Accidental Video 010

[usskickass]

[A small, slightly stocky child in a dress sits against a wall in one of the hallways. It's clear she doesn't know she's being recorded. Soft, pitiful sniffles can be heard. If her damp face is any indication, she's been crying for a while.

For how upset she is, she's being awfully quiet about it.

The girl rubs her nose on the collar of her dress and scuffs her shoes on the floor.]

I know you!

[ Normally Philip would do fine without stating the obvious, but that just seems like a great observation to make now, especially since it finally turns that tiny suspicious face into a smile and makes him approach Shannon a lot less reluctantly than before. ]

[Shannon pinkens a little.]

Yeah. You're a kid again too, huh?

[Sometimes the obvious was all she could think of to say.
