"Okay, I guess I start talking to him in here first. We have to get to know each other to build up some trust. I know it might be neccessary to disciplin him but as long as I can help it I'll try to avoid it. Thanks so far." Hanna pulled herself together, being happy that the boy seemed whole she tend to relax and be a bit more reasonable again.
She walked over to Tommy and sat down leaving one seat free between them so he wouldn't feel pushed. "Hello Tommy, are you alright? We were all searching for you. It would be nice if you told an adult you want to go someplace else..." she said in a calm, yet a little exhausted voice from all the running. "I'm Hanna. I would like to be..." she thought carefully about what to say next given his last reaction to the word Mother. "...your new Aunty. How does that sound? I'd really like you to give me the Chance to help you a little here and then. Maybe we can even be friends...what do you say?" she gave this little try all she got even though she didn't know if it would do any good on Tommy.
