Cissy smiled, turning away from him and skipping off to put a few more stickers around the room, trying to look as nonchalant as possible as he exited the room and headed out toward the garden, presumably, where he'd wanted to meet. She gave him a ten minute head start before she casually strolled out of the rec room and then tore down the hall and out the door, bare feet carrying her quickly on the dirt path the led to the overgrown wooded area that Midian passed off as a garden.
In spite of the head start that she gave him, Cissy was quick to catch up to the man, her hurried footsteps and overly excited giggle giving her away with ease. "She didn't notice a thing." This assurance was given as she came up beside him. "Ooohhh.. It's dark out here." She smiled with wide eyes. "It's kinda creepy. Ric..." She tugged slightly at his arm. "Will you promise to protect me?"
