“I’m sure everything is all right,” said Sky, a little worried, “and I think I need to be outside to make sure you stay secure.” “What do you mean? Don’t tell me you’re leaving us here

Please try to relax and trust your guardian.”
“I do trust you. I’m just not feeling too comfortable with us here alone.”
