Riu's eyes widened a bit as Sora said her mother's name - Lily. The last word Riu's mother had said to her as she shoved her through the portal to this world had been about finding someone. The name Lily sounded right, but Riu couldn't be sure. She hid her expression before Sora looked back up from the mixture she was making.<br/>"However the heart of such a creature is a sought-after rarity said to lend power to those that consume it. So I would not want to put anyone's life in danger. It was one of the main reasons for them to be hunted, to begin with." Sora explained. It was the reason why Haru had been so adamant to Riu not to tell anyone, and now Riu understood. In fact, Riu suddenly understood hundred of thousand years of her people's history.  She made a soft oh sound.<br/><br/>"Thank you. I appreciate this. I would also appreciate any help you can give me with it in the future. I cannot return home with this." She flexed her hand. Riu felt the need to explain a little to Sora, the woman deserved it, and maybe it would help her find a cure. "My grandfather did it. He wants me dead and possibly assumes I am dead already." Sora was using the past tense whenever she spoke of Lily, there was no way Sora's mother could help her unless there was something in her notes. "I sympathize with your loss." Riu's mother was still alive, but she had no way to contact her. Everyone she ever knew might as well be dead, even Alice. Riu slammed a lid on that thought. "If you need help let me know. I was a rebel back home." Being a bar wench wasn't her style it was just what put a roof over her head. If she could help Sora with her war then maybe there was hope back home too. A stupid pipe dream, but something that gave Riu a glimmer of hope.
