In a normal situation, Hayley would never welcome an enemy into what she considered her "home", but she knew that Nigel and Arlia had lost more than just a home. They'd lost one of their own, a family and friend. Having lived in the streets herself, she didn't have the heart to make them go through what she did, especially with Crey now actively going after their heads. 

Watching as Arlia gently draped her arms around her grieving lover, Hayley replied, "First thing's first. We need to get everybody patched up and looked after... Then we have to train harder and I do mean all of us. If this is just a small show of what Crey could do, we are obviously out of their league. We have to be stronger... so nobody has to lose anyone or anything to them again." Somehow, her own words made her heart beat furiously and her hands clenched into hard fists. Arlia, still in a state of shock, asked, "You... You would let us stay with you?" she asked, sounding as if she was also pleading for the three of them for help on Nigel's behalf.
