Mikayla was speechless at Aerius' reply. She had never seen him like this before. It was so not like him and she wasn't sure what to say or do. She quietly got into the truck, unsure what to say. So, at first, she said nothing. When her mother told her to talk to him, Mikayla sighed in her mind. 'And say what?' she thought. She had no idea what she was supposed to say.<br/><br/>"Aerius...Thank you for what you did."<br/><br/>Who knows what the raiders would have done to her or the other hostages if he hadn't stepped in. She was thankful for that.
