While he pondered on what could possibly be the reasoning the person in question would give, the phone rang to his left. "She could be here, now..." He walked on over and took the phone to his right ear. "Hello. This is Zechariah."

"Yes, this is the front desk. Kellin is here, though she is being rather fiesty, right now. She is most likely going to need supervision wherever she goes. I hope that won't be too much of a problem, for you, at the moment, since she is supposed to meet you for counseling."

"No, ma'am. Not at all. I'm on my way."

The young man hung up and went on over to the front desk. It only took several minutes before he arrived at the scene. What he saw made him raise an eyebrow. This is going to be extremely tricky, I imagine... The young lady was indeed fiesty, considering two guards were on her. And yet, there was no hate dwelling within him. All he felt was a stern determination to do all he could to assist her with whatever was troubling her.

The woman at the desk glanced up at him with an emotionless face. [b]"Ah, Zechariah. Glad you could come. Here is the young lady who is supposed to meet with you. Hope you can handle her."

The young man did not answer her. Zechariah only walked up closer. He knew she would probably kick him or something, yet he was unwilling to appear harsh or unforgiving. After all, that would not be of much help. His confused demeanor turned into a heartwarming grin. Supportiveness was key to success, here.

He looked Kellin in the eyes as he spoke in a calm, yet comforting tone. "Kellin, it's all right. We're here to help you. That's the whole point of this place." His hand was raised as if to tell her to calm down. "Now, I know what's it's like to geraise a fist. I've been there plenty of times while growing up. You can let off steam in the counseling room. I have a punch bag set up, there, for such occassions. I even have a few rubber balls, in my desk, for you to squeeze. That always eases tensions." Holding out his hand, he posed the query, "Shall we get on with your appointment?"
