Verelik watched Alyssa head off with her classmates. He sighed, turning back to Fay. [color=39b54a]"Thank you. I... hate that she has to grow up with the tension of the world at the moment."[/color] He looked back at Alyssa and slightly smiled with a hint of sadness. Verelik held his hands at his hips, suddenly realising he forgot his revolver, then shrugging. Then, not wanting to risk some disapproval for whatever reason, mainly due to his former Water Leafs background, he decided he should head back home. [color=39b54a]"Alright, well, I'm holding you back so I'll let you go. I'll come around to pick her up later." [/color] He looked back down at Fay.

Alyssa had arrived with the others, and she scanned them all to find some familiar faces and perhaps a friend. She knew a few of them, such as Emma, though wasn't sure if she could call any of them a friend. She retreated to the outskirts of the chattering group, hands in pockets.
