Marta followed Sterling to the other group, nothing that there were a lot of them. It seemed like during the day Kallisti was almost a day care center. Marta counted nine kids. They all seemed to be taken care of at least. That made Marta happy. She pet Splash idly on the head. Splash was good with kids. She went to school with Marta every day and got along well with anyone - unless they intended Marta harm. Splash was a good judge of character, and Marta could always keep her on the straight and narrow.
"Hello!," Marta said, waving her hand joyfully. "You said two of the ones that didn't come don't live with them - do they all live together?" she said, and then turned quickly to the group. "I'm sorry - I shouldn't talk like you're not here like that. I didn't mean any harm."
Splash rested her head against Marta's leg, reminding Marta that she was okay. Marta probably hadn't done anything wrong with her statement, but she tended to always think that she had. At least she wasn't feeling the panic well up. Her question really had been an innocent one.[/color]
