The plodding of small feet echoed off old stone walls while a filthy young child desperately searched for someone.

"Dash! I thought you-" she gasped in between labored breaths, "got into a fight again."

"Hey, calm down," the boy clicked his tongue. "Why didn't you stay put?"

"I was worried," the young girl broke down into sobs. "I was really really worried."
