<strong>Cynthia Peregris (http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/8836/01rw.jpg), Dining Hall</strong><br/><br/>She just kept her hold on the girl, trying her best to be reassuring and supportive.  Sometimes that's all people needed, and she knew the power of a hug to brighten one's spirits.  "It'll be ok," she said warmly.  "Besides, we both have a friend now, right?"<br/><br/>As far as the question as to how long the meeting was supposed to last, Cynthia just shrugged a bit.  "I'm not sure.  One of the orderlies said that they wanted to give a meeting, but those alarms from before probably pushed everything back a bit.  It's probably best if we stay here for a while and just wait, but at least we can talk to people and all here, right?"
