[color=gray]While at first Viola was glad to see Ophelia was still the same kind girl she always knew, worrying not only about her and Cyrus' well being. But the moment she mentioned the words 'friends and family', Viola felt a surge of negative feelings storming her mind, a dark side of her that was influence from the experiments and the incomplete 'reeducation' process she underwent back in Daka Island... 

Did Ophelia really forget about everything? About her siblings and what happened to their family... Did she really forget about her... [i]Or had she deliberately abandoned them? Abandoned Viola to suffer by herself in Daka Island? Abandoned her siblings, forgot about her family and everything that happened to them?[/i] 
But still, it was undeniable that Ophelia... or better, 'Phia' was happy where she was right now. Even though she forsook her name and who she was. Should they really try to make Ophelia remember who she was or should they just let 'Ophelia' stay dead and let 'Phia' live her new life? [i]Even if that was the case, did Ophelia really deserve such peace and happiness, after having abandoned her... Abandoned all of them? Why was she entitled to such happiness after Viola had suffered so much?[/i]

Even though it was a very subtle change, her brother Cypress would likely have noticed Viola's expression getting darker and if not, the vines shifting uncomfortably around her body while an internal conflict raged inside her mind. Even after they entered the small village after being guided by Phia, Viola's expression remained the same, too distracted by her internal conflict to even notice the stares of mistrust and almost hostility directed at them as they made their way to a small restaurant.

[color=7809A4]"Some food... would be nice indeed..."[/color] Viola said after a few seconds. 

The time they took to get to the village and the small restaurant they were in at the moment did seem to be enough for Viola's mental to get a bit more... stable. At least for now.[/color]

[center][color=gray][color=F9F8E8]Time:[/color] One week after Zora arrived into Avalia.
[color=F9F8E8]Location:[/color] Riverbloom, The River
[color=F9F8E8]Interactions:[/color] Aurora [@mole], Barrock [@Conscripts], Rowan
[color=F9F8E8]Mentions:[/color] [/color][/center]
[hr]

[color=gray]Zora watched, curious as Rowan expressed his reluctance in disclosing any more information about their 'training' than what he deemed necessary, undoubtedly in order to avoid any possible problem regarding information leak. It didn't take long until Aurora interceded for Barrock, mentioning that perhaps they might be able to trust him.

[color=F9F8E8]"Aurora's approval of Barrock already has a great deal of weight for me regarding whether to trust him or not. Besides, I do consider myself being quite a good judge of character and despite our brief first meeting, Barrock doesn't seem like someone who would betray others after giving his word."[/color] Zora said, looking to Barrock with a brief smile.

When Barrock asked what would he get for joining them, Zora let out a mischievous smirk, of someone that not only already expected such answer, but would be in fact, disappointed if it wasn't the case. It was good to know some rules remained the same, whether she was in her old world or here in Availa.

While back in her world, a favor from 'the' Zora Sene would be worth more than an entire ship and the lives of it's crew, she was well aware that here in Avalia, her name did not carry nearly as much weight as it used to... At least for now. Besides, she had little to offer regarding riches or material possessions, seeing how she had arrived on Avalia only a few days ago. 

[color=F9F8E8]"As Rowan said though, this... 'mission' is not free of danger and ultimately, it is your choice whether you decide to help us or not. Regardless, I can assure you that your help will be rewarded, should you decide to assist us."[/color] Zora said with a calm expression before she looked to Rowan, as if waiting to see what he was willing to offer Barrock for his help.
