New World (Arrival is OTA, tag to Leoben)

[machinechild]

[[Forward dated to Saturday afternoon]]Alissa still did not quite understand why the two men had tried to abduct her in the washroom, but she had dealt with them swiftly and efficiently. As she scrubbed her dress, the child part of Alissa enjoyed pretending that Skynet had set up a test for her, just like it used to do for Serena, her mother/sister

Leoben was still healing from his wound, but he was now well enough not to need his wheel chair to get around. He was going for a walk to get some fresh air and exercise, since he hadn't been out of his room in some time. He stopped in the middle of the street when he saw the little girl in her underwear crying her eyes out. Concerned, he quickly made he way over to her, kneeling in front of her, "Are you alright...?"

She hasn't quite thought the whole thing through yet so when Leoben approaches, she started to think of a plausible reason. She had read somewhere that partial truths made lies more believable.

Alissa sniffles and looked up at Leoben like she wasn't expecting someone to help her. "I'm...I'm lost." Alissa decided to add a brief quiver of her bottom lip to reinforce that she was scared and upset.

He quickly took off his jacket, so that he could wrap it around her. She was swimming in it, but it was better than standing in the street in her underthings.

"So is everyone here... but you're safe." he'd make sure of that. Leoben was fond of children and wasn't about to just leave her alone here.

The gesture indicated that this man was sympathetic to her plight which was good. While she could function on her own in most places, she felt unnerved about suddenly finding herself in a strange place. Alissa needed information and in order to get truthful information, she was going to need someone to trust her.

She reduces her tears, but sniffles again like she had seen,through Clea's eyes, the annoy boy on the street in New York do as he calmed down from a ridiculous tantrum. "I'm safe?"
