Katie stuck her chin out at the smelly man's guess of her age. "I'm not a baby! I'm seven!" she announced. "Daddy wanted me to stay in my room, but that's boring! So I went exploring..." she suddenly seemed to realize what her daddy would probably say once he found out what had happened. And with Harley hurt like he was there was no way her daddy wasn't going to find out.
Katie slapped a hand to her forehead. "Daddy's going to ground me forever," she moaned. "I don't want to stay in my room anymore," she added like she was being given a punishment, which to her it was.

Katie looked at the man up and down. "You are smelly," she stated, not being mean just stating fact like most children it. "And very dirty."
Even so she took him by the hand and started pulling him along. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up," she said like a little mother.

She led him to a washroom of sorts. They didn't have running water so all of their wash water had to be stored and conserved. Getting a bowl and a rag from one of the lower shelves, Katie filled the bowl from a barrel in the room and dipped the cloth in it.
"Come down here," she said, grabbing onto his shirt to pull him down to her level. Once he was down she started wiping off his face. He had black stuff all over his face and neck. "I've never seen you before, are you visiting too like the girl?" she asked. "Daddy said I couldn't meet her because she wasn't going to be here for long," she said in a sad voice. "There's no one for me to play with. I keep begging Daddy to let me go outside, but he won't. And I can't play with the grownups cuz they are loud and smelly and say bad words."

Her little face suddenly brightened. "Will you play with me?"
