, go ahead and tell me. I'd suggest at least two of you kids, because they're a handful, but they seem to like you, Yamina; I might fob the lot off on you."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Yamina smiled, showing some emotion for the first time since the blame spreading had begun.  "It is no trouble.  I will be pleased to be their shepherd during the trip.  They are good, sweet children and are handling the situation very well.  May I suggest you assign the enemy captive to work with me and the children?"<br/><br/>She looked around, noting the expressions that ranged from skepticism to downright anger.  "Consider.  Children ask questions we do not think of or are conditioned by custom not to ask.  They hear much and will repeat it to someone they trust.  Likewise, adults forget children are far more clever than they think and talk about more than they should around children, confident they will not be understood.  The woman may relax her guard and let slip something she should not.  As well, she won't be poking around weaponry or machinery and won't have a chance to get up to mischief in a bid to escape or harm the ship."<br/><br/><br/>
