As Jade extended her hand, Meira looked at it for a moment. Her lips parted briefly, and then she said, “Alright. I will meet your mother,” before her slender, icy fingers took it carefully. When she got to her feet, it took her a moment to find her balance. Meira’s body still ached from the fight, and there were some phantom pains as well, but she managed to push through it.<br/><br/>Meira had gotten a decent amount of rest prior to their arrival on Besaid. Her dreams were plagued with nightmares of that lab, which was exactly what she had expected. It really was going to take awhile before they were completely out of her mind. Until then, she was just going to have to try to cope with it as best she could. Things would calm down eventually.<br/><br/>She hoped.<br/><br/>“Jade… What is your mother like? Is she like you?” There was a bit of wariness in her tone, masked by her curiosity. It was natural that she would ask such a question, right? Thinking back to earlier, Meira was not sure how she felt about someone else looking at her. They all seemed terrified and curious about her at the same time, so why should she not think that Jade’s mother was going to be the same way. She didn’t want to frighten anyone else. Yet, at the same time, she wondered if this was one step closer to exposing what was happening in Bevelle.<br/><br/><span style="color: #0080BF">Jade held Miera gently as the two walked along the sand and soon smooth stone, Jade was silent at first in thought as she thought about her Mother’s reaction. But ever so gently a smile covered her face. “You will surprise my mother but, I feel her natural urge to help other’s will override her question’s at first.” she said a whimsical chuckle escaping her. At the sound of her chuckle a echoing <span style="font-style: italic">Kweeh</span> echoed from the forest track ahead of them. <br/><br/>The sound caused Jade to look up and catch sight of a her father’s Chocobo Fin heading for them. Slowing down to a light trot as he came up to Jade and the injured Miera. It’s call echoing along the begging of the forest at sat down in front of the two woman. <br/><br/>“Guess they heard we had another injured, come on I’ll ride with you” she said with a smile as she offered her hand to help Miera onto the large bird.</span><br/><br/>“I see.” Meira said softly. She hoped that Jade’s mother would not be terrified of her like everyone else. If she was, she wouldn’t mind hiding somewhere until her injuries fully healed. She was quick to heal anyway. Maybe, by the time they got there, she would be healed up enough to where she would no longer need to have her wounds looked at. That would save a lot of trouble for everyone.<br/><br/>She looked the Chocobo over when it came to them. At first Meira was worried, but calmed down when the large, golden bird offered an inviting gesture. “Let’s not keep them waiting then.” She said, looking to Jade for a moment, she nodded and then took her hand, mounting the bird.<br/><br/><span style="color: #0080BF">The light echoing thud of the chocobo’s feet hitting the ground filled the silence of the two women. Jade had sat behind Miera giving her the less bumpy part of their ride. With the echo of the buzzing jungle around them the chocobo rode with elegant speed as it moved an occasional call escaping it’s beak.<br/><br/>Jade’s eyes focused on the road as they passed a few of the other’s from the ship, they were moving mostly supplies back to town. <br/><br/>A shimmering wall of green vegetation stood before the three as the chocobo headed straight for it the sound of rushing water playing nearby. Fin bursted through the green wall of leaves and into the grand sun. The warming heat on their backs as the village came into view. Even though it had been so long since Sin had been vanished the people of Spira had still not fully grasped on to the use of technology, not wanting to tempt fate again. <br/><br/>Pru stood at the edge of town her hair dark as night like her daughter’s, She was dressed in a deep blue gown, her expression was focused as the three stepped before her. “Mother” yelled Jade as she slid off the giant bird. Jade’s arm’s wrapping around her mother’s frame, there embrace touching but brief as Pru took inspection of her child with her deep blue eyes. <br/><br/>Jade’s face covered in a pink hue “Mom nevermind me, I’m fine. But I need you to look over my friend, Mother this is Miera. Miera this is my mother Pru. Pru’s blue eyes watched and lingered over Miera “Come bring her to the office and I will do what I can” her voice direct and firm. With quick movement Jade offered Miera a hand to help her inside. <br/><br/>“Come on don’t worry, her tone is firm but she will be gently she is merely focused on helping you now.” she said her tone soft with a carefree smile.</span><br/><br/>The village that Meira was brought to was rather small. Compared to a city like Bevelle, it almost seemed so insignificant. There were no powerful machines here, and it was almost kind of strange not seeing any around. But there was that same feeling of warmth she had gotten from Kilika. A sense of welcoming has embraced her, even though she was still pretty nervous, which she had embraced indeed. It was something that she could appreciate. She wanted to ask Jade about this place but before she could do so a woman approached them.<br/><br/>From the looks of things, this was Jade’s mother. “I see.” She said in a quiet voice. She looked her over with a slightly curious look and backed away slightly when she spoke. The woman was very stern, but then again she was a mother. There was something about her that she decided she liked almost immediately. This woman did not look at her like she was some kind of freak. The villagers still had her somewhat worried, but she could tell that Jade’s mother… she really did seem like she was a lot like Jade.<br/><br/>It was interesting.<br/><br/>Meira smiled a little just then. “Thank you for your hospitality.” Her tone was not quiet or shy, but sincere. She truly was grateful. For the first time, she felt like she was able to relax a little more. Extending her hand, she allowed herself to be taken to her office. The thought of medical equipment was also a little worrying. Since this village did not have that much advanced technology, she was not too worried that she wouldn’t be able to handle everything but she was still a little uneasy.
