Kassandra smiled warmly as she finished her song. She took no notice of the camera during, not that she would have known what it was to begin with. She simply sang her heart out, to an audience of one. Honestly, she hadn't meant for it to be just Hiro. But there was a piece of her deep inside that was so happy that it was. Hiro had started it all with his kind and gentle nature. So maybe this sort of praise was just for him.

Once she finished, she looked rather pleased with herself. Hiro had tears running down his face, and that was unexpected to her. It was supposed to be a happy song. She tilted her head at him, but before she could try to comfort him, Kathy was back. 

She dropped in some kind of flat scroll covered in something shiny. Kassandra hadn't been expecting it to be that quick. Maybe she had been singing longer than she thought.

She plucked it up as it floated down, and took a look at the first page. It was in her language! She was delighted. "Thank you, thank you! Thank you Kathy! You are wonderful." She beamed a brilliant smile, and settled down on the floor of her tank. She looked just like any reader, stretched out with some wonderful words in front of her. "This will be good. I can tell." And she started reading, letting the strange and scary world around her slip away.
