Ada turned to Sir Reed, smiling at him as he praised her. The moment she looked at the bird maid that they had beaten though, it suddenly turned into smoke and flew away, which made Ada look around, confusedly before turning to Sir Reed. She had no idea of what had just happened but the fact that they did get rid of one was still true so she was still satisfied. That said, the trouble wasn't over yet, as it seemed that one of the bird maids, now the only one remaining, had gotten Ditzy, asking for them to give Nero back in trade for Ditzy. Unable to attack her due to Ditzy being in front of her, Ada and the rest could only watch as Ozzy began talking with the maid. Even though the situation was a bit complicated, it didn't prevent Ada from hissing at the maid though.

She didn't understand that much of what they were talking about, but the bird maid did seem to be rather distressed about it. She did say something about liking Nero, but if she did like him, why she did try to kidnap him? Did Nero did not like her back? Strangely enough though, Nero said himself that he didn't dislike her but for some reason he couldn't be with her? Thinking about the conversation that they were having was making Ada's head hurt. Lots of things that they said didn't make much sense to her and no matter how much she tried to hear them and understand, it didn't seem it would change. In her opinion, if the bird maid liked Nero, then she wouldn't want to kidnap him and if Nero liked her too, there wasn't any reason for them to not be together... right?

Looking back and forth as each one of them spoke, confusion was clear in Ada's expression. Having stopped hissing, she was just curious and confused, trying to understand the reasoning behind both of their actions. It was then that, interrupting her thinking, Kira suddenly went towards Nero and slapped him. The noise it made was loud enough to make Ada gave a little jump, surprised as she looked at both of them. While she still didn't understand everything that well, it was clear that Kira was mad at Nero for making the bird lady feel like that. That said, Ada wasn't really in a position to advice both of them nor she knew what she could to to make things better so she simply approached the bird maid, using her tail to get up to the bird maid's height and gently patted her head with a smile. Ada felt happy when people praised and patted her so if the bird maid was acting like that just because she was sad, maybe that could help her feel a bit better...

Despite the... sensitive conversation that was going on, Freyr still maintained his composure, keeping an arrow nocked in his bow and aiming at the kikimora maid. That said, he still understood and could sympathize with the maid. He knew how much love could change someone. how complicated it was, filling one's head with all sorts of thoughts and emotions, making them overreact when things happened and how much it hurt to be rejected. Such feelings and part of his thoughts could be seen through his stare if one paid enough attention, despite his unchanging expression.

As the kikimora continued talking though, Freyr couldn't keep his bow aimed at her and ended up lowering it after a bit with a heavy sigh. It was indeed a complicated matter, one that was not really easy to solve. The only ones that could make a choice and do something were Rayya, as Nero called the Kikimora maid, and Nero himself. That said, Freyr couldn't agree with how Nero thought. He seemed, for some reason, determined in giving his life fighting against the Varjans... Enough to make him forget about everything else. It was a prison, shackles that were made by Nero himself.

When Kira suddenly slapped Nero, Freyr didn't react nor was as surprised as the rest of the group seemed to be. It was an understandable reaction after hearing Nero's reasoning...

[color=8dc73f]"Nero, Kira is right. I don't think Rayya is the only one wrong in all this."[/color] he said with a sigh.

[color=8dc73f]"I won't tell a warrior to stop fighting and give up on their ideals, but you act like you are fighting not against the Varjans but against yourself. It seems like the true motive for you to fight is solely to seek for your own death. Ask yourself, what is the true reason for your fight? What do you fight for?"[/color] Freyr continued.

[color=8dc73f]"There is more to this life than hate and anger. Sure, we all will fight if we need to. To protect our ideals, our home and our loved ones but no one should think or live their lives the way you do, Nero. Look ad Rayya, don't you see in her, the reason for you to come back alive?"[/color] he finished, looking at Nero.
