[color=F9FF22]“Rael. How can you be so calm and collected?”[/color]

That was a good question.

How could she? What kind of answer could she give in this situation? Normal people tended to be scared of dying. The Japanese girl wondered on it for a moment, if she would be perceived as some kind of sociopath or worse by telling her that she wasn’t afraid of dying. That her whole life up to this point was miserable so she didn’t care about losing it. Still… she didn’t want to die.

[color=#A84B5E]“I don’t know.”[/color] She said before Benkei finally spoke up to the group.

Benkei spoke with a clear sense of mind. At the very least Rael recognized, as she looked at him, that he was strong. She wasn’t sure if he was broken goods like she was, that he wasn’t afraid. He could’ve been freaking out on the inside for all she knew. Japanese expectations of public presentation wasn’t something they could so easily erase and Rael knew that. She gripped Kalie’s shoulder’s tightly as she smiled at their leader’s speech as he tried to boosten their morale in spite of the situation they found themselves in. Soon enough, she let go of Kalie and rose to her feet while offering Kalie her hand to pull her up.

[color=#A84B5E]“Benkei’s right.”[/color] She turned to the rest of the group, [color=#A84B5E]“If we stay here and wait... we might starve to death. So we have to just stay alive and get back to Thorinn.”[/color]
