Dmitri looked at Adrianna, who seemed spaced out. She extended her hand in front and shouted, "Stop!" But the child had gone.
"What happened, Adrianna? Whom are you asking to stop?" asked Dmitri worried at her behavior in front of her subjects.

Adrianna looked blankly at Dmitri. "Dmitri, there was a child here right now. Did you see him?"
Dmitri shook his head, "No Adri, there was no child. Do you mean he was unattended? Where did you see him?"
"He was- he was standing right here in front of me. Dmitri, there was a child here!" she reiterated her stand.
Afraid that she might appear insane in front of the people out there, he whispered in her ear, "Are you referring to my little baby that is tickling to enter you?"
