"How did we get here....the Transport...ruins?...mommy..." She looked down at her hands and the dirtiness of them from this previous adventure. Her thoughts were going from remembering being in the front yard with her mother as a child, to sitting next to a horse watching a fire far away...and the years of her mother's tears.

She felt something tickling her cheek and when she reached up to scratch it, it was wet. She hadn't realized she'd started crying but as she did, her palms went up to her eyes and rubbed till there were no more tears. This action caused her to snap back to the current and she looked up at Valen's face. Her brown eyes met his eyes, tears and everything, and all she could muster was an apology for landing them here. She looked down at the ground and got angry at herself for allowing this to happen. She didn't want to be here. She'd tried hard enough to bury the memories even, but to be drawn back to the very place her family fell apart...it was too much.
