Talion felt Ensign Mala return to Ten Forward before he actually saw or heard her. This was not because of him being sensitive to her abilities, but rather because she was in such a strong emotional state. He had turned his head and stood to meet her before she ever said a word. He had a notorious soft spot for a damsel in distress and instinctively felt protective, moving her to a discrete corner and doing his best to shield her from view of the others as he handed her a handkerchief and said softly, "Of course. What's this about? Are you alright?"
He dabbed at a tear with one hand while using his other to take one of her hands and guide it up to the handkerchief. A quick glance around and he decided that it was best to get her some relative privacy for whatever this was about. They had already drawn enough attention earlier and the place was starting to get busy. Escorting her in a gentlemanly manner, he did his best to minimize her embarrassment and they exited to the corridor. He was still trying to figure out where his office was, so that wouldn't do. Her quarters was...hmmm...no idea where that was and it might not look appropriate for him to take her there. He decided they should get into the turbolift and perhaps his quarters were best, unless she told him they should go elsewhere. At least at his quarters, they would not be alone exactly, though he didn't know if a 6 year old qualified as being a chaperone, though there was Thor.
As they stepped into the turbolift, he selected Deck 6 and said, "Now, what's this all about?"
