*Dantin hesitated as she hugged onto him. That definantly wasn't what he had been expecting, not in the least. After the moments hesitation, he hugged her as well, feeling it was what needed to be done.* "Hey, it'll be ok." *He said quietly to her seeing as how he was almost talking down her ear.*

The feeling of closeness with someone she didn't even know was a lot less strange for Seria than it should have been. She eventually got herself to calm down enough to talk, and looked up at Dantin with slightly bloodshot eyes. "I don't know what to do... I don't know anyone. I don't know where to go. Please..."

*Dantin looked down at Seria and smiled slightly.* "Well, I don't know about the rest but you have a heck of a way of meeting new beasts." *Now that he thought about it, he didn't even know her name yet. She had been to broken down to tell him and he hadn't had a chance to tell her his.*

Seria eventually decided on trying to think for a second. She looked at Dantin with a mix of dejection and curiosity; the latter won in the end. Looking down at his body against hers, then back up at his face, the mouse looked for something to say and, for once, found a sentence waiting. "So... Who are you?"

"My name's Dantin. Squad captain in the forts army, not to believe that I'm all military, though. I just do it because I need a paying job. Oh, by the by, I don't believe I've gotten your name yet." *It seemed good that the mouse was not crying anymore. She had actually gotten a coherant sentence out so that was a good sign. Dantin kept smiling so as to try and preserve her current mood and not have another breakdown.*

Dantin's smiling at her registered as slightly creepy for Seria, but she tried to disregard it so as to be able to actually speak her mind. "I'm, uh... Seria Mahor. Like, Mahor Shipping? My family does that business... But I'm not really in it, and I'm not a... Squad captain or whatever you are, so I can't get a paying job that easily." Her primary concern was now being able to support herself while she tried to figure out what had just happened with her parents, if possible. With no house, job or qualifications, though, and not even enough muscle to take up an unskilled labor job, she was more or less entirely hopeless.

"I don't know if you heard me earlier but I had said that I was pretty sure beasts around the village would be happy to help you if you just asked them. The fort isn't full of savages, you know." *By this point he had stopped smiling, it seemed to have an ill effect on Seria. He himself wasn't sure how she would make money but he wouldn't tell her that...*

"Help me? ...Help me do what? Give me a place to live and buy me food and pay for my schooling. That's really easy to help with. Yeeeeah." The younger mouse looked up at Dantin, almost pleadingly, but notably more hopelessly. There was nothing to live for and now nothing to live on. She'd be such a burden on any resident that she was getting back to the idea of death again.

"You know, there are some creatures in the fort that have money, lots of money, and would probably be willing to help you out with all of those things you've said." *Well, there was one beast he was thinking of specificly that might help but he didn't know of Linx actually would just give money to a stranger.*

"Two of 'em are my parents..." However, with their being cut off from her, she had to go elsewhere. Not knowing of Linx's generosity and willingness to split his conspicuously bloated, Seria wasn't sure who he was actually talking about. She looked at him quizzically, a wave of calm passing over here as she noted that she'd lose nothing by dying just then and her fate wasn't in her own paws anymore. "Who do you know who's that rich?'

*Dantin smiled again.* "Oh, I know one or two rich beasts. In fact, I know the richest beast in the fort and if I have anything to say about it, he'll help you." *Dantin was pretty sure that if Linx was unwilling to help, he would be able to talk him into doing it. Shouldn't be to hard he hoped.*

"You what? Who?" Despite all her schooling, Seria didn't know any renowned figures in the fort. All she knew that a Finnerator person ran things, and there was an army with scary-looking uniforms that had guards all over the place. The richest beast in the fort was, of course, unknown to her; she thought her parents had had the most money out of anyone, anyway.

"His name is Linx. He's the Master of Weaponry in the fort and just about runs the fort for Finnerator. And, as I said, he is most certainly the richest beast in the fort. You know that new ship that was built not to long ago, the Threat? Well, he funded that himself. Just about payed for the whole thing himself." *There Dantin stopped, he didn't want to sound like he was hero worshiping Linx. Far from it, he was just trying to cheer Seria up with the prospect of getting her schooling and food and a place to live.*

Seria was left with her jaw dropped. She had known about the Threat but not its origins, nor the fact that the Master of Weaponry was the richest beast in the fort. It took a few seconds for her to get her thoughts together. "Where's his house?"

"It's not to far from here... actually you can see it from here." *He used one of his arms that were still hugging Seria and pointed in the direction of the house. Actually, it looked like a small fortress rather than a house.* "See? It's the huge one that looks like a small fort."
