Cynthia gave the orderly a soft little smile, "That sounds good.  I don't think Piper wants to be sociable to just too many people right now."  It hadn't really occurred to her until she said it that she was probably included in that list, but if that was true, she would just have to deal with it.  This situation was turning into a problem, she could see that and she was afraid that it could only get worse.<br/><br/>Taking a deep breath as Piper started counting, thinking that it was a bad thing to let her reach ten.  "I have an idea."  She moved over towards the orderly, keeping her hands behind her back and leaving him room to back up.  "Piper, will you promise to go to the room if he lets you just walk there?"  Cynthia looked over to her with a soft but persistent hope before looking to the orderly, "And if she promises, will you let her just walk there and not invade her personal space?"  Her eyes pleaded softly between the two on this compromise, just hoping that everyone would be able to get along.  She hoped she could convince the orderly, but she just didn't know about Piper.  Maybe, though...and it never hurt to hope.
