It is a good thing to be much calmer but a bit terrified with what’s happening in the back of her mind. She listens carefully to what Kazuma has to say. However, before she could speak up, Sif, or in actuality, Lizzie spoke before her. She sighs slightly and agrees with what Lizzie said. In all honesty, it makes the most sense. It is nice to know there are people with a voice of reason in the crazy world as they are stuck in. She did notice all the books that Lizzie had on the table she walked away from to join everyone else. All she could do was smile at Lizzie with a smile in return. It was one of the few things that make more sense; Graves, Rael, Kazuki, and Seele will be back for whatever they are dealing with first. It makes the most sense, to be honest with herself, which was the first time she actually was herself in a long time. All it took was the announcement of them being trapped in the game for her to breakdown her walls, which she built up to roleplay as someone else. A bit selfish, in all honesty, but she didn’t want to feel hurt as she had previously in real life. It makes sense where Rael was coming from but didn’t have to be that cruel to get your point across. However, you can’t change the past only have to look forward to the future. All that came to mind is to stay true to herself even if it hurts to do so, and it’s the reason why she has never done anything in her life that was fun. It was all for her future, and everything else didn’t matter much to herself until now. Kalie had her eyes go wide when Lizzie alluded to something about this group they have and made her sigh with slight regret. It hurts slightly to remind herself of what she and her sister went through in their childhood. She shook her head slightly and sigh again with a bit of internal frustration at herself for all the schism between Susan and her. It took her a while to finally speak up to interject with words of her own. [color=F9FF22]” I agree with what you are saying. It wouldn’t be a family without all the emotions going through.”[/color] In the back of her mind, she did feel like it was a bit ironic to say those words. When all Dawn had to deal with was nothing much besides chasing her future. It took her parents, and weirdly enough, it felt like her sister was trying to tell her something without saying it. She didn’t or couldn’t understand what Susan talked about at all, a bit blind and slightly naive to her sister’s feelings. Dariel said, a bit shocked her, including what Arie said, but Dariel does have a point. She smiles gently towards Dariel. The subject of flat cakes made her want to give everyone a standing ovation of how good they are. It was to help Dariel’s business by giving a great review of his cooking. [color=F9FF22]” You should try the flat cakes, everyone, they are outstanding. Dariel is great at what he does.”[/color] A bit funny, but Dawn was basically complimenting the chef that cooked her those wonderful flat cakes. She couldn’t help but give him more praise than he deserves. She did already have some and tried to give the others a push to eat the flat cakes. They reminded her of when her mother cooked pancakes at their home in Topeka, Kansas. [color=F9FF22][i]’ The chocolate chip pancakes mom made were wonderful.’[/i][/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]
