"I...I...i-it's just that..." Ariel turned to Amy with unreadable emotion in her red eyes. "The young master...well, he's always been kind to everyone. Especially to me...his family treats this flawless compassion as a weakness to the business. A liability to the real world..." Ariel looked down to stare at Amy's arm, her own mind plaguing her with long ago forgotten memories. "I was all alone," she whispered, as if to herself. "All alone in the dark...his father came to me and....let's just say that me and you Amy...we're more alike than you realize." By now, faint tears were starting to build on her eyes, and Ariel instantly began wiping them away so Amy wouldn't notice. She had always been trained to conceal her emotions from others, especially those closest to her.
