Cassie stayed staring at the floor when she heard his footsteps approaching her and he even sat on the bed next to her, speaking to her and seemed to be at least trying to make her feel better. Some of the things he said weren't things that she wanted to hear, like her being the only half Lunariran-half human. That was such a lonely thing to think about. But, at the same time, some of the things he said made her feel a little bit better. Like her being unique and proof the humans and Lunairans could have gotten along. After all, if her mother and father could have gotten along enough to actually come to love each other and have a child together, then didn't that say both species could have gotten along if they tried?

The last couple of sentences he said made her pause and hesitantly look over at him, her gaze meeting his when he put what she had told him into her own situation. How could she argue with that when she had been the one to give him that advice just the night before? Her eyes meeting his, she sighed, a somewhat sad smile coming to her face as she nodded, "Yeah I guess it does." Looking back down at the photo album, she opened it up, taking the two trinkets out and hold them in one hand as she used the other to flip tot he page with the picture of her parents. 

Her fingers ran over the two trinkets slowly, thinking about her parents and took a shaky breath, her hand clutching the necklace and pocket watch tightly in her hands after a moment, "I remember....when I was younger, my mother used to hide her Lunairan appearance from everyone other than me and my father. She used to put these contacts in her eyes to make her eyes seem green and not violet. I used to ask her why she did....I had never really understood why she would hide her eyes when they were so pretty. I thought it was so cool that they glowed the way they did. She would always reply to me that people wouldn't understand and might hate her if she showed her eyes to them....back then that was so confusing for me....my mother was such a kind and beautiful woman....it never made sense to me that someone might hate her for her appearance because it was a little different....

"And then I saw you and it was then that it clicked. I never had seen a Lunairan before I saw you so for me to suddenly realize my mother was your kind was like taking my whole world, everything I knew abut myself and my parents, and turning it upside down..." She shook her hand and scratched the back of her neck, growing quiet again, running her hand over the picture of her parents as well as holding the two trinkets close to her.

"I guess I just....I wish my parents were still here...they always knew jut the right things to say and how to make me feel better when I was child. Maybe they would have the answers for me I want to know. Like how much of a Lunairan am I? What abilities or traits could I have? Or am I just a human with a bit more durability? I mean, there's so many questions I want to ask them that I know I'll never be able to."
