She was right. Neeko had essentially done desertion in the line of duty because of her fear. If they didn't know better, they'd be floating stardust right about now. Xayah pinched the bridge of her nose and steeled her mental for what she was about to say to the poor kid. Looking at her face however, some of that anger dissipated. Something about understanding the fears of reality; Neeko was definitely in that part of her life. [color=FF1493]"...sigh."[/color] What came first instead was a tired sigh. The emotional and physical stress was making themselves apparent. [color=FF1493]"Neeko. I want you to understand that you basically left us all to die up there."[/color] She pointed upwards to emphasize. [color=FF1493]"Well, nearly dead at least. But that's beside the point."[/color] She flicked her hand away in annoyance. [color=FF1493]"You're a [b]Guardian[/b] now Neeko. And a Guardian's duty is to protect the planet they were assigned to, [i]no matter the cost."[/i][/color] The more she spoke however, the more she noticed the pained look on the other girl's face. [color=FF1493]'She must've been really scared huh...'[/color] She walked towards the young Guardian and gently placed a hand on her head. [color=FF1493]"I know you're scared. We all were at some point. That's just a natural reaction."[/color] She rubbed Neeko reassuringly. [color=FF1493]"Next time though, you gotta face your fears. Okay?"[/color] She gave her junior a smile. It was then that a doctor approached the two of them and mentioned that Ahri was safe and awake. A smug look went unto Xayah's face as she thanked the doctor. [color=FF1493]"Now if you'll excuse our vice captain Neeko, she has some 'unfinished business' with Ahri."[/color] Her hand which was on Neeko's head, smacked Sarah's back. She turned away and approached their other team members to inform them of the development. [color=FF1493]"Ahri's alive. You guys can stop worrying now."[/color] The other Vastayan exhaled greatly and Syndra's face softened in response. Rakan then asked a question. [color=00FFFF]"Wait a sec, what were you guys talking about anyways?"[/color] Xayah scoffed and lightly tapped her lover's forehead. [color=FF1493]"None of your business doofus."[/color] Rakan was left with a confused face.
