Livia Hayes, Tahra Casey, and Kaito Iwasa
When Sophie finally relented, Kaito gave her a gentle smile before placing another soft kiss to her forehead. "Good girl. I want you to be open with all of us, just as I'll be open with you as well. There's nothing to be scared about, Sophie. Things will work themselves out in the end." Even if the road was bumpy along the way, it had to be worth it in the end. There was no way they lived this life of theirs just to end up dead like the rest of their brethren; Kaito wasn't going to stand for that. "Cheer up, okay? What do you say we go and talk to the others right now? The sooner, the better I think. That way we can be on our way to see what we can do for your family.
Livia was lost in thought, thinking about not only her own life growing up but also finding her thoughts were on Sahara again. The other hunter was just trying to help and took the brunt of an attack to save Mai; Livia only wished that they had believed her when she called Livia a traitor. The former hunter could live with that kind of title but she really wanted to believe that they wouldn't kill Sahara. Not until they had answers, which would take time to get since she'd have to recover from the wound first. Hearing her name suddenly made her thoughts stop and her eyes drifted over to the scientist. That was a really good question and one that Livia wasn't even sure she had an answer for. Her shoulders shrugged some as her gaze glanced towards the kitchen. "I don't know. All I know is that I want answers, which means I have to get to my father. I have a feeling that this isn't going to be the last confrontation these dragons have with the organization so...I'm hoping they'll let me stay with them a little while longer. I...want to help them. I don't want things to continue as they are now, especially not with what's being done to them. When you first told me some of the things being done...I didn't believe it. I thought that you were exaggerating, that there was no way my father would allow such heinous acts to be done. Rescuing Tahra sure proved that thought wrong. I'm going to confront him and demand answers." There was a strong determination in Livia's tone, one that showed she wasn't going to back down no matter what. Slowly, her gaze settled on Mai before she nodded towards her. "What do you want to do, Mai? You have to make the decision for yourself about how you want things to play out for you. Essentially, you're free even though you'll more than likely have to live on the run now as well. What do you want want to do?" She repeated the question, wondering and sort of hoping that Mai would feel the same about at least staying with the dragons.
