Selena merely smiled back at the boy's confused reaction. Of course, she had already expected his confusion. For someone who was used to this kind of life, it wouldn't be odd for him to mistrust any adults that happened to approach him.

Before Selena could hear his reply however, they were interrupted by the arrival of another person, who seemed to be a guard though he didn't wear the full outfit set.

And then, the boy started crying.

The guard now looked at her, as if he was asking for help.

To make matters worse, now the shouting angry man was going towards their direction as well.

"Can you watch him for... five minutes? ...Please?" the guard suddenly asked to her, his expression looking desperate.

Selena then looked back at the kid, who was still sobbing. Immediately she felt a pang on her heart. She couldn't help but to feel pity at him.

Gah, she had never done this before but she just had to do it. Selena, use your instinct as a motherly, feminine female!

[color=pink]"Sure!"[/color] Selena returned the guard's plea, before bending down to the kid's level and immediately led him to her embrace. Slowly and gently brushing the back of his head, she said to him, [color=pink]"Shhhh, it's alright. You'll be safe here with me, your big sis Selena..."[/color]

She hoped that would be enough to calm the boy down.
