I think we just might be...
*Julian watched her, pleased with himself. This was not so hard.*
"So...you are not feeling so bad anymore?"

*She smiled.*
"No, not at all."
*She put the rat on her shoulder, to see if it would stay. After a bit of scrambling and poking her with it's claws a few times, it managed to get a grip. She grinned at it, petting it's soft fur.*
"Thanks. You're a good brother." *She wrapped her arms around him middle in a sickeningly cute grateful hug.*

*Julian shied instinctively from her embrace for a moment before willing himself to return it.*
"It is all right. I want you to have someone that you can come to...that you can trust."

"Thanks," *Pina said with a smile.*
"Can we go back now? I want to show Mama! She'll love him!"

*Julian's eyes darkened.*
"I do not think that that would be a good idea. We can return, but I don't think you mother would approve of him."

"Oh- I..."
*He was right, of course. Her mother didn't like rats... But if she saw how sweet hers was, she'd just have to like him!*
"I'll keep him secret. Our secret, right, Julian?"

*Julian smile slowly and nodded.*
"Our secret. Come. I'll take you back down again, if you'd still like."

*She nodded, following him to where they'd come from, her mind a whirl with things she hadn't thought about before.*
"Okay."

*Julian stood and offered her his hand again. He carefully navigated the way back down, making sure that the girl arrived in one piece. They were terribly delicate after all.*
