Kiara
"It's not controversial." Kiara replied, looking at Renault. "It's the truth. If we're going to be fighting to keep the world from succumbing to its own madness I'd rather not be like all the other Asylums and be depressed or sadistic, beaten down by the darkness of the world we are forced to see every day. Or, even worse, turn into the monsters we hunt." Kiara paused, then quoted softly.
"'He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. For when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.' Nietzsche was right. When fighting monsters, we have to be careful we don't become monsters." Her eyes suddenly brightened from their melancholy mood and she glanced mischievously at Renault. "Unfortunately, I believe AMRO is going to send us against wolves, not lambs. We're supposed to hunt the hunters to protect the lambs, remember. We're not quite shepherds, but we're not quite wolves either. However, that doesn't mean we can't have fun with the more gullible members of AMRO. Who knows? We might even get away with it."
As Sparks spoke she turned and stared in obvious confusion at him for a few moments, before it clicked into place what he was asking about. "Oh!" She exclaimed, somewhat sheepishly. "I forgot to mention Eric. He's my shadow. Literally." Kiara gestured behind her and Eric raised a hand and waved to them. Kiara glared at him. "Shut up Eric, and be nice. I don't care, you have to be nice to people. Yes. No. This isn't like that time at all! Stop being so paranoid." She turned her glare to Ben. "We were helping you because you were injured. We thought that perhaps you were in to much pain to talk. Please let us go back to that assumption beca-" Whatever Kiara was about to say next was lost as she was knocked over, along with Renault, by a charging woman.
As she disentangled herself from Renault, she heard Ben's comment and Geko's subsequent reaction. With a sigh she picked herself up and put herself quickly between Geko and Ben, sidestepping every time the lost number tried to get around her. "I'm sorry, he's an ass, I know, but don't you think he's been through enough for one day?" Kiara said with only a slightly nervous smile. "Besides, I think your wife is strangling Sparks and Bits." In sharp contrast to her calm, Eric launched himself free of Kiara and began swirling and gesturing around Omari, trying to get the students attention and tell him to go save Kiara from being murderised by Geko.
