"Hey, buddy," Tobias said as he picked up Li'l Jo, who just ran into the room. "I see they've been feeding you since I've been gone. Don't worry, I won't leave without you again."

After unpacking, Tobias found Daniela sitting out in the hallway.

"Do you like flowers?" Tobias asked as he produced a flower out of thin air. (by running outside and picking one before the girl blinked)

Daniela just continued to sit there.

"You know, you kind of remind me of someone I used to know," Tobias said as he pulled up a chair. "I'm kind of hungry, want to grab a bite to eat in the kitchen?"

The girl didn't say anything, or even attempt a smile, but she stood up and offered Tobias her hand as they headed toward the kitchen.
