=/\= Safe? =/\= by Tavi the stowaway Tavi shivered, and shivered some more. There was warmth under and around her, but she was cold on the inside. She was in a strange space, but when she opened her eyes, everything was too blurry to make out. She closed them again. "The child is awake," a voice came distantly to her ears. It sounded so far away, but even so she could tell it was a programmed voice. Real voices didn't have the same cadences. She couldn't make out the response, other than to tell it was a real person in the next room. The warmth around her increased a little, and she tried hard not to shiver so much. Someone was approaching her. Tavi tried opening her eyes again, but they were still blurry. "What is your name?" the programmed voice asked her, adding "You are safe here." Safe? What was that supposed to mean? She was still shivering too hard to respond. =/\=
