[ Fio forces a timid smile back, an obvious attempt to appear more confident. Her uncertainty hasn't fully faded. Yet she feels that she has some seniority here, thinking that she should be the one to help him. Even if it's really only two months since she remembers first meeting Aurora.

Her small fingers curl around his and she begins to guide him down the hall, slowly. Despite trying to be the reassuring one, it's also a small comfort for her to be walking hand-in-hand like this. The metal hand hasn't gone by unnoticed, her curious eyes briefly drifting over to look at it. A former companion of hers had something similar, though it was not only a prosthetic for the woman's left arm but also another for the leg. What's the story behind this one? ]

I was thinking we should go back to the lobby and I'll... talk to the companion bots. They can help with lots of things, I think. Just let me know when you need to stop and rest.

[ Surely they'll be able to tell her the directions to leave the theme park. It's the best course of action that she can think of taking at the moment. Originally she had come out to the hall to investigate the source of the noise, but it seems the reason has changed. Hopefully whatever was knocking on the doors earlier isn't anything hostile. She doesn't like fighting very much. ]

I'll protect you if anything scary comes.

[ ...While she isn't carrying anything visible for self-defense, she sounds very serious. ]
