Phone paled.
"How long were we gone?"
she didn't think it had been too long, but judging by the moon, which she could no longer see, it had to have been hours. She drew in a breath to calm herself before slowly releasing it.
"So.. what's the plan? We just walk back in like everything is okay?"
"OH, PHONECIA! THERE YOU ARE!"
And at her mother's voice, Phone froze before the woman swept between the two of them and hugged onto Phone tightly.
"By Kia's name, Phone, we've been worried sick! Where have you been?"
"Uh, er.. n-no where really, Mom. And I'm fine, see? Not even a scratch on me!"
Her mother sighed with relief.
"Yes, well...." and she looked her over from head to toe and noticed her boots- And that's when she finally noticed Kinn.
"And who's this young man?" she inquired, staring at him suspiciously.
"Uh..." Phone looked around hurriedly before looking to Kinn and lightly kicked his leg. It was time for him to speak up! She couldn't keep on prattling here! She wasn't very good at lying! Especially to her mom! Then again, her mother could smell a lie a mile away!
