Though the young woman was foul-mouthed in her explanation, Annya did understand that clearly, she had come from horrid family life. Her own parents were quite flawed in many ways but never had she seen many cases of parents hurting their children. Certainly, that drunk man had no resemblance to her mother. But Annya did recognize this situation with a little more thought. Elven warriors who had seen too much sometimes had flipped out in random bursts of rage as they flashbacked to past horrors. Though Saoirse was no warrior, she had been through a battle of her own. She met Saoirse’s gaze once she finally lifted her head and replied sympathetically,[color=fff79a]” Saoirse, I’m sorry. You deserved a better mother… I can understand why you reacted like that now. However, if we become the demons of our past, then we’ll never escape from them, even when they are long gone. It’s important we work on that and I am here to help you with that.”[/color] 

Annya gave the girl a warm smile. [color=fff79a]”Every day is a new journey. Let’s take it on together okay? We’re friends now, anyway right?”[/color]She nudged Ismael as well as she led them to the cafe and opened up the door, [color=fff79a]”And you too Ismael. You best believe you are my comrade now!”[/color] 

The inside cafe was well-lit and was a busy view to the eye. There was a fira with flames blazing in the middle of the room on an elevated stage with chefs swarming around it. Shelves of desserts were displayed above and there were long tables all over the wooden room. Green cabinets and pops of red and green items splashed over the wooden hall. It was not all too busy so it did not take long for Annya to spot the only dwarf in the room.  [color=fff79a]”Yoohoo!”[/color] Annya called as she moved over and leaned on the table,  [color=fff79a]”Hello friend! I apologize for yesterday! So sorry I had to leave abruptly. Hope you weren’t waiting here by yourself too long..”[/color] She offered a hand to him,  [color=fff79a]”What’s your name?”[/color]After a moment, she gestured to Ismael and Saoirse, letting the capable young folk introduce themselves however they liked. 

As they did so, she took a moment to answer her buzzing transmission bracelet and listened to Kharne’s statement. She let out a sigh of relief. She was so relieved Raven was safe and coming back to them with no resistance. [color=fff79a] “Kharne, thank you so much for finding her! See you soon.”[/color] She hung up afterward and then paused.

 [color=fff79a] [i]Wait… Friends?[/i][/color]

The gut instinct Annya got from that idea was not pleasant. It was definitely not a good idea to trust too randoms. But if it was getting Raven back here, then all she could was hope this wouldn’t be too difficult a scenario. It was also best she found out what this dwarf was about before they arrived. [color=fff79a]”So. What led you to me?”[/color]
