H-Huh?

[ooc; meet new Gailardia. Mari's gonna be nice to him. Mari promises that she'll never hurt him ever. Mari will treat this kid as if he were her own.]

Your...Mother will be fine. She'll know you're in a safe place, alright?

I-I don't know.

[Pinches the bridge of his nose, thinking of a way to calm a kid down. He finally ends up reaching for the messenger bag, opening and pulling out his white laptop] Mmm...What if I tell you that this little machine here can let your mom know that you're fine?

W-What's that?

It's a piece of uh..."Fontech" that allows you to send people messages, no matter how far they are. [Sits on the floor and opens the laptop up, motioning the kid to sit next to him.]

C-Can I play with it? I wanna say hi to Mary!

Mm...I don't think you know English, do you? Just tell me what you want to tell your family and I'll write it for you. [And opens a mailing program; even if he's basically tricking the kid, it's better than having him upset.]

[Sits next to him] Um... tell Mother that I'm stuck in a weird place! And I'm with Uncle Guy! And... And tell Mary I said 'hi' and ask her what English is...?

[Types as he's told, quickly and with a bit of an amused face] So you've found someone to stay with already?

Uh huh! Uncle Guy! He's my uncle...

That's good, I guess. I was beginning to think of taking you with me if you didn't have anyone, I don't think it's safe for a kid to be alone.

Oh... But I can go to your house and play with you! ...Right?

Ah, right...you can, as soon as I find myself a good house or a room to live in.

You don't have a home?

Not yet...I've been kinda sleeping anywhere, in random rooms away from this place.

I just gotta pick somewhere, right?

I can ask Uncle Guy if you can stay with us!

N-No...[A bit scared of staying with any "Guy" that isn't his own or the kid] Thanks for the offer, but there's someone else I would live with. I'm going to find a big house with empty rooms if you ever want to come and play though.

Oh, okay!

Anyways, is that all you want to put on the message?

Oh, ask Mother to come here, too! And Mary and Father and Van and everyone!

[And types] Anything else?

And you can say hi, too!

A-alright...[And types a little more before pressing the send button, a little envelope appearing on the screen] See that letter there? that means it's sending.

[Nevermind that he's going to get a "No connection" message later, but since the kid doesn't know English...]

Oh! When will Mother get it?

Right now, actually.
