First little lie ♰ Keep me breathing as the water rises up again

[The first image the camera captures is a pair of large brown eyes, blinking sleepily before widening. They dart back and forth as their owner pulls the communicator back, showing a small pale face framed by dark curls, mouth curled into a frown. Zoom back a little more and the starry expanse from the deck is visible in the background.

The girl in the foreground bites at her bottom lip, licks it, looks around again before frowning at the communicator. She pulls it up closer, staring at the screen, and speaks one word with a distinct note of fear in her voice.]

...Mommy?

Well, this is a first. I almost hope you're part of some breach.

[beingdifferent]

I don't know what you mean by that. Did I breach anything getting here?

[silvestris]

It means you're a little small for the usual suspects. What'd you do, spit off an overpass?

[beingdifferent]

Don't be silly, I would never spit. What did you do?

[silvestris]

Murder. Now come on, what prank did you pull? [Because no way is a child here as a Warden. No way.]

[beingdifferent]

I did not pull a prank.

[silvestris]

Knock off a candy store?
