>There is a stranger in my forest late at night.
>They are frightened and screaming.
>I go to find them.
>It's a small human child.
>They seems to be lost.
>My usual strategy of scarring nuisances away won't work.
>They're crying, too tired to run, and don't even know which way is home.
>They notice me, and stop crying for a moment.
>Does my presence... soothe them?
>Their emotion is weaker, but it's still painfully loud.
>I guess that if I can't remove the person, I can remove the emotion.
>I sit down beside them, open my hair, and give them my hand to hold.
>Wow, that works really well.
>They are cold, and it's making them uncomfortable.
>I wrap my hair round them, and hug them tightly.
>They seem to be at peace.
>Their emotions are weak enough they don't bother me anymore.
>I will hold them here, let them get their rest, and tomorrow I'll help them find their home.
