[color=ed1c24]"Because we are a curious pair"[/color] Solias replied to the girl's question, giving a slight nod, indicating that he was listening. Home, and a play were cursed children lived were odd concepts to the two, and they exchanged looks, more wary then before. But there didn't seem to be any scent of deception, not that Hope could tell. Still, Hope would be wary for a long time. Solias trusted more easily, so Hope was happy to leave all the talking and anything else to him. She'd just be looking for a knife in the back. But when the girl spoke of the Kirihaya family, she frowned. The kirihaya family had been who they had been looking for. No one should have known that, so perhaps this was genuine. [color=f7976a]"They are who we came to see"[/color] She said softly, glancing around them, wary still. Solias looked to her, and took her hand, giving it a squeeze, before pulling her into the cabin. She sighed, and took her hand back, walking in on her own power, glancing around the cabin, and then back to Yuki, watching her with suspicion. The inside of the cabin was homely, warm, but that just put Hope's back up more. The Kirihaya couple appeared to be middle aged, a nice looking couple. Solias, being the friendly person that he was, greeted them. [color=ed1c24]"hello, Mr and Mrs Kirihaya. I'm Solias, and this is my sister, Hope. Your...hunter here came across us, I assume at your orders...but we were coming here anyway."[/color] "Yes, we sent Yuki out to collect you, as you have been stealing" mr Kirihaya said, causing Hope to scoff. [color=f7976a]"And while we steal, it prevents other children from stealing. I don't care if it's wrong. There are children starving, and you can't support them all. And every day, there are more cursed children born, more left to die. You can't keep us here"[/color] "That's never our intention, merely to teach you to be independent without steal-" [color=f7976a]"if that were possible, don't you think we would have done it by now, especially when we provide food to others? I suppose you want us to stop rescuing imprisoned and captured children, to? That's not going to happen"[/color] [color=ed1c24]"Hope-"[/color] [color=f7976a]"no, solias, this is just another kind of prison! They keep the children here, because of the shots. Its just another form of control."[/color] While Hope thought it was good for cursed children to have a home, it nevertheless irked her that it just didn't seem...all together right. No matter how safe they thought they were, as well, normals would hunt them, and children would die. Hope had thought this was a bad idea from the start, but had gone along ith it because Solias had wanted to. Now, she turned away, and headed back outside, fully expecting Yuki to prevent her from leaving. Hope would have relished that.
