Do you think we should let him join?
[The girl twists in D's arms to look at Liem better, giving him an appraisal. Ever been judged by a child's eyes? She has an ordinary outfit on, all except for the red sash she has crudely pinned at the shoulder. Like a little Legionary.
Finally, she nods her head firmly. D looks again at Liem. He doesn't smile, but there's one in his voice.]
