[quote] "Excuse me, miss? I noticed that you looked a bit worried, so I got this for you. It's a rum ball. I've always thought that candy helps people relax a bit, so I wanted to give you some." Maria paused, looking a bit worried herself. "...If you don't mind me asking, what are you so worried about?"

He then faced the robot. "Tell us all details you know of Project Willow." He turned back to Kat and put a hand on her shoulder with a smile. "Everything will be alright." He was absolutely assured of this. After all he had was confident he had everything he needed to fix everyone he wanted. [/quote]

Although Kat knew the others were trying to console her with the best of intentions, she had to fight down frustration at herself for making her distress so evident.  Unwrapping the rum ball, she popped it into her mouth and chewed thoughtfully. [i]Not quite as good as a real drink, but it’ll do for now.[/i] She smiled bashfully at Vincent and Maria. It wasn’t like her to get so wound up about things, but when it came to her siblings… they were the only people she really gave a damn about. Despite the hundreds of friends and followers she’d accrued on social media, and the large amorphous social circle she hung out with on nights out.

The boy who called himself Moth proceeded to interrupt the moment with a “damn” filled rant on the morning they’d had so far. The young girl, who had been so kind to her, then responded with a significantly more inspiring take on the situation. Kat felt herself looking warmly at the two of them. [i]They must at least a few years younger than me, and yet seem to be taking this so well. Vincent too. Perhaps I grew up more than I thought I had, to be worrying so much.[/i]

“You seem to have a sweet for every occasion. I’m quite impressed.” Kat remarked dryly to the girl. 

“And I like the way you think, too. That’s the way a mechanic’s supposed to see things; if there’s a problem, then there’s no point getting worried about it. You’ve just got to figure out if you can fix it with what you’ve got to hand.” 

The bashful look returned to Kat’s face. [i]I hope that didn’t sound as stupid to them as it did to me. I was never any good at sounding smart.[/i]

“Sorry for being moody before. The people I was waiting for whilst up on the wall… I’m pretty worried about what happened to them. But Moth here has a point- we need to focus on getting out of here first. What’s your name? I’m Kat.”
