"He's not going to kill anyone," Barbara promised him, putting her hands on Galen's shoulders to try and steady him, to soothe him a little out of the fear of his master who he thought might come looking for him. "He cannot find you here, I promise you Galen." She told him firmly trying to catch his eyes to make Galen listen to her and understand.
It was heartbreaking seeing him like this, a scared and worried child compared to the hardened young man that she knew normally. It was a little like the differences she saw in her boys back home too. Those points when they were younger and brighter to that point in their lives where things turned darker for them. Though she supposed she'd been like that too, it was just harder to see it in herself.
"I know Galen, I know." She said it softly, "You didn't ask to come here, none of us did - but you've been here with me and Lucario for months now, he hasn't found you in all of that time. We've kept each other safe all this time. And I promise you, he will not find you here." She wished she could make him understand, make him remember but he was so young now and he didn't seem to have any memory of this place before this week. But sometimes you just needed an adult figure to tell you things were going to be alright. She could do that for him, if he'd allow it.
"He hasn't found you in all this time that you've been here." She reminded him, hoping that would help too.
