[Center][h1]Before The Festival[/h1][/center]

River turned to face Kyo while still paying attention to the meeting taking place.
[Color=82ca9d]"Well, yeah. We're going to need all the help we can get if we want to get out of here. I'd like to believe I'm a great support, so naturally my help will be needed to keep Reylan and the others alive through our the fight"[/color]

[color=pink]That's so cool!"[/color] Her hands balled into fists as she raised to her chest, voice deceptively quiet for her expressed excitement [color=pink]"You must be a hero keeping people alive!"[/color] Her eyes were bright for a few moments before a sad expression overtook it [color=pink]You're not gonna leave me behind, right?"[/color]

There was a slight, low chuckle [color=82ca9d]"Ofcourse we arent going to leave you behind. Once we beat this floor you can come with us to explore what more this place has to offer."[/color]

Immediately her attitude perked back up [color=pink]"Okay. Do you promise?"[/color] She asked hopefully [color=pink]"I want to be an adventurer like all of you!"[/color]

River held some worry about making empty promises. She was hardly an NPC but she also didnt seem to be a player. Would Kyo even be able to advance into other floors? [Color=82ca9d]"I'm sure you'll make an amazing adventurer!"[/color]

Her eyes went wide with pure joy [color=pink]"You really think so? That makes me so happy!"[/color]  She brushed the hair out of her eyes [color=pink]"I still dont remember much but I know I want to explore the whole world along with you all."[/color]A soft smile appearing on her lips 

River smiled at her brightly, hiding the sorrow he felt [color=82ca9d][i]Hero? Huh, some hero. After last night I feel more like a villain.[/i][/color] He ruffled  Kyos hair before speaking [color=82ca9d]" Thank you. I have to go right some wrongs now"[/color]

As River got up to leave, Kyo grabbed ahold of his sleeve. [color=pink]"River. You're a good person."[/color] She looked up at him sincerely.

After having some words with Kyo River realised something he had to do. He got up and whistled for Pepper to come to him. [Color=82ca9d]"Hey girl, gonna need you to do me a favour. Fly up and scout the town, if you spot a player with a red tag stop and hover above them so I know where to go ok?"[/color] he gestured towards this player tag and then a red apple by a stand that was beginning to set up for the festival. He was nervous about confronting Uchaka but it was something that had to be done. After some time had passed River noticed Pepper began to slow down and then finally halted. Hovering above a portion in town and flying in a circle.

[Color=82ca9d][i]Good girl! Now it's my turn[/i][/color] River made his way through the streets of the bustling town, watching out for all the NPCs setting up for the festival and taking a few detours along the way due to event streets being blocked off in some sections. Finally she was in sight. His heart began to eat like war drums, loud and fast as each step he took towards her reverberated inside his head. Tears began to pool at the inner corners of his eyes as his nerves began to take control making him want to turn around and leave. This had to be done. Finally behind her he choke out his words.
[Color=82ca9d]"I'm sorry for yesterday."[/color] silence clung into the air after he spoke. He wanted to say more but was still processing the interaction [color=82ca9d]" I'm sorry I sounded so accusatory. I just...I didnt have such a great introduction to this game and sometimes it gets the better of me but that's no excuse for my actions. I realised you could of done it for the sake of living and although it doesn't excuse murder...it doesnt give me the right to treat you poorly either. We're all in this game together and we need to start acting like it. So instead of meeting you with malice, I meet you with kindness, something I'm sure you weren't met with in the beginning which may have lead to your current position."[/color]
