Solias spoke. The Kirihayas listened. [color=ed1c24]"But, really, what you are doing is basically forcing people to see your way, in order to live a little longer. There's a mother, she's nearly reached her corrosion rate. She hadn't meant to get pregnant, but nevertheless, she has a one year old. She lives a good life, a roof over her head, and food. She just wants to live long enough for her son to not be a burden on the rest of the population. She trusts us. She won't trust you and by the time she does, it will be too late."[/color]

[color=f26522]"Hm..."[/color]Kirihaya Shou thought for a moment [color=f26522]"It seems you still have a small misconception. The only things we ask of is to not steal and not kill. Other than that, we do give free access to the Erosion Resistance Shots, food, shelter and water. Whether they take food and go out and give it to others is up to them. We have lots of land growing lots of food and lots of animals around."[/color]

[color=fff200]Also if I am not mistaken, that mother you speak of, is North of here, isn't she? Kent had asked for extra Erosion Resistance Shots explaining he was helping a mother of one and sharing with her and her one year old child."[/color] Kirihaya Ayame added.

The middle-aged couple then bowed and said farewell to the more sensible twin, the brother.

Yuki let Hope speak, only to scoff at her words. [color=f7976a]"why? Is just going to be the same. Our way, or no way. You've already judged us guilty for stealing. But we were judged guilty from the day we were born, just for simply living. The girl who look after us tried her best. Until she was taken, for being a cursed child. This, is just one more thing denied us, simply because we don't see things your way. Not that it matters. We don't belong here. We belong in freedom. It's where we thrive. You can't cage a wolf. Look after that girl, or I swear to what ever gods are out there, I will come and rip your throat out"[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"Guilty from birth? You can't see it but you already caged yourself in. You've already been caged by guilt and fear. It's in the back of your mind and will follow you wherever you go. You don't have to do anything we tell you. We won't force you to stay or do things our way. We only ask for two things. Not to steal and not to kill. Don't give the rest of society more reasons to hate us, or perhaps you like the status quo? Where Cursed Children are abandoned, where they are mistreated and forced to live away from others. Stealing and killing only gives them more reasons to do that. Why give it to them?"[/color] Yuki could almost laugh at how easy she just said those words. Even if Hope tried to deny such words, surely, they would haunt her, at the back of her mind.

[color=6ecff6]"She will be fine, and live longer than yourself, I'll say that for sure. But you can go ahead and try to rip my throat. Not that you could."[/color] Yuki stepped towards the house, next to Solias. [color=6ecff6]"Well, up to you what you do. If you don't steal or kill, feel free to drop by an have more Erosion Resistance Shots. We know there's more ways than one to live. There's some Cursed Children who live with the rest of society. We also supply them with the shots too you know."[/color]
