Raiya sighed when Nemo told her she couldn't lay down a little longer. When he placed the rune on her she began to immediately warm up, though, which seemed to be a fair compromise. Raiya's expression changed when he lifted her up, [color=ec008c]"Don't remind me, I'll dwell on my actual mistakes later,"[/color] She replied with an angry scowl as she slowly and weakly crossed her arms, [color=ec008c]"But, I didn't ask to be swept up by my two biggest weaknesses. And I also didn't ask you to carry me."[/color] Raiya pouted. When Nemo began to speak about their enemies, Raiya's expression changed to a more serious one. Sure, perhaps at one point Raiya would have liked to see Nemo dismembered horribly and then burned alive. But she no longer held that overwhelming desire in her heart. When did her perspective begin to change? She hadn't put much thought into it, but more and more she began to realize that it was the pattern of Nemo's seemingly selfless acts towards her that changed her mind. She was honorbound to repay certain life debts, and Nemo had recently displayed certain actions that she absolutely had to repay. Although, with the amount of debt that was beginning to stack up, Raiya was beginning to feel more and more that she'd never actually be able to repay Nemo at the rate she was accruing her debts. [color=ec008c]"I need to get stronger..."[/color] She whispered to herself. [i][color=ec008c]That is the only way I can hope to pay my debts and return to my sworn duty of bringing justice to the one who killed my biological parents.[/color][/i] She thought.
