<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">“I would never have let the humans kill you.”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff9999">She said watching as he stood letting go of her hand. There was no way she would have let him die of be recaptured by the humans.  </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">“I don’t regret saving you and I would do it again, just as I know you would do the same for me.”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff9999">She said. Her words were true, Raida believed in him and didn’t see him differently because in the Arena he had done what he had to do to live just as she would have done. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">“I don’t think that will kill us, but I still don’t trust them.”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff9999">Which was true, but Raida knew they weren’t going to die, not if she could help it.</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">”Ry'kanos we Stick together.”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff9999"> Raida said as she watched him, not sure how to talk to him, knowing there wasn’t much of a way to bring him peace because he needed to forgive himself and find a way to bring himself peace. There was only so much Raida could do for him and the only way she knew was to heal. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">“You did what you had to do and there is no going back.”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff9999"> That was the truth and Raida could only ease pain. If she could take his memories or turn back time but there was nothing to be done. Slowly, Raida approached the couch by the fire where he sat and sat dien beside him as the fire crackled in the room keeping them warm. She found feel his pain as she gently touched his shoulder, he’d heart beat fast while gently rubbing his shoulder. It was so warm and peaceful in the house.  She was starting to like it here if they could only get the others to trust them.</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">”You need to forgive yourself and we need to just make things right in the present there is nothing that can be done about the past now.”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff9999"> Slowly Raida began to massage both his shoulders while they sat there not knowing what was going to happen between them tonight.  </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">“We both need to relax.”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff9999"> Her hands were so soft while they traveled over his tight muscles with gentleness.</span>
