Kathy and Hiro both stopped arguing and smiled as they saw Kassandra look so happy now. "You're very welcome!" Kathy said back as they watched Kassandra began to read.

"But what are we going to do now?" Hiro asked, more determined and nervous than ever about helping Kassandra out. 

"Uh... I don't know... but as long as they are not hurting her, maybe they will let her go eventually when they have finished their research," Kathy said wistfully. 

Hiro didn't think that was very likely, but it didn't hurt to have a little, tiny bit of hope. "Yeah... I guess," he said for now. Wanting to change the subject, he held up his camera and looked at the photos that he just took. He was extremely pleased on how it turned out, though he believed that it was more due to Kassandra's beauty rather than his own ability. He wondered whether he should show her the photos... but realized that he forgot to ask her for her permission first. This wasn't like taking pictures of fish after all... he hoped he didn't intrude on her privacy. 

"Can you ask her if it is okay that I took pictures of her?" Hiro asked Kathy as he held the camera display so Kassandra to see.

Kathy does such.
