Lethe's innocent insistence in asking after 'Mommy and Daddy' stirs up emotions in Silas, ones that he hasn't dealt with in some time. Thinking who 'Daddy' might be to him inspires wonderings, visions of what might have been. "I don't know. I... I'd like to know where my father is too." Silas composes himself for a second, then continues. It's important that Lethe understands what happened, though she can be spared of some details. "Someone hurt your mind to control you. The healing process removed his control and your memories of it." He puts a comforting hand on her shoulder, checking her reaction as he does so. "You're about fifteen years old now. I'm sorry."

While Thoron didn't have to write out his response, it did still take a moment for him to say, "No, I suppose not. A team does require open, reliable communication, on that we agree."
"Not everyone is certain to share that view, though. Exaggeration and bluffing are just a matter of course for some... Not to imply that of your team. Say someone doesn't value truth the way we do, though: What reason do they have to not embellish their story? There exists no way to uncover their deception, and it might elevate their standing in the eyes of their peers... Well, something to that effect, anyways."

Silas
"Wha... what?" The girl seems to not know how to respond to that revelation. "No, no! This can't be real... This isn't happening..." She tries to make her way out of bed, but buckles and staggers as soon as she puts pressure on her legs.
Barely catching herself on the edge of the bed, she looks up pleadingly at Silas. "What's... what's going to happen to me?" she asks, barely above a whisper.
Thoron
"I fail to see the point you are trying to make," Austin says, "I don't mind talking to people, tiring as it can be, but I'd like it to be productive. Do you have something that you want to ask me?"

Silas moves Lethe, ready to keep her from hitting her head if she falls. "You'll need to stay here for a while and build up your strength. I'll see what I can do to get you a teacher." Silas's tone becomes less serious with the last sentence, as he smiles at the luxury of being able to focus on something so mundane. "It also depends on what you want to do. But don't worry about that too much. People who have been sick should focus on getting better."

Silas
"What I want to do is to have everything normal again..." She gets back onto the bed, and turns back to look at Silas. "I want to see mommy and daddy. But... that's not going to happen is it? This isn't just a dream..." She looks despondent.
"Thank you, though..." she says at last, quietly. "For at least telling me what happened."

Lethe seems to be taking the news as well as could be expected. Still, she should have some sort of hope for the future. "You might be able to find out what happened to your parents, depending on what you remember." Silas knows that the fate of her parents is unlikely to be happy. However, Lethe deserves the opportunity to find out for herself, and a goal would be good for her.
Silas would like to direct the conversation to any number of topics, but Lethe seems somewhat drained by the past several minutes. Perhaps it would be best to let her keep control of the conversation. "Is there anything else you want to ask me or tell me about?"

Silas
"No..." she says, sounding lethargic. Apparently trying to get out of bed had taken a lot out of her. "I just want to sleep." She starts to try and arrange herself more comfortably on the bed, before turning back and asking, "Will you be back sometime... Silas?" She seems to be trying out the name.
Thoron
"I see that you need some time to collect your thoughts," the other Technician's pad says, the bearer nodding. "Well, if you find that you require me, you can always page me."

Silas smiles at Lethe. "Of course. I'm not sure how often it'll be, but I'll stop by when I can." He pauses for a moment as she settles in, then leaves the room. The meeting went as well as could be expected, given the circumstances.
