[center][h1][color=6ecff6]Ada[/color][/h1][/center] [sup][@PaulHaynek][@Restalaan][@Stern Algorithm][/sup] Ada was still a bit confused by all that, but she was happy to notice that the bird maid seemed to have calmed down a bit, releasing Ditzy as she gently patted her head. While the bird maid still seemed to be a bit shaken after everything, the fact that despite her silence she was letting Ada pat her did mean that she liked it, right? It was a good thing that Ada had that idea then. Ada stood there patting Rayya for a few moments more before giving her another smile and walking back to where the group was. At that moment, Ada heard Ozzy's voice just as he began to fly, noticing only now that Kira was already flying away in the distance. Understanding that he was going after Kira, Ada waved towards Ozzy, letting him know it was everything fine. Despite the strange mood in the air, the situation seemed to be mostly solved with the bird maid already calmer and no one in immediate danger. Although both Rayya and Nero seemed to still be thinking about troublesome stuff, judging by the bird maid's silence, her eyes and how Nero was talking, it didn't seem like Ada or anyone in their group could do anything to solve those type of problems. That said, Nero did seem to be feeling bad too and maybe the same thing she did to Rayya could also help him to feel a bit better. With the idea that a smile and head pats would certainly make anyone feel better, Ada unceremoniously walked towards Nero while he was still talking and did the exact same thing as she did to the bird maid, before leaving him with a gentle smile and returning to the group, looking at them almost as if asking what they would do now.

He didn't know if his words had any impact on the outcome or if it was all thank to Kira's outburst or maybe the words the others said but he was glad it was all over. Truth be told, for someone who wasn't that good with his own emotions, having to deal with other's emotions and such types of problems was really exhausting. Due to that, he was rather thankful that Ozzy was the one who went after Kira to talk after she flew away. Not only Freyr didn't know if he would be of much help but he felt like having to deal with Rayya and Nero was enough regarding emotional problems for him. [color=8dc73f]"A doozy indeed."[/color] Freyr said with a chuckle, agreeing with Haley as he gently hugged her as she leaned her body onto his. [color=8dc73f]"I'm... not exactly the best person to solve these kind of problems so... Yeah, it was exhausting."[/color] He said as he found comfort embracing her. [color=8dc73f]"What is important is knowing that you're fine and nothing happened to you."[/color] he said, hugging her a little bit tighter. Still, as Nero began to talk, explaining about Rayya, how he was a Black Wolf and other things, it was clear for them that his situation was more complicated than just a small misunderstanding with Rayya. That said, there was one thing about what Nero was talking about that Freyr himself could relate to. The part about his Oaths to the Black Wolves. [color=8dc73f]"... Oaths can be dangerous, Nero. No matter how you look at them, they are but shackles to bind us to something. If you don't let go of your own past, of the oaths you made, they will make you a prisoner of your own past."[/color] he said with a rather distant tone. [color=8dc73f]"I speak this from experience. I too, had to make a choice regarding an Oath I took. Unlike you though, I made the choice to break it. Even though I lost many things by breaking this oath, I do not regret my decision for I gained much more than I lost and more importantly... I now live according to my own will. With no oaths nor my past to trap me or slow me down."[/color] he said with a discreet smile. [color=8dc73f]"While I can't be of much help regarding these matters, I hope my previous experiences might help you to make a decision. One that you will not regret in the future."[/color] he finished with a smile.
