"You're...mother?" She says slowly, her eyes moving to look into Brian's. "I...never had a mother..." Her finger was still on the necklace, and she blinks when he tells her it was called a hope lock. "Hope...Something I haven't felt for a long, long time..." She looks back at the necklace, and then removes her finger. She could sense that he was treating her differently than before, not with just fear, but kindness. Why? She stood there pondering why this might be, and Sebastian, catching Brian's look, just shrugs, not sure as to what was going on. "Um, Juliette?" Sebastian asks, caution in his voice. "Hmm?" Was all she replied with, her eyes still focused on the pendant around Brian's neck. "I'm going to make some breakfast for Brian. Would you like some?" He continues, and she shrugs. "Whatever..." "Alright..." Sebastian replies softly, and then leaves the room, Loupe close behind.<br/><br/>There was something about that pendant that stirred Juliette, made her feel calm. She sits on the chair, and then looks out the window. "Hope..." She murmurs, staring out at the rising sun that was just above the horizon. "Your mother....is dead you say? What happened?" Her voice was as before, calm, and soft, filled with a sort of emotion that some would never have thought she could feel. Concern and overwhelming sadness for the boy's loss. As she had never had a mother or father, she was slightly jelous, but still the fact that his mother had died...it made her feel terrible.
